Ok, I need a recommendation. For years, my sole source of quality film reviews was Roger Ebert. On roughly 90% of his reviews I agreed with. I always appreciated the fact that he knew what the film was trying to be. If it was a summer film whose purpose was simply to entertain, he respected that and he didn’t pan movies because they weren’t up to artistic snuff. The only movie he reviewed negatively which I thought was great was Usual Suspects. I appreciated his candor and respected his opinion.
Since he became ill, he has basically stopped reviewing films. I hope he continues on the road to recovery and makes it back. In the mean time (and future) I need to find another film critic who I can respect his or her opinion when making movie night decisions. Any thoughts?

I’d try Robert Ebert’s reviews. =)
He’s posted some new reviews, starting 2 weeks ago, though Shrek is the only blockbuster so far.
This weekend for me is all about Knocked Up! Yay!
Still, there has to be other well respected film critics out there who have a similar disposition.
