Thanks, Scott and Jerry,

Scott, I wasn't saying it was impossible to be good at both film and music reviews; I know other people who also do both. I was just suggesting that they were more likely to be scrubs at reviewing music if it was only a sideline to reviewing films. You sound like you SHOULD be on the BBC instead of them :-)

Jerry, your observations about Ebert are spot on! I've noticed that myself. But once you are used to it, you can read his reviews and adjust for the "Ebert Factor."
