Guy Thompson of American Fork asks if Hollywood is producing only horrible movies or if critics are "drinking their own bath water" (Readers' Forum, Oct. 24).
As an online movie critic, I have to say the answer is "yes." Even when Hollywood people make a movie that uplifts, they feel culturally obliged to temper it with cynicism, violence and sex. Notable exceptions include the Pixar movies.
Most critics review movies for artistic merit, not morality or inspiration. But there are a few exceptions — most of them online. For instance, www.moviemom.com and my blog — www.dollarmoviereview.net.
