We have just heard the sad news on the passing of Roger Ebert. What can we say but add to the chorus of people paying tribute to a giant of film, and film criticism. There are plenty of great obituaries for those who want to relive the full scope of his life – we like the ones at the LA Times and the New York Times (with a particularly excellent picture).
So we hobbled together a very different video of the week – it’s actually many videos of the week. We did a quick search on YouTube for every Siskel & Ebert review we could find. Many seemed to be ripped from old vhs copies and adds to the charm.
Here’s what we have:

RIP Roger Ebert. We hope you are settling to something good in that great big cinema in the sky.
