Halliwell's
Halliwell's Film Guide has always set the benchmark for good and bad cinema, and Leslie Halliwell's ruthless style is what we try to emulate when writing up our own reviews.
The book is surprisingly absent on the internet - and although a comprehensive website would thrash IMDB's relatively wimpy brown-nosing (A Clockwork Orange - 8.4!!?) it would quickly make the book obselete.
www.lesliehalliwell.com is a good resource though, with some biography about Leslie himself, favourite reviews, modern reviews, a list of some of the promoted and demoted four star films and a comparison of old vs new versions of the guide.
