Great critic. Movie reviews haven't been the same since Siskel passed away. I always liked Siskel a bit more, but I did appreciate that Ebert was able to appreciate some trash movies like Anaconda and Tomb Raider. Not many major critics would ever go on the line and give movies like those positive reviews.
I also still remember him giving Femme Fatale 4 stars basically just for the Rebecca Romain naked/lesbian scenes. It was an absolutely terrible movie, but those scenes were most definitely worth the price of admission.
And now for a Simpsons quote!
