Siskel and Ebert

Gutted at the news of Roger Ebert passing. One of the greatest critics of all time, a Pulitzer Prize winner for his captivating, charismatic and thought - provoking criticism. Siskel and Ebert gave us the most enthralling and gripping partnership ever.
The dynamic duo
Siskel and Ebert and The Movies and then Siskel and Ebert were such refreshingly captivating programmes that they had a huge loyal following of film fans wanting to learn. Two of the greatest voices of critique and appraisal in cinema history, they always gave their fantastic and unique judgements. Both leaving behind an incredible legacy...
A powerful collaboration of two geniuses. They seem to disagree!
                  ...R.I.P. Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. Two eternal thumbs up!
Thumbs up!

    It's very sad, especially to fans who grew up admiring his work. What a guy, the world of film has lost someone really important today. Gem of a guy.

    He's not only important to the world of film, but to the world of any critique/criticism, journalism, reviews etc. One of a kind reviewer, we could all learn from the master!

    A legendary film critic with the soul of a poet. Iconic dude. A man who made Hollywood shine more than it could on its own. R.I.P. Roger Ebert

    He made you feel like being honest about something you love was the right way to matter. Phenomenal writer, intelligent critic, terrific man. "Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you." - R.I.P. Roger Ebert for the love of film.

    He linked the world of film and journalism together. Your perspective and truth will be missed. "I’ll see you at the movies." His entertaining criticism will be missed, and we've one less champion of wit and common sense when discussing film!
