For those who don't follow Roger Ebert too much, he has a new website up now (www.rogerebert.com). He's finally including all (or most) of his film reviews from the 70's now. (before it was just 1985 and up). So, here we go with a somewhat positive review of Coonskin:

ack, nevermind on the URL, his search engine is not working at the moment. But, you can register on the site and post your own star rating. I gave Coonskin ***? myself. He also has his review for Bakshi's LOTR on there now as well. Suprised not to see any reviews for Fritz the Cat or Heavy Traffic, though :-\

i would have loved for ralphs original script to be made. it's a shame to get the film made he had to sleep with the devil.

ibaraki,

thanks for the heads up on the Ebert review. That was actually a pretty good review in many respects. Too bad Ebert seems to have gone insane in the last 13 years or so; however, I've always enjoyed reading his reviews.
