          <body><![CDATA[I loved the criticism that appeared in the LA Weekly when I moved to LA in the early 80's.  These were reviews written by real writers like Steve Erickson, Michael Ventura and Mike Davis, who happened to love and understand the movies.  Since then, my favorite reviewer, and the only one who is never wrong, is Libby Gelman-Waxner.  It's just too bad I'll never get to meet her.]]></body>
