Sad news for fans of Ebert, Roeper, and fans of good film reviews. They are officially leaving At the Movies, the show that introduced Ebert, Siskel and the Thumbs Up and Down ratings.
Richard Roeper joined Roger Ebert on the show after Gene Siskel’s death. Ebert has long been absent from the show for health reasons. Several guest critics have filled in, but only a few have even come close to Ebert’s high standards of review, in my opinion: New York Times’ A.O. Scott, Village Voice’s Robert Wilonsky, and Chicago Tribune’s Michael Phillips.
Ebert and Roeper will continue to review movies in different media formats, such as Ebert’s site.  Content suppressed by ://URLFAN, for full article visit source

Awake in the Dark de Roger EbertFrom: pjorge.com Post Date: 2008-09-29 03:29:35 Roger Ebert es mi crítico de cine favorito. No porque tienda a estar de acuerdo con él, que depende, sino porque me gusta como piensa. En general, las opiniones no me interesan demasiado y prefiero oír las razones que sustentan esas opiniones. En el caso de Ebert, me parece que razona muy bien, con gran [...]... more  Roger Ebert ROFL OMG LMFAOFrom: boogiespotblog.quickdfw.com Post Date: 2008-09-29 05:38:10 Roger Ebert has been involved in a scuffle or two in his day.

Gilead by Marilynne RobinsonFrom: girldetective.net Post Date: 2007-05-24 14:20:40 #17 in my 2007 book challenge was Gilead, my second reading of Robinson’s luminous work. How can I possibly contain my admiration for this book in a brief review? I discussed it with two groups of people. Few liked it; many found it dull. Several wondered why it was good enough to win the Pulitzer. I admit that I admire it more than I enjoyed it. But the experience of it and the aftermath as I ruminate on it, are deeply pleasurable and satisfying.

A few observations. Suede has a silly name, freaked out at a challenge that had been done before, and refers to himself in the third person. Two contestants from my city of origin, Columbus, Ohio?

During the summer especially, I long for an ice-cream finish to the Neapolitan-style pizza and salad. I was delighted to discover that Kramarczuk’s across the street carries a few flavors of Izzy’s ice cream. Izzy’s owners learned their trade in Italy, so their ice cream is very much in the tradition of gelato, and much better than the supposedly authentic but actually gummy and kinda y... more  Combing the Kids’ Shelves: Helen OxenburyFrom: girldetective.net Post Date: 2008-07-18 13:34:09 I was aware of Helen Oxenbury’s work before I had children, because I oversaw the kids’ section at a large used-book store. But I didn’t own any of her books till after I had my own child. The first thing that raised my interest was an article I can no longer find*, I think from the Guardian or Times, about best books for children that included at least one of Oxenbury’s quartet, Say Goodnight, All Fall Down, Clap Hands and Tickle, Tickle. The second was a post by kidlit/... more
