...brief essays, look up, shake your head, and think "What the hell is this guy talking about?" For that, you should be grateful. All too many books about film regurgitate the same old pablum about the same old movies over and over again. Thomson, however, isn't afraid to tear down critical darlings (he hates Stanley Kubrick), isn't afraid of spoilers (there's a strong argument to be made for film criticism that can only be read after having seen the movie, not before), and reveals a cinematic knowledge of frightening depth. This all makes for a bracing, infuriating...
