   For me, although there is a fine element of surprise to be enjoyed with a film   
   that hasn't bared any scrutiny since it might be a new release, most of the   
   time those occassions are few.  Meanwhile, I've come to appreciate the   
   commentaries of respected critics who communicate enough details so that I can   
   decide whether a certain film is a waste of time and money or not.   
      
   Over time, I have found that Leonard Maltin does a very good job describing   
   the pluses and minuses of a film. From that, I can decide if it I want to try   
   it.His "ratings" have been quite consistent with my opinions too.
