Karma At The Movies

[It's true that what goes around comes around. A friend reviews my review of Ebert Presents at the Movies. The blog post title is mine but I promise I did not write what follows.]

Steve Anthony Presents Ebert Presents at the Movies
[Fridays; PBS. Check local listings.] A Review of a Television Review

It’s true; we can never go home again. But Steve Anthony manages to take us back in time to those days where there were only 3 channels to choose from and no one had heard of TIVO® or even a VCR! He presents a time when people actually went out to see movies regularly. Before pricing, television alternatives (Netflix® comes to mind) and busy lifestyles got in the way of a grand night out. At the movies.

I found his review of “Ebert Presents at the Movies” insightful, accurate, and complete. It certainly has this reviewer’s reviewer setting his DVR to make sure I don’t miss a minute! While there were some technical errors in grammatical structure with Steve’s review, and some word choice that seemed inappropriate for the intended audience (I don’t think the average person would use a word like “apropos” for example), his review took me across the years and back in time. Many people can remember and relate to “Sneak Previews”, and the path that Ebert and Siskel pioneered. I personally remembered how sad I was to learn of Gene Siskel’s passing.

Steve’s review is a discovery process. Complete in historical fact, engaging dialog, and intriguing comparisons. The new hosts seem very intelligent and informative, and I’m looking forward to continuing my movie discovery process with their reviews in the forefront of my mind. I enjoyed Steve’s review extremely, and would highly recommend any further reviews he chooses to publish as “required reading”. Steve did his homework well, and produced a review that was compelling, and will not soon be forgotten. Thank you, Steve. I cherish those memories. And look forward to evening adventures! At the movies.

Steve’s review earns 5 out of 5 Stars! ☼☼☼☼☼
