Best movie review site

I am getting fed up with the old rottentomatoes and metacritic sites. Anyone else have any other suggestions?

the best reviews you can get are from your friends IMO. Most likely yall share the same sense of humor and like the same types of movies.
rotten tomatoes sucks balls.

Not really my friends are into comedies and I can't really stand them that much. I am more into drama/action. FWIW they are also closet Communists.

Rottentomatoes has an option to choose a list of your favorite critics. It takes time figure out which critics mirror your personal reviews. Of course, I have never taken the time to do this.

Between the 2 of them they must regularly post reviews from over 100 critics ranging from semi-retard to highly literate. What are you looking for that they don't have?

Flixster agrees with me most of the time

Someone who can post non-liberal bs in their reviews.

My favorite reviewer is Stephanie Zacharek of Salon. But if you don't like liberal BS, you shouldn't read her, or Salon.
She's usually out of step with her reviews (then again, so am I), but I love her reasoning and I find her reviews to be interesting. And I love reading her review after I've seen a movie, since the argument is already set up. I find myself addressing her points in my head. That's the mark of a great movie columnist. No one can mimic taste, but she can set up the argument of why it is worth your time.

I'm honestly not even sure what you mean by this.

Easily my favorite critic. I also like the Onion A.V. Club's reviews too.

Well, I'll assume that when you say you want "someone who can post non-liberal bs in their reviews" you aren't actually looking for non-liberal bs. But are you saying Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic only offer reviews from left-leaning publications, or that critics who work for said publications never watch or write about movies unless it's through some kind of Marxist lens? Neither is true.

While very indy oriented, I've always liked Film Threat.
And for a more conservative viewpoint, try Christian Spotlight on Entertainment. Their review of Saw V (yes, you heard that right) is quite insightful.
