 Not Up To Past Standards January 5, 2009
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Film Encyclopedia has been the gold standard of reference works for brief biographies of persons prominent in the movie film industry, including listings of their credits. But the 2008 edition is not a full update of the 2005 edition. While credits have been updated for persons listed in the previous edition, and death dates for those who have died, the encyclopedia does not seem to have added biographies for young actors who have gained prominence in recent years. Among those not listed in the 2008 edition are Javier Bardem, Ellen Page, Jennifer Hudson, Marion Cotillard, Patrick Wilson, and Beyonce Knowles. This is a disappointment for those of us who would like to know something of their background and film performances.
 Everything you ever wanted to know about all associated with making films November 22, 2008

This book is a dream come true. I had in my possession for many years, the previous Film Encyclopedia, and enjoyed using it as my reference book so much that it was practically falling apart. Now, this updated version is up-to-date, lighter weight, because it is not a hardcover, and loaded with information about the people who contributed to film from the beginning up to the present. It is easy to carry around and use, and I just love it as my number one reference book. You will, too. It is a must for any film buff.

I have bought every edition of this excellent film encylopaedia and have never found it wanting. It is the most thorough and excellent reference on everything to do with the movie world.
