Now that I use Netflix and imdb, however, I've not consulted the paperback version in years. It went out to Goodwill during last month's basement clean-up, as a matter of fact. I'm sure there are those who want to browse the aisles at a video store, and for that group, it's nice to have an on-board collection with a consistent voice, whether you agree with the reviews or not. As with any critic, you soon learn where you differ and where you agree. In this age of $40 1-gb SD cards, space is no longer the problem with large databases that it once was, either, so plopping those files there and having the engine in your device seems trivial. But $20 for a program and a static collection of reviews seems to be way too much for me, especially if it costs 75% of the original price to add 2% more content.
