May 22, 2007 – If you've never read an issue of Cinema Retro, subscribe now! Especially if you're a fan of the greatest era of filmmaking – the '60 and '70s. The slickly produced magazine, self-proclaimed as "The Essential Guide to Movies of the '60 & '70s," is stuffed to the gills with exclusive interviews and impassioned tributes that pay worthy homage to what many film lovers - this author included - consider the 2nd golden age of cinema.
The nostalgic run down memory lane begins not with the first article or interview, but rather with the glossy cover and high-quality production of the publication itself. Published in Dorset, England, the magazine indeed – as its title suggests - feels more like a movie guide or even a fanboy collector's piece than it does a hobby rag. And this more than compensates for the mag's $12 per issue cost - based on an annual subscription - that delivers 3 issues per year right to your doorstep.
Upon cracking open your first issue, some of the surprises you'll notice are the rare celebrity photos, forgotten movie stills and reminiscent movie posters that accompany the articles. And speaking of articles, we're not talking USA Today-sized mini capsulettes. For example, a recent special tribute by director/author Mike Siegel, that appears in Volume 3; Issue 8 entitled All the Grass Was Real - The Making of Easy Rider, spans no fewer than 10 pages and includes a whopping 44 precious photos from the 1969 film the author credits with launching the era of the New Hollywood. And another thing - you won't be beaten down by page after page of industry advertisements. Of the 62 pages in the most recent issue, only two contain ads!
So, if you dug what Rodriguez and Tarantino accomplished with their recent double feature, Grindhouse. And if saucy space vixens and retro spy thrillers are right up your alley, then check out Cinema Retro The Essential Guide to Movies of the '60 & '70s. But be forewarned! It's an addictive experience that unfortunately can only be satiated 3 times per year. So, to get your fix in between the beefy print issues, you can visit the magazine's web site at www.cinemaretro.com that also contains loads of original content and exclusive interviews, most of which are too plentiful to be included in the print edition.
