Numerous Hollywood actors and directors have paid tribute to US film critic Roger Ebert who has died aged
70 after a long battle with cancer.
Director Martin Scorsese, who is producing a documentary on Ebert, said
it was “an incalculable loss”.
Steven Spielberg, who Ebert praised for his “talent
and his flexibility”, said it was “the end of an era”.
I’ll keep my tribute short and
sweet because I know there are much more interesting people with much more articulate
things about the great man.
His reviews were always the first
ones I looked for whenever a new movie came out, his love of cinema transcended
his critiquing.
Reading his reviews were often more
interesting and entertaining than actually watching the movie he writing about,
I’ll miss looking out for them in future.
