New Movie Critics' Website: All Thumbs

Me? Always a Siskel guy. When I was a kid, Siskel & Ebert At the Movies was my must-watch TV and my introduction to film criticism. I used to love it when the Chicago newspaper critics would chew each other up. Great stuff. Now you can check out their old reviews on a new website (www.AtTheMoviesTV.com). The full archives of more than 20 years of televised reviews from Ebert, the late Siskel, and columnist Richard Roeper will be up tomorrow. I tooled around the site today and found it well organized and easy to navigate--a great resource for any film afficionado. A definite thumbs up from this long-time fan. From USA Today:

The site is touted as the largest collection of video-based movie reviews online. Searchable by movie title, director or actor, it features about 5,000 lively -- sometimes very lively -- discussions of movies that always end with the reviewers' "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" evaluation.

"For years, this was a dream," Ebert said in a statement. "Now I am exhilarated that it is a reality, thanks to the enormous effort of digitizing something like 1,000 programs."
