Maltin is now in his thirtieth season with television’s Entertainment Tonight. Long before he became a familiar face on television, his annual paperback Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide established his reputation as a film expert. Leonard Maltin’s movie guide is the ultimate reference for movie buffs. And while Maltin’s guides have been in print since 1969, his comprehensive annual movie guide is more relevant than ever. With services like Netflix,...
