Bye, Bye Hollywood Sign... at Least Temporarily [Updated]
One Way to Take Care of Business
Go ahead, call it a comeback.
The world's most famous film reviewer Roger Ebert, on the heels of recovering from cancer surgery will be reading from his latest book "Awake in the Dark: The Best of Roger Ebert".
Although we haven't always been a huge fan of the guy, much preferring Gene Siskel, how can't you give a guy some props while on his road to recovery?
A true lover of film and a television icon and ground-breaker, Ebert will be reading at 447 N. Canon Dr. in Beverly Hills at 7pm. And for those of you who read his columns, he has returned to giving thumbs up and thumbs down to Hollywood's masterworks and can be seen on his website.

Are you 100% sure about this? Duttons website shows 2 other people appearing today, but no Roger Ebert. http://www.duttonsbeverlyhills.com/MasterCalendar.htm
Last I heard, Roger was still in the hospital and learning how to walk again with a physical therapist. Doesn't sound like he's in any condition to make a trip to LA...
I like Roger Ebert. His film reviewing is accesible to mass audiences yet it's still smart, well-informed and comes from a genuine love of film. Unlike many film critics, especially as they age, he has not become some bitter, old man with an axe to grind. Plus, this is the man who wrote Beyond the Valley of the Dolls!
