Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very good but a little faulty
Review: Ebert's description of the 1950's Godzilla movie that was recently rereleased is a little faulty. He says everyone calls Raymond Burr's character "Steve Martin" (in the edited American version) but actually one person calls him just "Steve" at one point.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I've semi-often found Ebert's reviews a little inaccurate
Review: In this book when he reviews the film The Day After Tomorrow Ebert claims the character of Sam's mother (you'll understand this if you've seen TDAT) is in New York taking care of a sick hospital patient even though the city is now frozen under ice. Actually, Sam's mother is in another american city (not NYC) taking care of the kid. Some years ago I found the way Ebert reviewed another film (called In THe Dead of Winter) also to be a little inaccurate as well. I think he should watch all the films he puts into books at least half a dozen times before he puts them into book form. He seemingly only watches some of them once and it shows in his work.
