Me.
As of today, in addition to my other duties there, I'm also on (for a trial period) as the movie reviewer for the Copperas Cove (TX) Leader-Press newspaper. www.coveleaderpress.com/
My first review (of "Captain Phillips") was published in the 14 October 2013 issue (which will likely be online in a few days for online subscribers).

I would make an absolutely horrible review. I find I like most movies, no matter how bad they are. Primarily because I'm not trying to poke holes in the plots or dissect the dialog and special effect. I just want to see and be entertained for 2 hours.

The only "poster" I've gotten to-date was a "Mr. Peabody" give-away that had games and puzzles on the back.

See i do too,
BUT I can still thoroughly enjoy a movie despite its faults (matrix trilogy, star wars prequels (yes, even phantom menace), and Iron Man (yes, even 2).
I especially pick a part comic movies.
Ex. Star Wars- Darth Vader/Anakin: Had the Jedi a) not banned marriages (of which I'm certain at least Yoda knew of) and b) offered more psychological support instead of an unhelpful "learn to let go". Basically, the so called defenders of the galaxy had terrible personal care policies.

My big thing is that I have to sit in the theater for anywhere from 90 - 140+ minutes in order to see whatever the movie of the week is in full.
Given the seats and the air conditioning (which always seems to be a full 10 - 15 degrees lower than the ambient air temperature), this isn't entirely pleasant for my bladder.

I quit doing that after only the second or third film.
