Reel Talk

This movie review show was hampered by the presence of Alison Bailes, a movie critic from Britain, who was one of the worst critics I've ever come across. I don't know where they found her, but it's my guess that she was hired only because they wanted a woman beside Jeffrey Lyons. Now I know film critics are entitled to their opinions, but Bailes often disliked movies that other critics praised, like "Sweeney Todd", and liked movies that were universally panned, like the remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still." Clearly, her judgment of movies and her critiquing process were inadequate. Poor Jeffrey Lyons,a good critic, who had to put up with her bizarre opinions. This show deserved to be cancelled.
