I can't even imagine the ratio of right to left leaning film critics. Must be staggering. And, yes, the culture is at stake, and a film critic of any stripe should mention the 'land mines' as you put it.

The issue is that a continual string of movies like Avatar and Wall-e without counter programming have consequences. At this point in history those consequences are an even larger, even more intrusive government coupled with an ever lower standard of living for us and our children. That being said, I don't expect a conservative critic to tailor his/her artistic opinion based on a film's politics, but I do expect to find out where the land mines are.
