I trust Ebert absolutely on reviews of dramas and comedies, but he and I have diametrically opposed tastes when it comes to horror/fantasty.
For instance, he loved the remake of The Haunting, whereas I would rather watch John Travolta re-enact Battlefield Earth with sock puppets than see again.
So if he pans a horror or sci-fi movie, I know it might be one I want to see. And vice versa, if he likes a horror/fantasy movie, I know there's something seriously wrong with it.
