Come on.  What's going on here?  Does this team live at the movie theater
and read books during intermisssion?  I must have read 15 articles 
that were extremely biased as well as one sided.  Secondly does anyone
who reads net.movies want book reviews?

I have placed my reply to this in net.flame (article <206@vax2.fluke.UUCP>).
I suggest any discussion on this posting is continued there, so as not to
disturb those who wish to read reviews, etc.

Yes, thankyou, at least one of us out here does enjoy book reviews when
they're related to film.

As to quantity: it's fortunate that there are contributors prepared to
invest the time in producing a regular and broad view movies.

As to quality: it is not only inevitable but essential that critique
be biased. So long as the bias is consistent it provides a yardstick
for the reader. These critiques are written with some respect for grammar
and language, and are certainly more controlled in their bias than the
casual flames and eulogies found in some other contributions.
