I registered a domain and will be putting up a site called kidsfilmcritic.com. As soon as I get around to it. Those udders will be getting a bashing.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
It's actually a little scary how often I completely agree with Ebert.
Ebert has always been my film critic of choice, and not just because he's my home town boy. I find that even if I disagree with him, he descirbes his viewing experience in such a way that I know if I'll like a movie he did not.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Go Cash!

Exactly.
Cash, that sounds great. There need to be more children's film review sites that do more than count cuss words or anything else the wee ones need to be sheltered from.

IGN asked James McAvoy about the Hobbit and he doesn't say that he wouldn't do it - but, of course, he hasn't been offered the part AND they don't even have a script yet.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I've always liked Ebert's reviews, especially after reading his article on The Hidden, which is one of my all-time favorite smash-em-up action/SF flicks, and which Roger also appreciated. He gave it 3 stars and called it "a surprisingly effective film," as well as "a sleeper that talks like a thriller and walks like a thriller, but has more brains than the average thriller."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So The Happening happened, huh? How'd it go over?
