Roger Ebert

We're all entitled to our own opinions, and here are Roger Ebert's. He has 20 films on his Best of 2009 countdown, ten he calls "mainstream" films and ten that are "independent." Seven of Ebert's top ten mainstreamers are in the Oscar ...  

Actually, Roger Ebert names twenty movies for his ten best list this year -- ten mainstream and ten indies, all of which he says get to claim the title of "One of the year's ten best!" It's best not to try to argue with Ebert-logic. [Chicago Sun-Times] Read more posts by Lindsay RobertsonFiled Under: movies, movie critics, roger ebert  

Glory days: Siskel and Ebert's At the Movies popularized intelligent critiques of major motion pictures. In a highly candid and revealing article, film critic Roger Ebert discusses how his health problems led to the deterioration of At the Movies - the legendary show he started in the 1970s with the late Gene Siskel. Ebert takes some blatant swipes at the boardroom hacks who changed the format of the show, destroyed the iconic set and left it...  

It seems like Roger Ebert has come under fire recently for being too soft on films, but if you look back through his lifetime of reviewing movies he hasn't changed all that much. Then again, who doesn't change their opinions as they get older. While some 14-year-olds out there may believe certain blockbusters are their [...]  

Who says a year has Ten Best Films, anyway? Nobody but readers, editors, and most other movie critics. There was hell to pay last year when I published my list of Twenty Best. You'd have thought I belched at a funeral. ...

Hilarious stuff from Roger Ebert:New Age beliefs are the Creationism of the Progressives. I move in circles where most people would find it absurd to believe that humans didn't evolve from prehistoric ancestors, yet many of these same people quite happily believe in astrology, psychics, reincarnation, the Tarot deck, the i Ching, and sooth-saying. Palmistry and phrenology have pretty much blown over. If you were attending a dinner party of...  

Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert can probably be credited with really getting everyone interested in movie criticism. Before Sneak Previews, people would read movie reviews, sure, but they brought intelligent film criticism to television and became a huge part of pop culture. This is a tribute from The Nostalgia Critic, and he covers the history of the show, from the start on PBS to the death of Siskel in 1999 to the hosts that eventually replaced...  

Movie critic and syndicated columnist Richard Roeper makes his debut appearance on Hollywood Dailies tonight.

I didn't expect it to be good, but the The Twilight Saga: New Moon review by Roger Ebert leaves no question as to the horribleness of this movie, and has some great lines in it. The characters in this movie should be arrested for loitering with intent to moan. Never have teenagers been in greater need of a jump-start. Granted some of them are more than 100 years old, but still: their charisma is by Madame Tussaud. [...] sitting through this...  

 As some of you may recall, Roger Ebert reviewed my blog :  Roger Ebert reviews my blog (for real)  Sometime in the last week or so @ebertchicago joined Twitter. He already has over 17,000 followers.  Not surprising.  Thanks to his blog he has a considerable presence on the web.

Veteran film critic Roger Ebert, who at one time dated Oprah Winfrey and claims to have influenced her decision to accept an offer for a syndicated show, has made an educated guess in the Chicago Sun-Times about what her next move might be.Ebert thinks the talk-show queen will be on her OWN cable network, syndicate overseas, have same-day reruns, stream on the Internet and have an online archive of past shows."This move doesn't require a...
