Same. He was one of the good ones. All these years later and I still haven’t found a proper substitute movie reviewer who is both funny and “gets it”. You could always trust his judgement. His review of Shoot 'Em Up (when so many other critics panned it) was always a perfect example to me of how he never succumbed to snobbery despite maintaining an excellent eye.
It’s a shame we’ll never hear him savagely eviscerate the currently creatively bankrupt Hollywood with their endless sequels and remakes.
