- The C+ rating probably comes from Entertainment Weekly, who had a list
- of fifty notable movies of 1992 and the letter ratings that each critic
- gave them. Both Siskel and Ebert gave Reservoir Dogs gave it the C+.
- Actually, they were the ones who disliked it the most in this survey.
- The next lowest ranking was a B from the reviewer in the Atlanta Journal
- and Con. Everybody else gave it at least an A-.
-
- I'd like to say if they were right or not, but our local theatre has not
- showed it here. Nor have they shown Malcom X or any other
- semi-conroversal movies. Wimps the whole lot of them.
-
- Finally as a preview, you can probably expect to see the following
- movies on the worst of the year broadcast: Encino Man, Raising Cain,
- 1492, Shining Through, Passanger 57, Far and Away, Basic Instinct, Alien
- 3 and possibly (shock) Unforgiven. Siskel gave it a C+ and Ebert a B-. I
- guess they can't be right all the time.
