We understand gossip about a celebrity's life, scandal, but zilch about the vehicles that make them famous. If this is the case, then I think a partial reason is a lack of good film magazines in this country, and a dearth of good movie books. That's what some domestic workers earn in a month. Two magazines are readily available on book shop shelves, Empire and Premiere, and at around R50 they're not cheap. Premiere's useful if you want to know about what's happening in Hollywood, all about their power struggles, the new stars and so on, but that cuts out moviemaking in the rest of the world.
Empire seems to have become obsessed with lists.
I don't mind lists, but I don't see the point of them. So what if you think Citizen Kane the best movie ever made with Casablanca next on the list. That tells me zero about the film, about why it should be on the list. I'd be more interested in reading on what the film's about, about what makes it so special and different compared to, say, a movie like The Tree Of Wooden Clogs. Lists are boring, and deceptive.
