Movie Reviews, Showtimes and Trailers – Movies – New York Times – The New York Times
http://movies2.nytimes.com/2007/01/13/movies/13prim.html My love for NY Times movie writer A.O. Scott knows no bounds. His reviews are always a joy to read, but seldom more so than when he really, really dislikes a movie. The Times reviewers even infuse fun into the parental advisory note.

Here, a first-class jerk evangelical seems to have been leading a double life as a wanton, closeted sex-and-meth addict.
