I don't know from good movies....apparently.

No, you're not crazy. Don't let The Man tell you what to think!

Ebert doesn't usually fail me but sometimes he tends to give a bad movie some praise or a movie I enjoyed a good slamming.

I don't base what I see or my opinions off reviews anymore, I simply go watch it and decide for myself. If it sucks at least I have a lesson in how not to make a film.

To me, he lost all his integrity when he gave a good review to Fast and the Furious, AND its sequal.

I liked the sequel to Fast and The Furious. I just read the review Ebert gave the movie, and while you can very easily disagree with his opinion on the movie, he did give his reasons for liking it, and they were good reasons.

As long as a reviewer gives good reasons for their opinion, I could care less what they say. If they didn't like a movie I loved or vice versa, it doesn't bother me. There are some instances, like Warhorse mentioned in The Ring, where they didn't understand the movie so couldn't give it a proper review. So in conclusion, **** em'.
