In Reply to: Did Leonard Maltin actually SEE all the movies he lists in his bestselling 'Movie And Video Guide'?? posted by Vic T. on December 26, 2001 at 20:23:13:

I stopped buying or even consulting Maltin years ago in favor of Mick Martin and Marsha Porter's Video Movie Guide. It's worth it just for the cross-indexing. Maltin's reviews and sensibilities I always found to be just a little too conservative or safe as if they were written for people who only go out to rent one movie. I seem to recall that after his reviews there were initials that indicated which of his staff or stable of contributors wrote the review.
