	Yes, the "new" Sneak Previews has very little of the charm of the
Siskal-Ebert version. I think that of their problems is that both of the
reviewers are TV movie critics rather than newspaper movie critics.
	Another problem is that they don't have the charisma of Siskal and
Ebert. Siskal had a clear personality of a critic who valued artistic
quality, while Ebert had an opinion of a movie which directly correlated
to how much fun he had watching it. Neither of the two new guys have any
clear cut personalities (except that they both LOOK wimpy).
	Personally, I try not to watch Sneak Previews any more. It depresses
me. However, I do watch "At the Movies" each week.
				Siskal and Ebert forever!
