Good news on the Roger Ebert front

Roger Ebert has always been one of my favorite film critics, not because of his TV programs, but because of his reviews that have appeared on the Chicago Sun Times for more than 40 years now. In the last couple of years, Ebert has been battling cancer that sent him to the hospital twice for long periods of treatment. I feared the worst. But, from the looks of this, his health must be improving remarkably because he's in Toronto right now actively covering that city's 33rd film festival, which marks the official start of "Oscar Season."
