2011_1_31_ebert.jpg If you watched Roger Ebert Presents At The Movies over the weekend, you may have noticed Ebert's review of exorcism thriller The Rite (which won the weekend box office battle) was voiced by none other than the beta for Ron Burgundy himself, CBS 2's Bill Kurtis. The marriage of Ebert's prose with Kurtis' voice is a media fantasy dream.

Ebert's thumbs-up review of The Rite is available for viewing by clicking here. Roger Ebert Presents At The Movies airs Fridays at 8:30 on WTTW.
