Why I think Roger Ebert needs to find a new job

Now this isn't typically what on do on this site but I decided that I would post a rant about why I don't think Roger Ebert is qualified as a critic.

Ahhh yes Roger Ebert, review columnist for the Chicago Sun Times and reviewer on the popular show Ebert and Roeper formerly Siskel and Ebert. I have not liked Mr. Ebert for some time now and I will now tell you why I don't like him or his reviews.

First off he doesn't like movies that have any type of meaning, he likes the quick fixes of action and stuff. He did not like a movie like the Village(see my review below) but he gave very high reviews to crappy movies such as Tomb Raider and the Cradle of Life. My next point is he is biased towards some actor/actresses so he gives other wise crappy movies a thumbs up. He has a huge crush on Angelina Jolie and he has said this many times on the show thus he gives a crappy movie like Tomb Raider 2 a thumbs up yet good movies like the Village get the boot. I just don't know how this man keeps his job after he gave Garfield A THUMBS UP!!! I don't know waht this man was thinking but he gave it a thumbs up. I was shocked to find out that he gave Chronicles of Riddick a thumbs down conisidering that is the type of movie that is right up his alley.

In conclusion the main point of this is Ebert sucks and Roeper is awesome. Roeper can at least identify a crappy movie when he sees it. Sometimes I sit and watch At the Movies and wish it was Siskel and Roeper but I am not so lucky......
