The Hollywoodland Revue

The Hollywoodland Revue is an independent publication devoted to exploring Hollywood past and present — chronicling the places, people, films, and stories that define Los Angeles’s entertainment legacy. Founded and edited by Hollywood historian Allan R. Ellenberger, the site began as a deep dive into cinema history, classic Hollywood, and cultural memory, with a particular emphasis on historic locations, overlooked figures, and long-form archival research.

Over time, The Hollywoodland Revue has expanded its mission to reflect Hollywood’s ongoing evolution. Alongside essays and investigations rooted in film history and preservation, the blog now also provides current coverage of contemporary film, television, streaming content, books, and food culture — including expertly written reviews, thoughtful commentary, and critical perspectives that bridge past and present.

 

While our historical emphasis remains at the heart of this publication, readers can also expect:

  • Film reviews that contextualize the latest theatrical and streaming releases within broader cinematic traditions.
  • Television and streaming coverage that evaluates the storytelling, craft, and cultural impact of today’s most talked-about series and miniseries.
  • Book reviews that highlight works on Hollywood, cinema, and the cultural forces around them.
  • Food reviews bringing attention to Los Angeles dining — particularly where culinary experiences intersect with entertainment culture and Hollywood history.
  • Breaking entertainment news and commentary, from award season analysis to industry trend pieces, blending informed critique with historical insight.
