A magazine is a periodical publication containing a variety of articles, generally financed by advertising and/or purchase by readers.

Magazines are typically published weekly, biweekly, monthly, bimonthly or quarterly, with a date on the cover that is in advance of the date it is actually published. They are often printed in color on coated paper, and are bound with a soft cover.

Magazines fall into two broad categories: consumer magazines and business magazines. In practice, magazines are a subset of serials, periodicals and journals, distinct from those periodicals produced by scientific, artistic, academic or special interest publishers which are subscription-only, more expensive, narrowly limited in circulation, and often have little or no advertising.

Mamma Mia! The Movie
Film Reviews: "Take a Chance on Me" may be one of its most celebrated songs, but little risk is actually involved in "Mamma Mia! The Movie," a predictably glossy screen adaptation of the Abba-scored musical.
The End of Year (Yi nian dao tou)
Film Reviews: The lives of a foreman, a doctor and a high school prof touch tangentially during the frantic run-up to Chinese New Year in "The End of Year," a wry multicharacter ensembler that builds into an involving, very human portrait of everyday life in contempo Beijing.
Ten Empty 
Film Reviews: Centered on the fractious relationship of a boozy father and the son he hasn't seen for a decade, "Ten Empty" is a bleak encounter with emotionally dysfunctional suburban Aussie males.
End of the Rainbow
Film Reviews: Observational docu "End of the Rainbow" puts the human factor first and lets viewers draw their own conclusions about big-picture politics as it charts the establishment of a multinational gold mine in a remote part of Guinea.
Memorial Day
Film Reviews: More a provocation than a fully realized film, "Memorial Day," New York experimental theater director Josh Fox's feature debut, strives for a bold connection between spring-break party excess and Abu Ghraib.
Finally, Lillian and Dan
Film Reviews: The awkward pushes and pulls between two lonelyhearts are patiently registered in Mike Gibisser's quiet and furtive "Finally, Lillian and Dan."
