  • Ebert & Roeper site revamped

    Posted on January 7th, 2007 thehutch 1 comment

    In another example of TV content via the Internet, Ebert & Roeper is now replaying the whole show online. What’s more, it begins playing as soon as you open the site.

    It’s a neat move for Ebert and Roeper, not that Ebert’s content is present, as he’s been sick for most of 2006. One wonders if Ebert will ever be back. Longtime readers know that I’m no fan of Ebert’s political views which taint far too many of his reviews, but when it comes to straightforward film analysis and history there are few better than him. He’s even better when providing film commentery tracks for DVDs of “Citizen Kane” and “Dark City.”

    By the way, of all the guest hosts, I think Aisha Tyler was the best and if she had the co-host duties permanently I’d be for it. Her perspective is youthful and she comes at movies from an insider’s view. Plus, check out her review of “Holiday”; it’s like she’s a chick who can appreciate “Chick Flicks” but she’s more like a guy’s gal who’d rather be going to a guy’s movie. And it can’t hurt after 20 years of the old fat guy and the old bald guy to have a movie reviewer who is pleasing to behold.
