February 8, 2010 at 6:39 pm

As someone who was a working film critic for nearly 20 years—and, I'm pretty sure, the only Baptist to win 2 Catholic Press awards for movie reviews—I probably owe Chicago Sun Time film critic Roger Ebert (and his late partner Tribune critic Gene Siskel) a nod of tribute for popularizing such writing.
