Roger Ebert is my favorite movie critic, and really my favorite writer. I have all his books and can re-read them constantly. His style is so graceful and witty, it’s like a good friend telling you about a movie. Your friend who has an encyclopedic knowledge of film. He’s the only critic whose opinion I truly trust and value. Even if I don’t agree (which is rare) i see where he’s coming from and respect his opinion. Truly an inspiration to me. Sadly Thyroid cancer caused him to lose his lower jaw and his voice. Twitter and his website are his new voice. Hopefully he continues on for many more years.
P.S. We share a birthday!
