  1. 'To the Wonder' producers and Ben Affleck on Ebert's final review

    When news broke a week ago of the death of film critic Roger Ebert, his last published review at the time was a lukewarm notice of sci-fi film "The Host." It seemed more fitting when a review of "To the Wonder," opening Friday, was published posthumously.

  2. Writing in the dark: Reflections on the literary art of Roger Ebert

    Film critics are to filmmakers what Chicago is to New York: a little envious, a lot insecure, secretly fearful of second-class status. Hypersensitive to slights, real or imagined. Important — but not essential. The world would perish without movies; it would, however, manage to rattle along just fine without the people who write about movies. Right?Roger Ebert changed the answer to that question forever. The world's most famous film critic, whose recent death triggered a torrent of sorrow and celebration — sorrow for what we've lost, celebration of what he accomplished — demonstrated the real meaning of the word "critic": It's not just a person who experiences something and then decides, after a period of supercilious chin-stroking, if a movie (or book or TV show or sculpture or concert) warrants the tilting of a thumb up or down, like an emperor whimsically signaling life or death for some luckless supplicant down yonder in the Coliseum.

  6. Roger Ebert's last thumbs up: Terrence Malick's 'To the Wonder'

    When Roger Ebert died last week little more than a day after declaring he was taking a “leave of presence,” people turned to see what the legendary film critic’s final published review was. Some were dismayed to find it was a rather middling take on the Andrew Niccol-directed adaptation of Stephanie Meyer’s “The Host.” It seemed somehow not enough.

  7. Roger Ebert: Quintessential Chicagoan

    When Anthony Bourdain was in town last summer taping a Chicago-themed episode of his Travel Channel show “The Layover,” he asked various people, including me, to name the quintessential Chicagoan, and a consensus quickly emerged.

  8. 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 let F. Scott Fitzgerald rest in peace?

  11. 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...

  12. 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.
