When I was appointed The Globe and Mail's lead film critic last summer, some people congratulated me and others said "You are going to be reviewing the new Star Wars movie!?" I did review it, and the fan boys weren't particularly pleased.  That's okay; it would be a pretty boring world if everyone had the same opinion about every movie. I think a review is just a starting point for conversations about a movie, a book or a play, a bit of grit in the cultural oyster, if you will. It's not right or wrong but a subjective opinion, although it should be a well-researched and well-argued opinion. When not reviewing movies, I write a Saturday column for Globe Arts - and novels. My third, entitled Serial Monogamy, will be published by Doubleday Canada in August. I'm happy to take your questions about movies, criticism, fiction writing or any other topic you care to name, just don't ask me to predict who is going to win the Oscar.
