The woeful movie review section

The film review sections haven't been the same since Bruce Williamson died.
Now I find them a waste of pages. The DVD section is puzzling--why waste
space on a review of The Cat in the Hat? Is that relevant to the readers of
Playboy? I wish they would list DVDs that devoted readers would WANT to
watch--don't give us two-and-a-half star reviews. I kind of liked when they
had a "film school" sidebar--it led me to renting quite a few French New
Wave films, for example, but they seemed to have dropped that idea.
