Mark Kermode from the BBC? Granted you mostly have to listen instead of read, as he's primarily a radio reviewer, but he's damned good. And obstinately opinionated, which makes for some fun review rants. Check out his "Sex and the City 2: T

I like the "volume dial" on G+ Circles. Just wish it would let me filter circle posts by media type (i.e. block all images and videos, but show all text and link posts). I'm sure it can be done, as they just implemented this feature for Goo
