    Ebert might be the most recognizable American critic, and he's still an amazing writer, but his tastes since his illness have veered toward the......schmaltzy.

    He's always liked schmaltz, doesn't a thing to do with his illness.

    Well, my tastes haven't always lined up that closely with Ebert, but I always find his reviews extremely valuable in determining whether or not I'm likely to enjoy the film in question.

    Both of the Schmoes Know both gave Anna Karenina a positive rating. So two more fresh reviews should be added soon.

    It's possible I just started noticing it then? I feel like he used to be more discerning whereas now anything can get him going.

    He's always been known for liking everything. He's infamously the person keeping Speed 2 from a 0% on RT. Of course he's still a great writer and probably Americas most beloved crititc. Even if I disagree with his opinion, I still find his insightful. Except for Video Games which he HATES!

    Lol, I'm only 25 years younger than Erik, how depressed can that make him?

    And I think I sorta know who Smiley is but I'm not too familiar with him. But hey, that's what the internet is for.

    Thumbs down

    So far reviews have not improved as some of the fans were expecting/hoping they would. Still at 65% on Rottentomatoes (33% with top critics) and has dropped to 59% on Metacritic. I think I am going to finally drop her from my predictions. Perhaps an actress with a better award history could make it in with such film reviews, but I don't think Keira is there just yet.
