The poor state of the News' movie blog

It's been a long time since I paid a visit to the Dallas Morning News' movie blog. However, I dropped in today and was shocked that it was nothing more than a shill for the new Harry Potter movie. There are 20 entries on the blog and an astounding 18 of them are on the Harry Potter movie. The News should be ashamed of itself. With so many worthwhile films and performances to write about, why is the paper wasting all its energy on this piece of fluff? I had a hunch that the Morning News's coverage of film became irrelevant the day the great Philip Wuntch left the paper. This proves that assumption to be absolutely dead-on correct.
