...and his fluid writing style...Ebert is off his rocker half the time these days. He's written some daffily flattering reviews of many very bad commercial movies in the last few years.I don't pay any attention to either of them. I look for insight elsewhere and in more than one place.
Follow Ups:
yes, I look beyond Ebert too, especially now that Rotten Tomatoes has made it so convenient.I suppose I should sit down some day to do a proper statistical study to identify a subgroup of e-reviewers whose inclination correlates with mine. I had Ebert and James Berardinelli, but they are not as prolific as before.
...the Cinemarati forum (www.cinemarati.org). I also recommend metacritic.I tend to loosely follow certain writers: Mary Ann Johansen (flickfilosopher.com), David Poland (the Hot Button, Movie City News), Ken Turan (LA Times), Michael Wilmington (Chicago Trib), Jill Cozzi & ??? (damn, I forgot the site...find 'em through Cinemarati), the good folks at Salon.com. Anthony Lane at New Yorker...I guess I've given up on David Denby.
I'm comfortable in my own opinions. It's always interesting to get a new perspective though. I also read Sight & Sound.
