I might as well put in my $.02 in response to the flaming going on here.
For what it's worth, I like the new guys on Sneak Previews (maybe they're
not so new anymore).  I find both Jeffry Lyons and Neil Gabler entertaining
and very amuseing.  I also find their movie reviews to be about as helpful
as anyone elses when I'm trying to decide if I want to see a certain film
or not.  But then, I take all reviews with a grain of salt and never forget
that a review is, after all, just one more persons opinion.

I also watch "At the Movies", Siskel and Eberts show, and I like it too.
But I wouldn't say that they were any better or any worse than anyone else.
But then I've never been taken by the mystic that seems to surrond Siskel
and Ebert.  I'm really setting myself up here, but after watching both shows
for the past 3 or 4 months I think I enjoy watching "Sneak Previews" more
than "At the Movies".  In the beginning Lyons and Gabler were awkward and
seemed unsure of themselves, but theyv
e gotten better as the season has progressed.

All of this is just my opinion and I'm sure a lot of people out there disagree
with me.  So what.  Aren't we all entitled to our own point of view.

(P.S.)	I watched both shows this past weekend and was very amused that the
	movie "Personal Best" was considerd one of the 10 worst by the
	Sneak Previews gang, but made the 10 best list of the "At the Movies"
	crew.
