'Ebert & Roeper' To Unveil Largest Online Collection of Video-Based Movie Reviews
The renowned movie review show At The Movies with Ebert & Roeper has announced that its website will unveil the largest online collection of video-based movie reviews.
This new website feature dubbed "The Balcony Archive" is said to be the first of its kind, offering an unprecedented library of 5,000 reviews, all searchable by movie title, director or actor.
Users will now be able to watch both current and classic movie reviews spanning more than
20-years of Ebert & Roeper and Siskel & Ebert. Current theatrical and DVD release reviews are posted to the website following each weekly broadcast of Ebert & Roeper and now the complete collection will be made available for online viewing.
Each video-based movie review features the lively discussion that has made the review show popular for decades. Whether the critics agree or disagree, they offer passionate, informed and entertaining critiques, assigning either "thumbs
up" or "thumbs down." With the launch of this momentous online tool, movie lovers can watch a current release movie review before heading to their local theatre, or they can research a classic title before deciding to rent or purchase on DVD. Whether it's the best movies of all time, the biggest box-office bombs or the most heated debates between Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel, fans of the big screen now have an all-access pass to the unmatched footage.
"For years this was a dream," says Roger Ebert. "Now I am exhilarated that it is a reality, thanks to the enormous effort of digitizing something like 1,000 programs. It is always fascinating to go back and see what was being said about a film before it opened. The disagreements, between me and Siskel and Roeper, will be fun to revisit, and even more exciting will be our sense of discovery when we find something like Boyz N the Hood, Fargo, Hoop Dreams, or Monster. I may start searching around in this archive and never stop!"
