He's a decent reviewer. His 2015 guide was the final print edition. I've still got it.
I bought his guide every other year for tv side readings. It's not that I had to agree with all his reviews to enjoy his work (1.5/4 for Blade Runner & 2/4 The Dark Knight for example), it's much like Ebert that I grew to know & appreciate his baseline.
His only perfect 4/4 review to boggle the mind was Curious Case of Benjamin Button... that film has been lost to the abyss, no one ever talks of it. I thought it was mediocre at best.
Without his guide book, I'd probably think him just another reviewer in the wilderness.
