Meet Sarah the Movie Critic. See Sarah write a review. > [@](#): > > The movie was funny but very predictable. It was a movie for everyone ladies and guys would enjoy it. It was a fun movie but definitely not a thinking movie. The storyline was your typical comedy story. It was a comedy mixed with revenge. It was good to see Cameron Diaz back in the game of making comedy movies. It was nice to see a film with three strong leading ladies all different. I think they all did a great job playing their roles. This film comes out on April 25, 2014. Poor Sarah. Sarah is semi-literate. Sarah cannot compose a compound sentence. It is a bumpy road reading a Sarah review. It is hard to keep your focus. It is boring even in a very short space. It is highly repetitive. It is not fun. Why would I mock poor Sarah, an idiot blogger in a world full of idiot bloggers? Because Sarah is the movie critic blogger for ChicagoNow, and ChicagoNow is the blogging arm of the Chicago Tribune, and the Chicago Tribune was once the home of movie critic Gene Siskel, an elegant and highly literate writer. You Internet Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you, Internet! God damn you all to hell! ---

Eek. Gene Siskel is turning over in his grave. (Actually, he and Roger Ebert are sitting together in that Big Balcony in the Sky giving Sarah a resounding “thumbs down.”) ---

There are comments to that movie and the “Captain America: Winter Soldier” movie now. ---

And here’s her newest review: > [@](#): > > In the film Captain America: The Winter Soldier Steve Rogers(Chris Evans) is Captain America. Black Widow(Scarlett Johanseen). Bucky Barnes(Sebastian Stan). Agent 13(Emily VanCamp). Nick Fury(Samuel L. Jackson). > > Steve Rogers Captain America lives in the modern world. He must battle things from the past including the Winter Soldier. Will he succeed? Will he be able to handle the present mixed with the past? > > […] > > Recommendation - I would say to definitely check out this film if you like Captain America. And if you don’t like Captain America, then a movie titled _Captain America: The Winter Soldier_ is probably something you should avoid. Is this for real? It feels like a parody of bad blogging. ---

Some people cannot be taught how to write well. These reviews read like bad technical writing. It’s as if she’s writing an MSDS for a film. ---

In Sarah Takes On The Movies Sarah the Movie Critic is Sarah. ChicagoNow is the Website. Sarah the Movie Critic lives in Chicago. She must review new movies like Captain America the Winter Soldier. Will she succeed? Will she fail? Will she review new movies? I enjoy Sarah Takes On The Movies. The reviews are funny and don’t use too many words. The review comes out March 35th, 2014. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > Is this for real? It feels like a parody of bad blogging. I don’t know who this person is, but that’s what I wonder. The review in the OP sounds like its mimicking the style of a fourth grade book report. (I’m not saying that as a slam. I seriously and literally mean it sounds like it’s trying to evoke the tone of a fourth grade book report.) I hope to Your Deity of Preference this is intentional. ---
