I thought it would be interesting to see how the critics in different countries/cities differ from each other. Now I realise different places get films at different times, so there may be older films in regards to other places but stil...
And do you agree with their ratings?

Here's how it is in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

April 5, 2003

About Schmidt (M) ***1/2
Antwone Fisher (M) ***1/2
Bowling For Columbine (M) ****
Bringing Down The House (M) ***1/2
Chicago (M) *****
City Of God (R) ****1/2
Cradle 2 The Grave (MA) **1/2
Daredevil (M) **1/2
Dog Soldiers (MA) ***
Dreamcatcher (MA) *
Final Destination 2 (MA) **
Gangs Of New York (MA) ***1/2
The Hours (M) ***1/2
Jackass: The Movie (MA) **
The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers (M) *****
Maid In Manhattan (PG) ***
Ned Kelly (M) ***
The Pianist (MA) *****
Punch Drunk Love (M) **
The Quiet American (M) ****
The Recruit (M) ***1/2
Sweet Sixteen (MA) ****
Swimming Upstream (M) ****
Talk To Her (MA) ****
Taking Sides (M) ***1/2
24 Hour Party People (MA) ***1/2
What A Girl Wants (G) **1/2

These are only the reviews from the Saturday paper, the sunday paper usually differs and we have a Move Show that reviews films too, and they are often used for quotes and what not. I don't know how a film like What A Girl Wants can get the same rating as Daredevil. But there are some up there i definitely agree with.

At The Arizona Republic we have a bunch of critics who seem to like everything......Every movie gets at least ***. :rolleyes:

Our other paper, The Tribune only reviews one movie a week!.....they're pretty bad at it too....

The guy gave House of 1000 corpses a F and said if he could have given any lower he would have. The critics in the local paper hate comedies, action, and horror movies, and nothing gets a decent review except for drama and artsy crap.

In Quebec the movies are rated with numbers.

(1) Masterpiece
(2) Excellent
(3) Very Good
(4) Good
(5) Average
(6) Bad
(7) Really bad

We don't see 1 and 2 too often a for 6 and 7.
7 are mostly porn. 6 are just really bad movies.
