Critics

I don't trust my friends, I read online on the sites I know will openly honest. Destructoid, Flixist, Screenjabber, Platform Nation for games and film reviews.

I sometimes read Ebert and listen to Kermode but I don't always agree with them 100% of the time. I guess 'honest' means the one who hasn't been paid to review it lightly or it perhaps means whoever agrees with you. Ebert and Siske's olde reviews are always good material for when I'm watching something older but for Kermode, I find myself agreeing with him on a lot of films nowadays.

Games journalism is in dire condition at the moment so there's little people you can trust. You can trust me and the Jabber crew on that one though.

This is a good thread to tell you all to read Screenjabber.

So about 50 films a week at the very least..?

Believe it or not, 50 don't come out.

Just basing my post on HERE

Was referring to the releases that actually get PR companies behind them and hence work with us.

I use Amazon or IMDB reviews but not professional critics.

I sometimes do. Not all the time.
