Maybe he was always a little bitter over not being sucessful in the industry himself, and maybe his taste just wasn't the same as most of us, and maybe those commercial critics got kickbacks for saying they like or don't like certain films, but Roger Ebert was a movie guy through and through and saying he was an idiot with no imagination is ridiculous.<br /> I love Eddie and the Cruisers, and many other films Ebert did not, and would always take his reviews with a grain of salt, but the man lived for movies.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510826611165455716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-65151885131062311092013-10-30T03:10:10.055-04:002013-10-30T03:10:10.055-04:00It really surprises me when anyone would listen cr...It really surprises me when anyone would listen critics like Ebert about any movie.

It really found an audience on home video and TV, which is nice to see. Despite this, you just don't see much written about the film or if you do, it is usually how much it sucks, etc.<br /><br />"But thanks J.D., I'm going to have "On The Dark Side" stuck in my head all day."<br /><br />heh! It's funny you mentioned that, I just downloaded the track off of iTunes.<br /><br /><br />Tommy Salami:<br /><br />Along with STREETS OF FIRE, this film is definitely Michael Pare's finest moment. It's a shame that both films bombed commercially. His career never seemed to recover from that. I'd be curious to know what you think of this film once you see it.<br /><br />Hailing from Jersey you should get a kick to all the references to Wildwood, Asbury Park and there's even a couple of scenes shot in Ocean City.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-6565678337217859792009-05-20T12:26:19.725-04:002009-05-20T12:26:19.725-04:00I popped this in the queue.
