Movie critic Roger Ebert says he's taking a leave of presence from his film reviews because of a recurrence of cancer.
In his blog Ebert says he's written 306 movie reviews a blog post or two a week and assorted other articles over the past year the most of his career and he must slow down now.
Ebert says a painful fracture in his hip that made it difficult for him to walk was revealed to be cancer but he's taking the news in stride.
So on bad days I may write about the vulnerability that accompanies illness. On good days I may wax ecstatic about a movie so good it transports me beyond illness he says.
In honor of his nearly 50 year career we also wax ecstatic about Ebert's most memorable quotes
