I know of at least one other well-known movie critic who gives out high
ratings left and right: NBC's Gene Shalit.  I can't remember him ever
NOT liking a movie, so I tend to disregard his reviews of movies in
which I am interested.  Since he's still working, I guess enough
people still enjoy and/or agree with his reviews, and because it seems
that each movie he reviews gets at least 3 stars, there's still lots
of "grade inflation" still around.
