Yummy!

Ross Anthony is my new favorite online film reviewer. Why, you may ask? Not because of his writing, that’s for sure. The first line of his Live Free or Die Hard review:

Pow, Bang, Crash — this action film delivers.

Zowie got edited out due to space constraints, I’m sure. I certainly don’t love him for his grade system, which is A = (smiley face), B = (ambivalent face) and C = (frowny face). And I would never see a movie based on his judgment. But I love Ross Anthony solely for the last line of his Ratatouille review:

Not quite the comedic animated masterpiece I’d expected, I, instead, found a cute quaint film that drags a bit at the end of the second act, but offers up an unexpectedly warm plate of climax in the wind up.

I love you, Ross Anthony. (I also love Clayton for the tip.)

Guess that's better than a plate of cold climax.

Sounds like Ratatouille totally ripped off the ending to this movie.

Turns out Ross is more of a comedic masterpiece than anyone expected.

I never had it served on a plate before. Is that a new fetish with cityfolk?
