For Roger...

There is always something so dashing about a panama hat

This man has inspired me from as far back as I can remember, before perhaps he was so synonymous with films as he is now. My mother instilled in me a great love for cinema, but it was Roger Ebert who fuelled my passion for film. I read his reviews and follow his career like a teenager following The Jonas Brothers. I am saddened, like many, that his television and radio career is at an end thanks to an unforgiving bout with cancer. However, his reviews still live on in print.
