This is a show I watched ever since it was called Sneak Previews on PBS. That's a long time. I watched the struggles with hosts after Gene Siskel left due to cancer and then after Ebert left, also due to cancer. With the 2 current hosts, I thought it had settled into a good groove again. I particularly like A.O. Scott and read him in the NY Times.
I always just enjoyed the short update on what had just come out, with the clips and then the reviews. In recent years, the reviewers were not very reliable to me, but these current two are worthwhile and quite dependable.
I will miss that half hour each week. Yes, I can go to rotten tomatoes, but it's not the same.

When they reformatted ATM last year for the ADD crowd with a gaggle of no-names far too young be credible with much of the audience, they lost me then and there. I tuned in a few weeks ago by chance and saw they put Scott and whatsisname back in, but it was too late. Too bad. The habit was broken. The output from H-wood in recent years gives mediocrity a good name and doesn't rate 30 minutes of my time each week to keep up with the latest urinal and fart epic.

but I still wanted to see what was coming out week to week. When the new team came in last fall, I was an intermittent viewer. But they are really very good. If you are not interested in the latest week to week releases, so be it, but I like to go to movie theaters still, and do so often, so it is always of interest to me what the best choices out there might be.
Today, it was Greenberg, and to tell the truth, I think I'd have done better with the "urinal and fart" Hot Tub Time Machine.
I think the internet replaced them, sad really...
thanks
