A Burn!
Sometimes people just get right down to it with the perfect insult. There is nothing petty about it, it strikes a true chord, all around it is an utter and perfect burn. This is a place to give praise to skillful slams.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (PG-13, 149 minutes). A horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments. One of these involves a dog-like robot humping the leg of the heroine. If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination. One star.
- From Roger Ebert’s review of “Transformers: revenge of the Fallen” . Roger Ebert is probably my favorite movie reviewer because in general I think he is fair and he is also an amazing writer. Every once and awhile he really dislikes a film and he has no qualms as all about ripping it a new one, much as above.
