4.0 out of 5 stars
The best, the worst, and everything else.,
By Alex (College Park, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Roger Ebert's Movie Yearbook 2001 (Paperback)
I was a little surprised to find Ebert's writing slightly rough and disorganized. Bits of plot, comments on whether or not the actors fit the parts, and moments of amazing lucidity occur in the reviews in no specific order. Nevertheless, the conversational tone works and the reviews flow well. This guide to recent movies is as good as any, and probably better, since it includes reviews for movie festival entries, foreign films, and more. The guide also includes several indexes of movies and actors, and most (if not all) Answerman entries.It isn't true that Roger Ebert is completely unbiased, and most of the entertainment (if any) derived from reading this installation in the yearly series will come from looking for his unique, personal stance on the art of moviemaking. Most action flicks, sordid teen dramas, dead-end forbidden romances, and a great many others are viciously shot down and trampled upon. On the other hand, fairly innocuous and endearing movies, especially if they are foreign-made, are gently supported like top-heavy saplings. Oh, and do watch out for Ebert's take on "Pokemon: the Movie". It's absolutely hilarious.

Ebert at his best,
This review is from: Roger Ebert's Movie Yearbook 2001 (Paperback)
This thick book contains all of Ebert's reviews of movies released in the past year, as well as his weekly articles and his notes from attending film festivals such as Cannes. If you're a movie fan and would like a book to refer to when choosing videos, or want some scoop on the various festivals around the world, Ebert's yearbook (updated annually) should be what you need.
