The third 'Great Gatsby' trailer is pretty great
If people were lining up to be skeptical of a film adaptation of a classic 1925 novel in 3-D, I'd be near the front of the queue. Wouldn't it be nice if we could leave "The Great Gatsby" alone? Didn't the soporific 1974 movie teach us anything? Can we not...

Ebert's approachability
Mark Caro's piece on Roger Ebert (“Roger Ebert: Quintessential Chicagoan, A&E, April 4) struck a chord with me, especially the part about Ebert's approachability to the public. As a technical assistant at the Chicago International Film Festival...Tags: Film Festivals, Movies, Chicago International Film Festival, Entertainment

We'll still hear Ebert at the movies
Roger Ebert's death is mourned by many, but I will remember it as bringing down the curtain on a special guy in a special time: He was multimedia before multimedia was cool. In today's angrily polarized political times, I particularly appreciate how...Tags: Chicago Sun-Times, Pulitzer Prize Awards, Gene Siskel, Reviews, Chicago Tribune

Roger Ebert, my mentor
As I sit here at my computer tonight I realize I'm doing what I saw Roger Ebert do so many times before — stopping everything to crank out a deadline appreciation for an artist who has just passed on. Only this time the artist is Roger. And I...Tags: London Heathrow Airport, Chicago Sun-Times, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Union (McHenry, Illinois), Urbana (Champaign, Illinois)

Nora Ephron, Roger Ebert: Because they could not stop for death
There is something very unusual about Nora Ephron's bio in the Playbill for her new play, "Lucky Guy," a piece about famed tabloid newspaperman Mike McAlary, which opened Monday night on Broadway and stars Tom Hanks. The little sketch of Ephron, stuck...

Remembrance: Roger Ebert, film's hero to the end
This post has been corrected. See below for details. It seems like only yesterday — in fact, it was only yesterday — that I read that Roger Ebert was taking what he called, with typical verbal skill, "a leave of presence" to fight the cancer...

Rosenthal: Roger Ebert wrote a business script worth following

I'll have a pina colada and UCF season tickets!
Running off at the typewriter. … I love the fact that UCF wants to build a tiki bar at its football stadium, but I don't think the school is going far enough in trying to create a tropical motif at its games. I'm thinking George O'Leary should...

Thanks to Roger Ebert, 1942-2013
The first time I encountered Roger Ebert, I detested him. The second time I encountered him, I liked him even less. In later years, I learned that Ebert's relationship with Gene Siskel progressed the same way: animosity, then grudging respect, then love...

That's the number of movie reviews he wrote last year, according to what turned out to be the final entry on his blog Tuesday.
