Matt writes: One of our Far Flung Correspondents at RogerEbert.com, Omer Mozaffar, served as a consultant on the widely publicized Amazon Prime series, "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan," and shared his experiences with us in a must-read essay. Nick Allen penned an enthusiastic review of the show, while Brian Tallerico reported on the 4K Blu-ray releases of past films in the franchise, where the role of Jack Ryan went to Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and Chris Pine (he's played in the show by John Krasinski).
Memories of Roger from those who have met and talked to him over the years.
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO THE EBERT CLUB!
Hollywood has been waiting a long time to give Clint Eastwood an Oscar, and my hunch is, the wait is over. Eastwood's "Unforgiven," an elegiac Western about a retired gunfighter who pulls himself together for one final campaign, will win the best picture award when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gathers on the night of Monday, March 29.
"Unforgiven" and "Howards End," both about dying castes, one in the old West, one in England, led the 1993 Academy Award nominations Wednesday morning with nine mentions apiece.
