Movie Critic Roger Ebert Shopping New Movie Review Show
“We [Ebert & Wife] believe a market still exists for a weekly show where a couple of critics review new movies,” wrote the longtime Chicago Sun-Times critic Roger Ebert on his blog.
In Film school my professor would say, "Those who can't do, review". I would LOVE to see a former Movie Director (Successful) as a critic and voice of experience. Many decisions are driven by economics and financial obligation, not necessarily because of cohesion of a story line.
Moreover, would I want to listen to someone's over analysis of Alien vs. Predator? Depends. I tend to appreciate reviews made by FRIENDS, not so much opinions offered by critics (Which never seem to harmoniously coincide with the general population of movie audiences).
So, if there were indeed to be another film-review show on TV, I might suggest a few concessions (The last show was a little more for the 50 year plus crowd), but we have followed and subsequently unfollowed @ebertchicago once or twice...There was brief mention of this idea, but who is really taking updates on Twitter seriously?
