Bio: When I was a kid and falling in love with cinema, David Shipman’s ‘The Good Film & Video Guide’ was one of my regular library checkouts. Shipman’s book listed only movies which he considered worth watching - rating them from zero stars (‘If you have nothing better to do’) to four stars (‘essential viewing’). Having gotten hold of a copy of this book I have once again been delighted by Shipman’s sharp, often grumpy capsule reviews. Of course, I have seen many, many more of the films which he lists in the many years since. So I have set myself the goal of recording his scores onto a new Criticker profile. Remember - even 0 stars does not, in Shipman’s view, signify a complete waste of time (although his reviews often suggest otherwise…)
