There's a new film critic gaining all sorts of internet buzz, one who recently showed up on the Early Show offering up his take on the likes of Inception, Ramona and Beezus, and Salt. He's not just some Joe Schmoe off the street. His work can be seen on his website -- Lights, Camera, Jackson, on New York television, Disney radio, and The Record newspaper. He's even won a NY Emmy Award.

There's just one thing: He's not some film school grad, or other adult film geek. Jackson is an 11-year-old kid who "began his career" at the age of 7 1/2. The kid is such a cinephile, in fact, that he claims in-the-womb movie fandom, as his mom went to see Mulan a month before he was born. "Legend has it he kicked his mother during the funny parts."

He's a tyke in a suit, and after showering Chris Wragge (embedding disabled; watch the clip at that link) with every critic one-liner known to man, many are now asking the question: Is he really entertaining, or just plain annoying as all hell?

Jackson's got the frenetic energy of a little kid, but he doesn't speak like one. Imagine watching older versions of At the Movies with Ebert, Siskel, or Roeper, and then imagine their voices a whole lot younger. Though Wragge introduces him by saying the kid does reviews "like no one else," that's precisely what he does.

There's not a whole lot of realistic dialogue coming out of Jackson. Right now it's all-out mimicry -- from hand gestures to words, elocution, and critiques. He can't understand Inception, but thinks: "visually it's stunning." Ramona and Beezus, meanwhile, is "a good, light-hearted, G-rated family film."

For DVD covers, he's a studio's dream, but really, the all-out desire to mimic rather than be genuine comes off as quite annoying. The kid's obviously passionate about film, but he's about rehearsed style over substance or thought. I'd much rather hear a smart kid genuinely talk about his thoughts on a particular film instead of one trying to be an adult and talk like something he isn't. In fact, I think it'd be pretty cool to see kids honestly discussing movies. But a tyke shouting critic quotes? Not so much. Let's hope one of his critical idols helps him dial it back a notch ... or ten.
