Achilles' Heels

Vol. 1 • Iss. 2

Last week, Feisty Media Critic mentioned they'd share with you which are their Achilles' heels.  Which actors and directors will nearly always appeal to FMC?  This is important because, feisty or not, even media critics are only human and are, therefore, inclined to biases.  Nature of the beast.

Absolute truth.

In regard to any media, we have favorites.  It's not a good or bad thing, it simply is.

Were we a feisty food critic, we might put it this way: if one detests Roquefort cheese, the likelihood that they can somehow teach themselves to enjoy it is virtually nil.  (Unless extenuating circumstances existed--and they would have to be incredibly bizarre--we would go so far as to say it would be inane if they even made the attempt.)

But we're not a feisty food critic.  So tonight, let's talk movies.  Well, not so much talk as simply list.  No, we're not leaning to one side.  Sheesh.

Following are lists of actors and directors (in no particular order) whose bodies of work tend to appeal to FMC and are apt to sway (okay, NOW we're leaning) us towards favorable opinions of their films:

Actors	Directors
Forest Whitaker Hugh Jackman Kevin Spacey Morgan Freeman Benicio Del Toro Stephen McHattie Stephen Fry	David Fincher Terry Gilliam Frank Capra Kevin Smith Roger Corman

Now, do bear in mind that this list is absurdly incomplete.  As films, movies, flicks, and the occasional wastes of celluloid are critiqued, if any actors or directors are favorites, FMC will make that clear in advance, lest you be led astray by our leanings.  Yes, leanings.

"No actresses!" you say.  Well, maybe you said it.  "WE CAN'T HEAR YOU!", we reply.  At time of posting, we honestly couldn't hear you say it.  FMC loves women.  FMC is also exceedingly critical of women in media and thus, has very few favorites--so few, in fact, that none spring to mind as of this writing.

Well, dinner awaits.  Roquefort may be involved.  Here's a ten-spot, kid.  Go watch a movie.  Even a Feisty Media Critic's gotta eat now and then.

Next week, we'll dig in and start rating some cinema!
