Secondly does anyone > who reads net.movies want book reviews? Yes, thankyou, at least one of us out here does enjoy book reviews when they're related to film. As to quantity: it's fortunate that there are contributors prepared to invest the time in producing a regular and broad view movies. As to quality: it is not only inevitable but essential that critique be biased. So long as the bias is consistent it provides a yardstick for the reader. These critiques are written with some respect for grammar and language, and are certainly more controlled in their bias than the casual flames and eulogies found in some other contributions.
