Ben Who?
There's now doubt in my mind that Ben Lyons has never bothered to do the due diligence that anyone calling themselves a film critic should do--that is, watch the top 100 films of all time before even thinking about setting out to watch 300 movies a year in order to share an opinion about the relevancy of a cinematic turd like "Miracle at St. Anna." At 26-years-old, with his toothpaste ad smile, Ben Lyons is a poseur--nothing more, nothing less. Sure it bugs the shite out of anyone who's ever read a well-written film review to see this punk inarticulately talking out the side of his neck about the quality of a movie, but it's inconsequential.
And by the way Ben: "You ain't no punk you punk, you wanna talk about the real junk?" "Now do you understand? Do you understand?" (Courtesy of The CRAMPS)
The point is that the kid doesn't hold a candle to Roger Ebert and never will. Ben Lyons is the Sarah Palin of film criticism. So what?

"Elvis Mitchell: Under the Influence" Rocks!
In case you didn't get the memo, "Elvis Mitchell: Under the Inluence" rocks!
One of my best kept secrets is tuning into TCM, not only to visit classic films, but to check out Elvis Mitchell's super cool show "Elvis Mitchell: Under the Influence." Not only is Elvis a snappy dresser and a nice person you'd like to share a beer with, but he's by far the best interviewer in the biz. The fact that he he told the New York Times to take their job and shove it when they tried to screw him over just goes to prove that he's a badass that walks the walk. Rumor has it that some Sony Pitcures publicists prevented him from screening "Quantum of Solace" a few weeks ago in favor of letting in a slew of unpaid dilettante junketeers. Don't get me started on Sony's latest new hire amateur publicist. It's thier loss since they haven't done their homework on Mitchell.
If you haven't checked out "Elvis Mitchell: Under the Influence," by all means do so. You will not be disappointed. Tell your friends I told you so.
