Roeper Movie Reviews
If you’re looking for Roeper movie reviews, then you must be a fan of Richard Roeper, the columnist/critic for The Chicago Sun-Times and co-host of At the Movies (aka Ebert & Roeper at the Movies and Ebert & Roeper) from 2000 until 2008. He’s also the author of the following books about cinema:
- He Rents, She Rents: The Ultimate Guide to the Best Women’s Films and Guy Movies, with Laurie Viera (1999)
- Hollywood Urban Legends: The Truth Behind All Those Delightfully Persistent Myths of Films, Television, and Music (2001)
- Ten Sure Signs a Movie Character is Doomed, and Other Surprising Movie Lists (2003)
- Schlock Value: Hollywood At Its Worst (2005)
(All these books can be found on Amazon, and buying one will help us pay for the costs of maintaining this site. I could also use a new pair of shoes. )
In February of 2009, fans of Roeper movie reviews were thrilled to hear that he was launching his own website at RichardRoeper.com. In addition to waxing philosophic about sports and politics, Roeper also posts movies reviews in text and video form. The video reviews are done with the cooperation of the Starz cable channel. And like everyone else in the nation, Roeper also shares his thoughts on Twitter.
While he continues to maintain his site, he has also signed a six-figure deal with ReelzChannel within the last few months. From the looks of it, Richard Roeper movie reviews will soon be everywhere.
In case you’re wondering what all the fuss is about, here’s a selection of Roeper film reviews and movie articles currently available. Take a look and marvel at the critical skills that could very well make him the heir to Roger Ebert’s empire. To read the full review, just click on the lick I’ve so graciously provided.
- Best Films of the Decade – Richard Roeper takes a look back at the 2000s and selects his 100 favorite films of the decade. I don’t want to spoil the list, but here are a few of the selections: Monster (#80), Minority Report (#11), Brothers (#18) and The Wrestler (#40). I couldn’t disagree more with his #1 selection.
- Worst Films of the Decade – The yen to the last entry’s yang, this list looks at the worst films of the 2000s. Some of the dubious winners include: Daddy Day Camp (#95), Saving Silverman (#79), The Ugly Truth (#44) and The Love Guru (#8). Linday Lohan makes the top five, as does John Travolta and his monstrous dreadlocks.
- Avatar Movie Review – Roeper joins the legion of film critics who’ve been singing the praises of James Cameron’s latest project. It doesn’t get a perfect A+ grade, but it’s not too far off. This one is a video review, so you can recline and rest your poor eyes for a moment.
- Watchmen Movie Review - Roeper isn’t too impressed with Zack Snyder’s grim superhero epic, calling it “occasionally brilliant, often dull.”
- Observe and Report Movie Review – Roeper mentions that Observe and Report looks like something that might’ve resulted from Quentin Tarantino being handed the script for Paul Blart: Mall Cop. He sums up his thoughts by typing “WTF.”
There are tons more reviews available on the Richard Roeper website, from smash hits like Avatar to Moon, the brilliant science-fiction film starring Sam Rockwell.
