I have a passionate love for GOOD music. I become and elitist asshole critic any time music is brought up in a conversation. I feel so strongly about music that I am willing to settle an argument about music with an old fashioned western gun fight. The way I look at it is there are two kinds of people in this world; those who like The Beatles and those who like The Monkees. Should you pick the latter I would like you to go ahead and find a way to remove yourself from my friends list so I don't have to do it myself.

I am getting a little off topic here. O.k. so I have this passionate love for music and I love hearing what critics such as Stephen Thomas Erlewhine think about music I love. I realized the other day that I like movies a lot too but I don't put too much thought into what critics think about movies. This lack of thought came into play last night when my friend and I were deciding which movie to rent off of Time Warner On Demand. We had narrowed it down to 3 movies; Dirty Harry, Blazing Saddles and Dog Day Afternoon. We had never seen these movies all the way through but we knew they were classics.

So, now on to how to settle this. Well we decided to check what the reviewers had to say. We looked on allmovie.com and noticed that all three movies recieved 5 stars, no help their. So, we decided to check rogerebert.com. He is the man to turn to. Mr. Ebert gave Dirty Harry 3/4, he gave Dog Day 3 1/2 /4 and he gave Blazing Saddles 4/4. So, it seemed an obvious choice. We watched Blazing Saddles. FREAKING TERRIBLE. It was not a good movie at all, mainly because every movie that came out after it ripped off everything this movie had to offer. This was a cotastrophie.

I decided later to look at some of Eberts other reviews. He apparently believes the first four Harry Potter movies are better than Dirty Harry; a classic. Now I love these movies and I think they are all 4/4 stars, but I didn't think Roger Ebert would feel the same. IDK, what do you think about that decision? What movie out of those initial three would you have watched? Thanks for reading!
