Funeral services for legendary Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert will be held Monday at Holy Name Cathedral.

The 10 a.m. service at 730 N. State Street will be open to friends and fans, although seating will be limited.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be sent to The Ebert Foundation, a nonprofit that supports arts and education programs. Donations should be sent to Northern Trust, 50 S. LaSalle St., Chicago, 60603.

A memorial tribute is also being planned for Thursday, April 11, although details have not yet been finalized.

Ebert, 70, died Thursday in Chicago after a battle with cancer. The Pulitzer Prize winning critic reviewed movies for the Chicago Sun-Times for 46 years and on TV for 31 years.

Roeper Movie Reviews

Don Jon (R)

Offbeat, frank and often surprising gem. B+

Rush (R)

âRushâ ranks among the best movies about auto racing ever made, featuring two great performances from the leads. A

Thanks For Sharing (R)

After the bleak brilliance of âShameless,â this is an almost sunny look at sexual addiction. B+

Enough Said (PG-13)

âEnough Saidâ is a rarity. A-

Prisoners (R)

âPrisonersâ is a white-knuckle, near-masterpiece of a thriller; Hugh Jackman delivers the best performance of his career. A

Kick-Ass 2 (R)

All too often âKick-Ass 2â plays like a Comic Con gone insane. C-

âLee Danielsâ The Butlerâ (PG-13)

Forest Whitaker gives one the crowning performances of his career. A

Lovelace (R)

âLovelaceâ is a well-made but grim film. B+

Elysium (R)

This is one of the better action films of the year. A-

âThe Spectacular Nowâ ()

"The Spectacular Nowâ just might be the best movie youâll see this summer. A+

Planes (PG)

âPlanesâ is an almost instantly forgettable adventure. C

Weâre the Millers (R)

âWeâre the Millersâ clicks on just enough cylinders to warrant a recommendation. B-

2 Guns (R)

Preposterous but a bleep-load of fun. B+

The To-Do List (R)

âThe To Do Listâ is raunchy, sometimes smart and hilarious, but more often just disgusting and unfunny. C+

The Wolverine (PG-13)

This is a serious, sometimes dark and deliberately paced story. B+

Blue Jasmine (PG-13)

This is one strange, sometimes uneven but mostly mesmerizing film. A-

Girl Most Likely (PG-13)

Strives for an indie comedy vibe, but this is grim stuff. D+

The Conjuring (R)

Familiar territory, but stylish and filled with SCARE moments. B+

Pacific Rim (PG-13)

A ridiculously entertaining (and often just plain ridiculous) monster-robot movie that plays like that âRock âem Sock âem Robotsâ game from the 1960s. B

Grown-Ups 2 (PG-13)

The comedy is so toothless, the bullies are so cartoonishly stupid and the physical jokes are so obviously staged. D+

The Heat (R)

One of the most entertaining movies of the year. A-

White House Down (PG-13)

The Bling Ring (R)

Emma Watson is comedic gold A-

Monsters University (G)

This is a safe, predictable, edge-free, nearly bland effort from a studio that rarely hedges its bets. C+

Entertaining as hell. B+

Man of Steel (PG-13)

Thereâs very little humor or joy in this Superman story. C+

I could go the rest of my life without seeing another grotesque, screeching monster with deadly pincers D

Now You See Me (PG-13)

We donât spend enough time with the trickster thieves to care about them D+

Epic (PG)

The story is just OK C+
