I spent a lot of time in San Diego a few years ago and read the Reader every week. And he is a good reviewer- however if you restrict yourself to movies he likes, you won't see many movies.

I enjoy Duncan's reviews as well. I was one of his students at UCSD. -Sam
"...you won't see many movies." Disagree! If you look at the historical list the site provides, you'll find HUNDREDS of movies recommended. Only trouble is, many of 'em aren't even available on VHS! Anyway what's wrong with not seeing crappy movies?clark
Yes, there is a long list of movies with stars. Even in the current movie list, he gave a few stars. The crux of the matter is that, eloquent as he is and as seriously as he does take movies as art, I do not always share his opinions. For example, Ghost World is given 4 stars while Waking Life gets a dot. I enjoyed Ghost World, found it quite charming, but for me, Waking Life was clearly much more ambitious, thought-provoking and interesting, and it is the one I am sure to see again, not Ghost World.
