Reading A.O. Scott’s review of MacGruber over the weekend, it occurred to me that the NY Times critic might be the single best take-down artist reviewing movies today. Armond White may have his quips about retroactive abortions , and Rex Reed may expend a gallon of acid per drop of ink he uses to cover, say, Kevin Smith. But more often than not, Scott approaches bad films from a genuine place attempting to ask and answer the fundamental question guiding all intelligent criticism: “What was that ?” Read on as the Movieline Nine takes a look at some of his greatest hits.
