Roger Ebert's little rule book for critics: Here is a secret--it's not a rule book at all. Rather, it is a list of things said and done by Ben Lyons written by Ebert, without Roger ever mentioning Ben's name.What is the greatest movie ever made? According to Ben Lyons, it's I Am Legend. Seriously.
Roger Ebert once said that people who use their cell phone during movies are inconsiderate morons. Well, we can now add Ben Lyons to the list of morons.
Want to make one of the 10 best movies of the year? Here is a hint--put Ben Lyons in it.

And just in case the whole "film expert" thing doesn't work out, Ben has other career options. Or he can just sell his recommendations for money.

When will this male bimbo grow up? You can't spend your entire life partying and and taking pictures with famous people.
What an airhead. He should be ashamed of himself.
Lyons idiotic rave about "The Wrestler" caused us to watch it. One of the worst films of all time. We will never watch the show again because of his overt lie. He had to have been paid a lot to say that. Where are the real film critics? Bring back Richard Roeper in any show and we'll be loyal but Lyons must go.
Thank you so much for your Web site. Lyons is a total POS and miserable fame whore. Please, somebody get this SOB FIRED.
Ben Lyons is utterly useless. Does anyone feel more informed after watching his show than they would if they got a movie recommendation from a random jackass in a dentist's waiting room?
I... I... I can't even comment on I Am Legend being the best film of all time. And I loved that movie, too!
Casablanca... Citizen Kane... Schindler's List... Rear Window... Lawrence of Arabia... To Kill a Mockingbird...
Even in the past few years - films from Pixar, Scorsese, the Coens, etc.
This site is kind of depressing...
I am becoming increasingly certain that Ben Lyons is in fact a 13-year-old boy.
