Premiere Magazine

Pros: Good overview of current and upcoming movies in each issue, well written, and entertaining
Cons: Not much coverage of foreign or independent films

Looking for a magazine that keeps you up-to-date with the latest news in Hollywood and with many of today’s films? Premier Magazine might just be what you want. Premier tends to focuses on Hollywood movies and in generally is quite basic when ...

Pros: subscription cost is low, interesting features
Cons: cover price is a bit high (if you don't subscribe), mostly Hollywood movies

Basics
Premiere magazine is a monthly movie magazine. The cover price is $3.50 US or you can subscribe for some savings. (I paid $11.97 for a year subscription). Each issue averages about 110 pages. The magazine has a fair amount of ads,...

Pros: A well-written magazine that isn’t choked with advertisements; has interesting features, an accessible, readable design,and it doesn’t place the celebrity above everything else
Cons: Tries to strike a truce between highbrow and mass-market fare; sometimes achieves neither.

I’m a magazine junkie who will read just about anything when I’m stuck on an airplane. I like magazines because you can love ‘em and leave ‘em, quick and guilt-free. My tastes tend toward entertainment-related mags like Entertainment Weekly, Vanity...

Pros: interesting features, few ads, low price
Cons: none

Since my one year subscription to Premiere is coming to an end, I decided that I should write a review. I recieved a free subscription to this magazine from a point/reward program. (Can't even remember which one.) So since I paid nothing for the...

Pros: Great insider information of the film industry.
Cons: Many shallow articles. Boring pictures.

Premiere magazine can probably best be described as Rolling Stone magazine for the movie industry. This is meant primarily as a compliment. Most articles are thin, but in each issue a half dozen or so are very in-depth, and often about a hard hitting...

Pros: Slick stories, Hollywood scoop, Libby Gelman-Waxner
Cons: Too many ads?, blow-ins?, whatever

Wow, my fellow epinionators seem to be all over the board about "Premiere" magazine, including one that doesn't know how to spell it and one who seems baffled as to how to order another magazine.

I'm a magazine buff (16 a month) and...

Pros: Good movie reviews
Cons: the ads I guess

Ok so it's true, I have a serious magazine addiction. It has since spread from fashion mags to this amazing movie mag (due to the fact that Mirabella has gone off the print). I wasn't quite sure what I was getting into picking Premiere Magazine due to...

Pros: entirely about the movies
Cons: same-o info

I have subscribed to Premiere since it began, I guess since 1989, and I just recently declined to renew my subscription. In 1989, all of this movie information was new and different--Premiere was type of magazine that I had never seen before. It was...

Pros: Informative filmmaking information
Cons: Could be a little less wordy in certain features

As a film lover, film buff, future filmmaker, I rely on certain tidbits of information, updates, etc. to be a well-rounded film person. Premiere Magazine is the perfect way to get your "fix", while learning a few tricks of the trade along the...

Pros: chance for free movie passes, some interesting articles
Cons: lack of focus

If you are lucky enough to live in or near one of the cities deemed “major” by distributor’s of upcoming movies (usually: New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and sometimes Atlanta) then as a subscriber to Premiere you occasionally have...

Pros: Strictly about the movie business
Cons: Who picks the cover?

There's Movieline, Entertainment Weekly, US and some other entertainment magazines, but Premiere is strictly about movies. Making movies. Actors, directors, producers of movies. Movieline likes to throw in a TV star and model to profile, but not...

Pros: thorough, revealing, solid journalism
Cons: conservative, a bit dull

Premiere is a big, glossy, pretty magazine that features all the successful movies and analyzes the failures.

Unlike Movieline, which takes a more arch and critical tone, Premiere is more of an industry standard type of endeavor. While it...

Pros: In depth engaging articles
Cons: Some articles are too technical

Premiere magazine is the best movie magazine for people who want in depth articles about every aspect of the industry. This magazine is perfect for the die hard film buff who wants to know everything. For a basic entertainment fan, it is probably a bit...

Pros: articles
Cons: smell

Premiere is on the opposite side of entertainment journalism than the more widely read Entertainment Weekly. It contains fascinating stories, not strained attempts at identifying Hollywood fads, and consistenly impressive photography, compared to...

Pros: Good variety of topics
Cons: Can't think of a specific

I've been a regular reader of Premiere for about 4 years now. I've found the magazine strong in content and light on fluff. I say that specifically because, I've read Movieline, and have been unimpressed using Premiere as the comparison.

I...
