eFilmCritic takes down the "blurb" reviewers...

I've been watching "Pete Hammond, Maxim" quoted again and again on promotional material for some pretty lame-duck movies, so I'm glad to see EFilmCritic take him down. But I guess I didn't realize quite so many others had their hand in "blurb"-writing within their reviews. A stunning, edge-your-seat comparison of verbiage in reviews is here.

Most fun in that article, though, were an array of themed collections of review quotes from the year.

From their "Dumbest Quotes of the Year" collection:
11. Vince Vaughn for the whole family. (Fred Claus) – Lynn Barker, Teen Hollywood

From their "Top Ten Quotes That Are Just This Side of Dirty" list:
3. Pack your spandex, stuff your crotch and press on your temporary tattoos, we’re going to Finland! (Air Guitar Nation) – High Times
