i remember this time period where they had guest critics on every week and it had that feeling that they were trying to find someone they thought had the right chemistry to fill in the gap of Genes loss. and i always thought people would be blatantly coming in and brown nosing to try to get that spot, but damn this women is pulling no punches LOL. guess she didnt want the gig.
Magnolia & Topsy-turvy are great 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐. I use to like Bicentennial man but I agree, it just repeat everything & not come up anything new - no journey, no adventure 👎🌟🌟.
Poor Roger had bad luck with the movie Magnolia. Here, when he first reviewed it with Joyce Kulhawik, she bashed the movie while he adored it. Later on, Joel Sigel had it on his worst of 1999 list much to his dismay.
One of the best movies made in the last 25 years gets a thumbs down and she gives Stuart Little a thumbs up? I think she was just trying to be a contrarian here.
Magnolia 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️ & a half out of 4 Stuart Little 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bicentennial Man 👎⭐️⭐️ Anna & the King 👍⭐️⭐️ & a half out of 4 If you can find more episodes from 1999 would be appreciated 👍
Roger, I'm sorry if I'm putting words in his mouth, didn't enjoy Joyce Kulwahik at all lol. Between this and Gladiator, the contention was sharply noticeable
Absolutely hated Bicentennial Man, and I should have liked it. I enjoyed Asimov's original story - it's one of my favorite Asimov stories - but I hated the expansion novel written by Robert Silverberg, and I am convinced the movie takes more from THAT than it does Asimov. Silverberg, in my opinion, changes the character of the robot Andrew Martin and expanded many scenes that simply did not need expanding. If people complain about how dry Asimov's writing style is in the original, well, it IS Andrew's story, after all - he's learning about humanity as we learn about him. Silverberg's novel keeps us apart from Andrew, and I didn't think the novel was necessary. The movie falls back on Robin Williams' "the man who learns to be human by the power of laughter" shtick. I didn't like it in Patch Adams, and I definitely don't like it in Bicentennial Man. Asimov's novella focuses on the nature of humanity, what does it mean to be human, and the character of Andrew Martin is fascinating for his journey. The movie ... is about the power of laughter, and the journey for humanity is incidental. That robot suit doesn't help either - I am distracted every time I see it. It does not look real for a second. It looks like - and probably felt like - a 1950s robot costume. And, Williams' performance gets MORE robotic when shorn of the suit! How is that even POSSIBLE?!!
I mean there were some great ones like Dead Poets Society, One Hour Photo, Death to Smoochy (yes I like that film) Insomnia, and Mrs. Doubtfire but yeah. Bicentennial Man, Patch Adams, Jakob the Liar, and Flubber are the bottom of the barrel for him.
