I do not know Dan Schneider, the author of those words , in an apparently recent piece about the movie High Noon. "Criteria" doesn't seem like a good choice of words. http://www.cinescene.com/reviews/highnoon.htm. I do say indeed, that's a run of ill phrases! In defense of Cinescene, relatively very few pieces by Dan Schneider have ever appeared on the site.
