It is with a heavy heart that we bring this sad news: film critic guru Roger Ebert has died at the age of 70. According to the Chicago Sun-Times (via Variety), the legendary reviewer passed away on Thursday after battling thyroid cancer for more than ten years.
Ebert’s contribution to the film critic world is staggering, joining the Chicago-Sun Times in 1967 and launching Sneak Previews in 1975, the first TV show to offer film reviews. He will be missed, but not forgotten. He gets five stars from us.
