My vote for the Reviewer Rumble Final goes to

Collin Souter !

Mr. Green

I think his review of "City Lights" is perhaps one of the best reviews I have ever read on this site. Juts an amazing piece of writing. I think TAJ and Collin both deserved to get to this final.
In my opinion, the winner of this Rumble deserves to smack us all around like little bitches for a day. Amazing work guys.[/b]

Wow, thanks. Seriously, I’m honored. Thanks to everyone who voted for me and to everyone who stayed on and continued to read, vote and participate. We have a great group of writers on this site and I’m dumbfounded that I made it this far.

I honestly don’t think my “After Hours” review is better than Matt’s “Streetcar Named Desire” review. Great work, there. Paulapalooza made me very nervous with his hilarious “Urban Cowboy” rant. I honestly thought he was going to take it, which would have been fine with me. Guv surprised me with his insightful and intelligent review of “Hotel New Hampshire,” a movie that has usually been panned. I was expecting a review that would rip that movie a new one, but he took it seriously and it was a great read. Finally, Scott took the same chance I did and reviewed a movie he actually liked (“The Best of Times”) instead of playing it safe by “shooting fish in a barrel.” Great work. (I almost played it safe by ripping “Two of a Kind,” but I just wasn’t in the mood that day.)

Somebody said that the winner of this Rumble should get to bitchslap all the writers here for a day. I won’t do that. Everybody here has their own unique voice and you should all be proud of your work. I hope it takes you far.

Collin
