We all knew it was coming but it finally happened this weekend when the final episode of "At The Movies" aired with reviews of Eat, Pray, Love, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, and The Expendables. Co-host Michael Phillips (of the Tribune) gave a brief farewell at the Trib recently and Roger Ebert had previously taken to his blog to share some thoughts on the end of the show's run. You can watch clips, including a seven minute tribute to the history of the show, on the show's site and WBEZ's 848 had on TimeOut Chicago's Hank Sartin and IFC.com's Alison Willmore to discuss the show's impact, those thumbs, and where film reviews go from here.

After the jump, for old time's sake, an old opening from At The Movies' early days.
