Anyone ever had any issues with the website?

Hi everyone,

This website is littered with adverts, and I had quite a poor experience once when browsing with my phone. In short, is this website and its adverts totally safe? Has anyone ever had any issues?

Thanks

What's a movie you are near *positive* Roger would have added to the Great Movies if he got around to it?

3 Upvotes

Obviously, you could never be certain about it, but what's a movie you are like 95% confident would have made it to the Great Movies eventually?

Me, I think an almost definite one would be Hannah and Her Sisters

Anyone know where to watch the video of Siskel/Ebert reviewing "Babe" (1995)?

The video of them reviewing the sequel is on YouTube. I'm sure they reviewed it on television....right?

Ebert 4 stars vs "great movie"

I noticed there are 4 star reviews without the "great movie" accolade. Is this on purpose?

Looking for an Ebert qoute

Used to have it saved on my iPad. It had something to do with mortality and movies. Said something like only in movies can we explore the dreams beyond our mortal coil

It was such a good qoute

The Hitcher (1986)

1 Upvotes

Ebert wrote that "I could see that the film was meant as an allegory, not a documentary. But on its own terms, this movie is diseased and corrupt. I would have admired it more if it had found the courage to acknowledge the real relationship it was portraying between Howell and Rutger, but no: It prefers to disguise itself as a violent thriller, and on that level it is reprehensible." https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-hitcher-1986

What did he mean by acknowledging the real relationship it was portraying between Howell and Rutger? What was this "real relationship" that the movie doesn't acknowledge?

The Jungle Book (1994)

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.

Did Roger Ebert ever reverse his positive stance on a movie?

3 Upvotes

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 miss Ebert's reviews... So where do I go now?

5 Upvotes

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?

Looking for a film Mr. Ebert reviewed that left a powerful mark

3 Upvotes

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!

The best thing I loved about Ebert.

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