Jason, I am no expert on movie reviews (let alone movies), but your reviewing style and ability (if there is such a thing) have really matured. I feel that you started out as one of us -- a poster who loved movies and was very good about writing about your thoughts, but as a hobby.
Over the years, you have really found a voice and a style that takes the review beyond the talented-amateur feel that is so common on the internet (whether on sites like this, or places like Huffington Post, Grantland, etc.) We do not always have the same taste in movies -- I don't like some of the ones you love, and love some that you didn't particularly care for -- but your reviews hit the most important point for me: over the years, I have developed a pretty good sense of whether I will like the move from your review.
I don't follow many reviewers, because I usually don't get to that place. For years, I subscribed to the NYT, and so was very familiar with AO Scott's work. I stopped reading his reviews, because they didn't help me decide whether to see a movie.
At any rate, I imagine that it is sometimes a drag to write these up, but I wanted to say that I really appreciate the time you put into these, and find a lot of value in them. I'm sure a lot of other people do, as well.
To bad you're not better at our movie contest, though.
