Farewell to At the Movies



This weekend was the last airing of one of the longest run television shows to showcase the power of film and film criticism.

It ended with a "Rent It" and a "Skip It" to THE EXPENDABLES.

The duo dubbed "The Revenge of the Nerds" never tried to out-do the legendary Siskel and Ebert pair. They simply wanted to talk and provoke the viewer into talking.

Michael Phillips said it best:


"Wherever and however we choose to experience them, the movies challenge and delight us, and for many of us, a lively passionate conversation about movies is one of the great pleasures in life. For those of us lucky enough to have those conversations for a living, this show has always meant more than we can properly express."


Thank you for the memories.
