Critics are a whole topic of their own. I haven't found one yet whose tastes match mine. Some movies they like, I hate, and vicey versey. Owen Glieberman and Lisa Schwarzbaum (sp.?) of Entertainment Weekly are pretty good barometers for me. As is A.O. Scott of the NY Times. But it's really a crapshoot. I tend to trust directors and actors more.

The last great movie I watched? The Criterion edition of "Seven Samurai".

And if you want a good time, "Slap Shot". "Just putting on the foil, coach."
