Today, the Entertainment Industry mourns the loss of esteemed movie critic Roger Ebert. The seventy-year-old film critic has died today after a long battle with Cancer.
Ebert was known for hosting the long-running series "At The Movies" along with Gene Siskel from 1986-1999; until the latter died of surgery complications. In 2000, Richard Roeper served at Ebert's co-host until the latter suspended his stay on the show as he began to undergo treatment for typhoid cancer beginning in 2006. Ebert formally ended his time on "At The Movies" in July 2008.
Roger Ebert was known for his "Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down" method of reviewing movies; a method of film critique that helped many moviegoers decide on which films to either view in theaters or avoid completely.
Though I never always agreed with Roger Ebert, his style of film reviewing was very interesting and I did find myself being engrossed in his take on different trends in movies.
Roger Ebert will be missed.
