After reading Toronto Star book columnist Geoff Pevere's review of the new book "The Warhol Gang", I noticed this welcome bit of intelligence...
"This is Geoff Pevere’s final appearance as books columnist. He continues as a Star entertainment writer."
Whether I agree with Mr. Pevere, film to film, or not is hardly important to me -- as did the late Pauline Kael, he always has something intelligent to say, and wraps it in an all-important cultural or societal context. In a world where many critics think film history is how much money Avatar made last weekend (and they often screw this fact up by not knowing the difference between "gross" and the more important and relevant "net"), an entertainment writer of Pevere's quality is all too rare... in Toronto, certainly.
