Ben Lyons, Ben Mankiewicz At the Movies
You’ve no doubt heard that Richard Roeper and Roger Ebert are leaving the balcony of the movie review show “At the Movies” – and taking their “thumbs-up-thumbs-down” rating with them. But who will replace the empty seats? Ben Lyons, film critic for E! News and Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz will carry the torch when “At the Movies” begins in September.

Ben Lyons is the son of film critic Jeffrey Lyons, while Ben Mankiewicz is the grandson of screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz and great-nephew of director Joseph L. Mankiewicz. Overall, their resumes read pretty well, but will people tune in now that Ebert and Roeper are gone?

    I’m looking forward to seeing Lyons and Mankiewicz but find no
    mention of who will be broadcasting it. ABC, CBS, NBC. . . ??
