Roger Ebert
We exist to have our wealth moved up the economic chain out of our reach.
Roger Ebert
Occasionally an unsuspecting innocent will stumble into a movie like this and send me an anguished postcard, asking how I could possibly give a favorable review to such trash. My stock response is Ebert's Law, which reads: A movie is not about what it is about. It is about how it is about it.
Roger Ebert
Sometimes you only need to have a few words with a person to know you would like to have many more.
Roger Ebert
