Your Movie Sucks
"Schneider retaliated by attacking Goldstein in full-page ads in Daily Variety and the Hollywood Reporter. In an open letter to Goldstein, Schneider wrote: 'Well, Mr. Goldstein, I decided to do some research to find out what awards you have won. I went online and found that you have won nothing. Absolutely nothing. No journalistic awards of any kind. . . . Maybe you didn't win a Pulitzer Prize because they haven't invented a category for Best Third-Rate, Unfunny Pompous Reporter Who's Never Been Acknowledged by His Peers. . . .'
"Schneider was nominated for a 2000 Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actor, but lost to Jar-Jar Binks. But Schneider is correct, and Patrick Goldstein has not yet won a Pulitzer Prize. Therefore, Goldstein is not qualified to complain that Columbia financed Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo while passing on the opportunity to participate in Million Dollar Baby, Ray, The Aviator, Sideways, and Finding Neverland. As chance would have it, I have won the Pulitzer Prize, and so I am qualified. Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks."

Ebert Defines Wit
"I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie" has been a perennial favorite book of mine for years. "Your Movie Sucks" is in the same genre, and is as witty as Ebert has ever been. The book is essentially a collection of sub-two star reviews from the last...

Ebert Rocks
If you like Ebert's reviews and usually agree with what he thinks, then you may like this book too. It won't give you a lot of insight into what makes great cinema, but at least you will be entertained while reading what makes absolutely lousy...

Educational, witty, scathing but always with warmth and hope
I rarely see a movie in a theater without first researching the film online. Roger Ebert is not the only critic I read, but certainly my favorite and the one I trust the most. His views often match my own, though occasionally I went to see and...

Ebert saves you from the baddies!
The reading of Ebert's reviews is even more fun with these truly awful movies. Writing these essays could not have been a joy for someone who loves film so much. Clearly, after suffering through these terrible films, he exorcised the demons by...

The title says it all
Roger Ebert, movie critic extraordinaire, is a legend in his own time -- the Dorothy Parker of his age. And, while this isn't his first published collection of reviews, "Your Movie Sucks" certainly has the best title.

His reviews rock
The first time I read the review for Schiender's deuce bigalow , I almost fell of my chair and re-read it so many times and everytime it was equally funny. As incisive and observant are ebert's reviews for good movies, his reviews for mediocre...

Love him or hate him, I must admit that the man can write!
It used to be true that a "thumbs down" review for a particular movie by Siskel and Ebert was enough to make me want to see it. And often enough I would enjoy a movie for the very reasons that Ebert hated it, or it would seem to me that he simply...

I Love Love Love these books
For years I've wondered if Roger Ebert was going to release another collection of reviews of movies he hated hated hated. Along came "Your Movie Sucks". Ebert has always said that he'd rather enjoy a movie than not enjoy it. "Your Movie Sucks" is...
