Movie Reviews 'R' Not Us

I don't go out to see enough new movies to ever do much reviewing in a timely fashion (typically I've only seen about 10% of the movies that are Oscar-nominated by the time I'm watching the Awards in March, for example). Part of the problem is that I think most movies aren't worth paying $25 (2 tickets, please) to see, even with a super large big screen to project them on, and of course the other part is that these days you have to contend with people taking cellphone calls, commercials you can't Mute, babies crying, and morons chatting loudly like they're in their living room, just to see a new release. For the big action- or SFX-dominated blockbusters, like Batman Begins, War of the Worlds, and possibly Casino Royale, I'll do it but otherwise I wait for the DVD.

However, someone who does go to see lots of new movies and writes great reviews of them, is just a click away. Check out her Top 10 of 2004 while we wait for her to put some newer content up on her blog. Even if you don't agree with everything she says (like me), you'll find much to agree with and lots to think about.
