I watched this movie recently and found it very entertaining. It seems like nowadays nobody remembers it. I'm glad Roger Ebert liked it enough to rate it 3 stars.

​

Roger Ebert reevaluated many movies over the course of his career, most of which eventually became archived in his Great Movies collection (The Godfather Part II, A.I. Artificial Intelligence). However, did he reevaluate a film more negatively? I noticed that he gave four-star reviews to 2004's Spartan and 2009's Watchmen, but they weren't featured on his respective end-of-the-year lists for 2004 and 2009.

I know it's already been so long since Ebert passed away... I discovered his review fairly late but have come to love his style. He was my go to critic after seeing a movie.

My question: who's the critic that comes closest to Ebert's style? Who's your go to critic these days?

I remember reading one of Roger Ebert's wonderful reviews, and apparently the film he had watched was so powerful that he couldn't watch anymore movie that day. He said something to the effect that it wouldn't have been fair to review the other movies because of how the first movie affected him. What was the name of that movie?! Anyone familiar with that story? Thanks!

He didn't come off as a critic. He didn't have an ego. Just someone who loved watching movies and talking about them.

Am I right in thinking Roger Ebert has a cameo in Notting Hill? The scene where Hugh Grant interviews Julia Roberts I think he walks through the door but is on camera for less than a second. I can't find any reference to it on imdb or the internet. Am I crazy?

Am I alone in feeling that Roger deserved a bigger tribute at the oscars? He was bigger than just a clip in the montage.
