Summary: OK for Amazon's Price - however EW Can Be Trite & Vapid
Comments: Entertainment Weekly attempts to straddle the line between Fan/Tabloid content and serious stories, however usually fails at either. The 1st few pages have some valuable entertainment news, with a minumum of fluff. The next 60% of the magazine is where the articles cover artists to appeal to the lowest common denominator. The last 1/3 of the magazine is almost allly reviews of movies, TV shows, DVD, music (CD,DVD, and online), and books.
One of my pet peeves is too-frequent issues dedicated to upcoming movies. Then, subsequent issues cover then again during release. only to rehash them yet again as and end-of-the-year retrospective issues. If you live and breath movies, this might appeal to you. For me there is too much time spent on movies that aren't worth seeing even once, let alone cover them in issue after issue.
So why do I subscribe?
For around 50¢ an issue, there is value in the magazine. Decent coverage of new and re-issued DVD movies, TV shows, and music. With studios re-issuing the same DVD's again and again, EW does an OK job of describing whether to consider an upgrade. I have saved $ by not purchaseing a new version that is of no real improvement to what I own.
I have also discovered movies and music I haven't otherwise run across.
As long as you do not pay more than $25-30 per year, Entertainment Weekly is a fair value. Just do not pay their $1.00+ per issue renewals - purchase a new subscription from Amazon for way less. |
