The world is giving this news two thumbs down because Roger Ebert passed away today at the age of 70 according to the paper he wrote for The Chicago Sun Times. The film critic along with Gene Siskel changed the way we all reviewed movies with their show At the Movies. In recent years he was no longer reviewing movies on television after surviving a cancer that silenced him for a while. But he was a fighter and didn’t give up. Two days ago he announced he was taking a “leave of presence” because the cancer had returned. Today the world is shocked that he is no longer with us.
So today honor him by reviewing a movie that deserves two thumbs up and one that deserves the opposite.
And just think that Siskel and Ebert are once again reviewing movies in heaven!
