...the claptrap of The Last Samurai and The Siege.If I was dying to see it a review wouldn't stop me (I did, after all, see "Fur", mainly for Robert Downey Jr's performance).
But Ty Burr is a thoughtful reviewer, one who actually merits the the moniker "critic" and what he has to say is usually worth reading. My local critic I pay no attention to whatever, BTW.

I used to review music and movies for a living years ago.Quite important to leave your personal baggage at the door - at least as much as you are able - so you can hear with fresh ears and see with fresh eyes. I got about as good at it as one can be. I WANT to like a movie when I walk into the auditorium. I want it - whatevever its leverl - to be "good". I form my own opinions - lack thereof has never been a problem with me - au contraire!
However, in this day and age when movies are quite expensive and much else is competing for attention (not to mention our dollars) I don't think it is a mistake to use a respected critic(s) to help one sort through the plethora of films on a holiday season weekend.
