Legendary film critic Roger Ebert has died at the age of 70. Mr.Ebert, along with his late partner Gene Siskel, taught me that movies could be appreciated as much more than simple moving pictures on a screen. In the days before anyone could publish their movie review on-line there were few movie critics who earned the trust of the movie going public. Roger Ebert ranked at the very top of respected and well known movie critics. In 1975, Mr. Ebert was awarded the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for journalism.
In 1986 Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert (they were both film critics for rival Chicago newspapers) began their eponymous television show in which their thumbs became almost as famous as they did. Those were the days when the phrase “Siskel & Ebert give it two thumbs up!” was enough to drive millions of movie goers to their local cineplex. After the death of Gene Siskel, Ebert continued the show with Richard Roeper but they never achieved the same chemistry or influence of the great Siskel & Ebert.
Thank you Mr. Ebert. I’m sure that wherever you are Siskel will be saving the seat next to him. Rest in peace.
