Ebert & Roeper and the Movies is a wonderful show, each week providing new insights on the week's new films. In fact, I only see a movie if I get a recommendation (Two Thumbs Up) from Roger and Richard.
After the death of the great Gene Siskel on February 20, 1999, everyone was worried about the fate of this show. When they announced the new co-host, most people were worried that the memory of Siskel would be forgotten. Well, I'm happy to say that they are doing a great job, and I happen to like the new co-host, Richard Roeper, seeing as no one would ever live up to Siskel. He is a fine reviewer in his own right, though, and his chemistry with Ebert is almost at the level of before Gene Siskel's death. So:
Siskel and Ebert: 9.5 out of 10
Ebert & Roeper and the Movies: 7.5 out of 10
