Ebert

Green Cine Daily notes that it is Roger Ebert´s 65th birthday. I agree with the very positive sentiments they have toward Ebert. Before his latest health problems, Ebert was slammed pretty frequently by a lot of bloggers who also write about movies. While there´s no question that he likes a lot of really bad films, not only is he far better than Richard Roeper, but he has also done a tremendous amount of good by promoting films like The Wild Bunch and Decalogue long before they became popular. Ebert´s health seems to be improving and I wish him a happy birthday and hope he gets back to work soon.
