Sorry, I don't always fully explain myself. I write film reviews myself, and having read a lot of them (esp. net critics with their own sites!), I've learned reading between the lines helps.
Me personally I always read the reviews of sites/papers with similar opinions to me. And not to start a flame war with anyone here, but I dislike the following:

1. "If you like..." Lazy.
2. Grading out of four stars, or half stars. half stars especially.
3. Tabloid newspaper reviews. You can always tell who paid them off.
4. Over-reaction (eg Use of excessive exclamation marks, "this sucks/rules/ dog doo metaphors for either or)
5. Anyone who defends the Hulk by saying the audience "didn't get it".

Sorry, personal rant over.
: Umm, if you were referring to me, I never said anything good or bad about Jersey girl, I was just letting everyone know what others were saying. I for one, think it is just downright rude. Not to mention uncalled for. I understand everyone is entitled totheir own opinion, but isn't this going a little too far?

:
: : It's like that board member that said David Beckham was playing badly when they sold him.
: : : Has anyone been to rottentomatoes.com? That's a shame, that they have so many bad things to say about Jersey girl! I for one, couldn't make it to the Stash bash 2 where Kevin showed a few spoiler clips or what not. From my understanding on this board it looks good. The only thing I read on rottentomatoes.com forum was that it was so abhorrent that it could almost be categorized as child pornography!

: : : Not to mention that the acting was so bad, that Jersey Girl Quote Unquote should be called Gigli part 2.
: : : That is way below the belt to say something like that about another's film! Just an FYI. If any of you are interested in the link it is at:
