THE BEST MOVIE REVIEWS AROUND; IF NOT NECESSARILY THE MOST ACCURATEBy GeValeroMuch thinner than past editions but the quailty of this yearbook is just the same. If you buy this book on a yearly basis; as I do; you wont miss anything but the constant repeating of the same reviews on different editions.Is Roger Ebert the best movie reviewer around ? In my opinion hes probably not the most "accurate" as he gives out four stars as if they were candy but; he certainly makes the best reading. At any rate; with time Ive learned to ignore his star system and get an idea of what any movie is like by actually reading his reviews.Anyway; this is first rate stuff that one can only hope will continue for many years.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. 10 reviews outta 10By MovieskinnyBest movie reviewer ever.
