Celebrate Life Itself on Blu-ray This February

The acclaimed documentary focused on the life of celebrated film critic Roger Ebert is finally coming to Blu-ray on February 17th.  I was one of many who found a lot to like about this Steve James documentary, as it not only shed some life on the man who meant a lot for many (a true accomplishment for a simple Chicago film critic), but provided an entertaining and emotional amount of insight on a lot that came with Ebert, such as his relationship with friend/foil/fellow critic Gene Siskel.  Find out for yourself with the Blu-ray for Life Itself and learn more about its release in this post.
