I particularly appreciated your good values and your willingness to appreciate a film even when it was not a great film but one that promoted social justice or the respectful treatment of others. <BR/>Happy New Year, and enjoy your well-deserved new blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-1167260308274266452006-12-27T17:58:00.000-05:002006-12-27T17:58:00.000-05:00I believe you used to work for The Philadelphia Da...I believe you used to work for The Philadelphia Daily News, right? I, for one, always appreciated your intelligent reviews of the movies, your understanding of the history of movies, your sociaol conscousness and pro-human analysis and your ability to bring the story into a wider world are truely gifts.

As well as Guillermo Del Toro's extremely dark and creative fairy tale PAN'S LAYRINTH.<BR/><BR/>I've been reading quite a bit about Army of Shadows and Volver and plan to take a look! :)Patrickmcqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07358389241053983203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-1167049872511594262006-12-25T07:31:00.000-05:002006-12-25T07:31:00.000-05:00Interesting list -- "Babel" and "Crank" together! ...Interesting list -- "Babel" and "Crank" together!

With Roger Ebert, yours was the voice of reasoned analysis and informed criticism that I came to trust and rely on.
