Big Collection of Roger Ebert Movie Reviews

For someone who counts herself lucky if she manages to see one movie a year, I find myself fascinated with movie reviews. Now I have a giant archive of reviews to go through as the Chicago Sun-Times gives Roger Ebert his very own section with thousands and thousands of reviews: http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=REVIEWS .

The front page has a bunch of recent reviews but I had fun rooting around in the archives. Use the power search to specify genre, star rating, release date, etc. Searching for movies with zero- star reviews got 70 results. Search listings provide the title and a brief excerpt; click the title for the whole review. Unfortunately there's a couple of snags somewhere; The Great Dictator has a search result but no review, not even a one- sentence summary.

In addition to the reviews, this site also contains box office gross information, movies coming soon to DVD, and interviews and essays. And there's a fun movie glossary featuring over 500 movie "definitions" ("Neck Pop Knockout: With the sole exception of Bruce Lee, any character who stretches and pops his neck before a fight scene loses.")
