To remember the man who taught so many of us to love movies, here is his review of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khann.

Note: It seems that the Sun Times servers have crashed. I'm sure it will be up again soon.


We'll see you at the movies, Roger.

Remembering Roger Ebert from Chicago Tonight on WTTW, PBS in Chicago. WTTW is where Siskel and Ebert started their movie review show.

I actually cried during Fresh Air's remembrance of him today. They played clips from his various appearances on the show over the years, with and without Gene Siskel. Ebert made writing about films look easy, but his work was always thoughtful, sometimes hilarious and never failed to celebrate movies as both art and popular entertainment:
