His colleague Richard Roeper has been doing this weird experiment with anybody and everybody coming on to do film criticism. Last week Jay Leno took a stab at film criticism.
I used to value Ebert's film reviews, but he's gone downhill lately. I still watch his program, but I no longer value his views on movies like I once did. The opinons I now look up to, as far as film reviews are concerned, are on radio station KPCC. The radio station has a Friday radio show called Film Week. Usually two critics rotate on the show with a bunch of other people, with a animation critic, if there is an animated feature about to be reviewed..

he's not but ever since his partner died, he has been more less of himself and a critic not caring as much.

I do watch Ebert and Roeper but I like to make up my own mind when I go to see a movie. Film criticism is a personal choice. What one person likes another can dislike.There is enough publicity and talk shows about the new movies to give you an idea of what it's all about anyway. I prefer interviews with the actors than just critics.

Roger Ebert is undergoing cancer surgery. That's about all I know. His former partner, Gene Siskel, died quite a number of years prior, also due to cancer.
I do know that Ebert is a long time friend of Jay Leno's and asked him to take his place for a short while. Other than that, all I can say is keep in tune to the news and media.

He underwent surgery Friday, June 16, 2006, just two days shy of his 64th birthday, to remove a cancerous growth on his salivary gland.
He was quoted as saying, "This is known as a slow growing and persistent cancer. You live with it." On July 2, 2006, Ebert was hospitalized in serious condition after a blood vessel burst near the surgery site.
He currently remains hospitalized but is recovering.

I read his snippets of movies in Entertainment Weekly and I agree I don't think he's up to par. I don't think he's dying, he had surgery on his cancerous salivary gland. This is the 2nd one, so I feel for the poor guy.

No, and how can you speculate on such things?
