NEW EBERT BOOK
HOW MANY WAYS CAN YOU SAY BAD FLICK?
Sometimes a stinker of a film can yield a more entertaining review than a winner. The Advertiser's primary film reviewer, Roger Ebert, follows up his "I Hated Hated Hated This Movie" with the new "Your Movie Sucks," a roundup of his most scorching reviews since 2000. Ebert sees the bad in all kinds of movies, whether highbrow or low. From Keanu Reeves' saccharine "Sweet November" to the French sexism subverter "Baise-moi," Ebert sticks it to 'em. About "Pearl Harbor" he wrote: "The filmmakers seem to have aimed the film at an audience that may not have heard of Pearl Harbor or perhaps even of World War II." Handy for knowing what not to get when you're cruising Netflix.

FINAL WORD
"Some audiences have to come to you. You can't cater to everybody. Kanye West's record is aimed at a straight pop audience. It may work for him now, but I don't believe that will exist long. That base has no loyalty."
