The on-hiatus blogger whose site has recently been overrun in a decidedly Parisian fashion didn’t like my links to Ain’t It Cool News’ reviews of Jarhead. Jeff e-mails:

Somewhere out there, in the vast darkness that is the Internet, there must be somebody who’s worse at writing movie reviews that Harry Knowles. I accept this fact as an article of faith, because I’ve never seen a worse review that didn’t have his byline on it, and if I did I’m not confident that I’d survive the experience.

Roger Ebert, on the other hand, is a good writer. He says in one sentence what it took Harry Knowles ten rambling paragraphs to get around to: “Jarhead is a war movie that rises above the war and tells a soldier’s story.”

Ebert’s podcast is also well worth a weekly listen.
