  1. Roger Ebert's last thumbs up: Terrence Malick's 'To the Wonder'

    When Roger Ebert died last week little more than a day after declaring he was taking a “leave of presence,” people turned to see what the legendary film critic’s final published review was.

  7. Ebertfest: Poignant tribute to late founder

    CHAMPAIGN &mdash; Film festivals &mdash; festivals themselves, let alone films &mdash; are rarely as poignant as the one unfolding right now in this college town. The 15th Annual Roger Ebert&rsquo;s Film Festival began Wednesday without its founder, who died two weeks ago. Earlier in the evening, an hour or so before the opening-night gala, Chaz Ebert, his widow, told a reception at the University of Illinois&rsquo; president&rsquo;s home that every year after Ebertfest, on their way back to Chicago, the couple would write down movies to show next time. Before he died, Roger left her a long list, of dozens of movies to show.
