Quite a few of you may not know alot about Roger Ebert, but as one of the most famous and respected movie reviewers in the world I certainly do. He has been a big inspiration to me and my blog.
It has come as a complete shock as only yesterday he announced that after his cancer returning recently he would be taking things easier to get better, then the day after I hear the tragic news of his passing.
Chicago Sun-Times. the publication with which he worked for 46 years, announced his passing today. Ebert, one of America's most prominent film critics and a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, died in Chicago after suffering from cancer of both the thyroid and salivary gland.
Below are just a few reaction of the actors and actresses he has reviewed in the past. Each star has nothing but love and respect for this man who had nothing but love and respect for the movies.
