Wow, this is very pretty. Members-only section feels hokey, I don't like it. Otherwise great.
I feel stupid saying this because it seems unreasonable of me to believe. But I feel that I won't enjoy movies as much as I used to, when I knew Roger Ebert was going to write about them.
I'm glad you like the site. It's been quite the undertaking...
And I agree, our Members-only section is definitely hokey right now! But give us a few months to get it fully up and running, and I hope it will become a useful resource for the intense cinephile and/or Ebert fan, something like ESPN Insider for a fantasy sports aficionado.
Most reviews are for before you see the movie, but some reviews are great for afterwards. I go to Rotten Tomatoes to help me decide what to see. If Pauline Kael has an essay/review for an old movie, I'll read it after I've seen it, or before I see it a second time.
