Unreliable
I've been a subscriber of Cinescape off and on since it was first released sometime in the mid 1990's. It was a good magazine, never great, but good. I renewed the subscription back in March of 2003 when they overhauled the format of the magazine. I'm also under the impression that a new publisher owns it. At first I thought the new format was nice, but after a few issues I took notice how shallow the magazine is. To make matters worse, the magazine never shows up on time. They don't seem to have any sort of set publication schedule either. One issue will be printed as bi-monthly, and another will show it to be monthly. Customer service is abysmal as well. The website quality is also down. I will not resubscibe, and I do not recomend this magazine.

THEY HAVE CHANGED
Magazine delivery is unreliable as stated. They have no set publication time frame, it's on a "when we feel like it" basis. I have a long time subscription and when calling to do an address change, the rep. couldn't even give me a date for the release and delivery of the next magazine. The new "owners" of this magazine have lowered the quality and customer service. Another wonderful side effect of the "when we feel like it" approach, is most of the articles that are listed as sneak previews are on movies that have been in the theatre for 3-4 weeks. Beware, you might be better off with SciFi, CFQ, Premiere, or Widescreen Review.

They've changed
About a year ago they changed publishers or something like that, at least according to thier customer sevice. Since then, they do not have reliable service. I renewed my subscription in February 2003, and since I rarely ever get an issue, I still have 8 issues left on my current subscription!

Not only has the reliablility of getting an issue on time changed, so did their format. I find the new format to be boring and unoriginal.

I long for the dyas of the 'old' Cinescape.

The best source for genre lovers
I absolutely love this magazine! It is the best source for news on future movie releases, becuse of Cinescape I knew about the Spider-Man and Lord of the Rings movies several years in advance. If you like sci-fi and fantasy movies, books, or comics this is the magazine for you.

Information-Age "Movie Star" Tabloid
Cinescape delivers what Hollywood believes fans to long for: Tabloid "news" about film-makers and the current creme de la creme of Hollywood mega-stars, stars and wanna-be's. Filled with some dishy facts, but also defty servings of plain gossip, much of it made up or embellished. -- If you want just the facts, Ma'am, then this publication is not quite your ticket. The New York Times will give you the true stories (sans Joan Rivers style trashy dirt). An ok pass time while waiting for your turn at the barber shop, this is not the kind of "coffee table lecture" fit to serve visitors, much less to "enjoy" issue after issue.*** ... Read more

On it's last leg :(
Once the bible for film collectors when it was issued by Don Key, now it's a thinning publication with what seems like less film available in every issue :(
Ebay and other websites seem to have taken away many long time advertisers. I've let my subscription run out (like many others) and I have no plans to renew my subscription.
If your looking for great film titles, the guys who pay extra for next day delivery snag everything weeks before you even get to open the front cover. Rest in Peace Big Reel ... Read more

A great mag for poster collectors
Not really a magazine, more like a tabloid paper, this once a month publication has long been regarded as "the bible" for movie poster collectors, buyers and sellers. An honest and famly run operation gives it a real personal feel. Always lots of ads for movie posters in it - although not like the "good old days" (before the internet). I read mine cover to cover when it arrives. ... Read more
