Re: Forget Ebert

Believe it or not, there are actually "two" Eberts.

I get disillusioned with the weekly ratings Ebert give movies, but then I picked up his 100 best films book and was quite taken back by how different it feels. However, in there he admits that what he writes for his weekly audience is quite a bit different (in terms of standards) for what he writes in a book like this. Commercial sellout? Perhaps for his American-based newspaper, yes.

So...that doesn't mean you have to automatically like Ebert again, but I think there are two sides to him, one of which genuinely appreciates great filmmaking.
