The Cigarette Fling
Whenever a character is smoking a cigarette just before doing something important, he always flicks the cigarette aside just before setting forth. This is true especially before a car pursuit.

Roger Ebert Presents At the Movies

The Ebert Club


	Opening This Week Coming Soon		roger ebert's journal A leave of presence Thank you. Forty-six years ago on April 3, 1967, I became the film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times. Some of you have read my reviews and columns and even written to me since that time. Others were introduced to my film criticism through the television show, my books, the website, the film festival, or the Ebert Club and newsletter. However you came to know me, I'm glad you did and thank you for being the best readers any film critic could ask for. our foreign correspondents thumbs Two Thumbs Up® Linked here are reviews in recent months for which I wrote either 4 star or 3.5 star reviews. What does Two Thumbs Up mean in this context? It signifies that I believe these films are worth going out of your way to see, or that you might rent them, add them to your Netflix, Blockbuster or TiVo queues, or if they are telecast record them. Your Movie Sucks™ Gathered here in one convenient place are my recent reviews that awarded films Zero Stars, One-half Star, One Star, and One-and-a-half Stars. These are, generally speaking to be avoided. Sometimes I hear from readers who confess they are in the mood to watch a really bad movie on some form of video. If you are sincere, be sure to know what you're getting: A really bad movie. in theaters more current releases » One-minute movie reviews still playing Admission The Angels Share Barbara Bates Motel Beyond the Hills The Call The Condemned The Croods Don't Stop Believing: Everyman's Journey The Door Emperor The End of Love Everybody Has a Plan Everybody in Our Family Evil Dead From Up on Poppy Hill G.I.
