Every review should state if a movie is worth your time and cash.</p><p>In my opinion, everyone should use a site like rottentomatoes.com or mrqe.com to find a reviewer that has your tastes in film.  Maybe you're high-brow?  Maybe you think that Adam Sandler is an artistic genius?  These two site can help you find that critic that speaks your language and then return to their reviews for advice.</p><p>First best job ever?  Food critic.

I like it for a couple of reasons -- first, they TELL you why the rating and are more concerned about things like violence, which bother me (I could give a shit about bare boobs) -- a lot of parents use it because they're more explicit in discussing age-appropriateness. But also because the main reviewer has a super-dry sense of humor that cracks me up. And he's good at distinguishing brainless-but-fun from just plain brainless.</p><p>They do rate movies \"O\" -- morally offensive, and frequently I'm sure most Americans would disagree with that rating. But I find the review of the movie itself typically to be fair even when the movie is rated \"O\"; the reviews and ratings are kept fairly separate.</p><p>I use it a lot to find old movies I've never heard of when I'm looking for something to rent. Whoever does it has a fantastic mental catalog of classic movies.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(3605567, 'Eyebrows McGee (now with double the baby!)')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-3605736\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=7082\"><img        src=\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-7082-100x100.png\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=7082\">LeopardSeal</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2008/01/maxim-fires-peter-hammond-movie-critic-shill-extraordinaire.html#comment-3605736\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2008-01-08T20:55:48-05:00\">January  8, 2008  8:55 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(3605736);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=3605736');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p><p>@<a href=\"http://consumerist.com/342326/maxim-fires-peter-hammond-movie-critic-shill-extraordinaire#c3604446\" rel=\"nofollow\">cmdr.sass</a>: \"You'll be fired...

Hannibal Rising, the book, rules, along with the other 3 books in the series.  The only way to watch the movies is to watch them FIRST, THEN read the books.  I enjoyed Hannibal, but when I read the book afterwards, my joy became complete.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(3625788, 'banmojo')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>");
