This episode is brought to you by Muneeb Khan. In this episode, Siskel and Ebert review: Dead Man Walking, Cutthroat Island, Waiting to Exhale, Sudden Death, Grumpier Old Men and Restoration.
@@reneperez7903 I can’t speak for hard target, but both of them recommended sudden death. While I do like hard target, the movie is a little bit too flashy to be taken seriously. Sudden Death is just a really good diehard knock off.
@@johnf198207 I give the edge to Sudden Death cuz I enjoyed seeing Van Damme do something different he got to play a goalie no one expected that, he fought the penguins mascot in the kitchen fresh for him the sequences worked a lil more than hard target even though I marginally recommend both.
I actually see Grumpy old men and Grumpier old men as one long good movie. How could you not like it? If Matthau & Lemmon would be alive now in 2024 Grumpy old men would be a successful sitcom on Netflix, mark my words.
Thanks again so much for the upload!! Since i was 16 when this episode came out, I only cared about "Sudden Death" and "Grumpier Old Men" because who doesn't love two old guys insulting each other? Once I got older, I finally saw "Dead Man Walking", and my God, that movie is so powerful. How did it not get nominated for Best Picture? I think it was better than the other 5 nominees - Braveheart is epic, but Dead Man Walking is sublime.
My only problem with Dead Man Walking is the very end SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER, when Sean Penn gives a tearful speech and is put in a crucifixion pose as he's executed. Like Liam Neeson collapsing in tears at the end of Schindler's List, it's an unnecessary piece of mawkishness preceding an extraordinarily powerful two hours of uncompromising drama.
@@KRhetor it is a valid criticism, Penn does go a little over-the-top at the end but the rest of the movie is so good that it doesn't bother me. That's one reason I'm glad Nicholas Cage won the Oscar for best actor.
i didnt know sudden death even existed and i thought i saw most of a Van damme's movies. Retrospectively, especially taking in mind the movie desert of 2010s to today, Van Damme was a damn good 90s action hero. Not at the level of Sly Willis or Arnie, but i can watch a lot of his movies in a guilt free afternoon fun with the guys. Even the cheesiness of the dialogue adds to their appeal.
Waiting to Exhale is amazing the 4 women stories are actually interesting but i agree with Gene Loretta character did take film over and I agree Roger, film should have been harder
I liked Grumpier Old Men more than the original too. They were wrong about the movie but so right about Burgess Meredith. Spectacularly funny performance. Dead Man Walking is incredibly powerful, top 5 of that year to me. Sudden Death is fun too.

@@ThatOldTVThat is much appreciated, I just watched their review of Restoration and I was intrigued by their discussion on Robert Downey Jr. though Gene sadly never lived to see his career took off though I am grateful that Downey Jr. was able to redeem his career after years of off-screen drama and legal troubles.
Thanks for this! Dead Man Walking - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏾 Sarandon and Penn are heartbreaking. Tim Robbins did an extraordinary job. Cutthroat Island - ⭐️⭐️ 👎🏾 The fact that it bankrupted a studio aside, it’s a lousy movie regardless. Geena Davis is way too contemporary for a period pirate movie. Waiting to Exhale - ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍🏾 A ‘90s juggernaut with four appealing actresses in a glossy and soapy film that is entertaining. Sudden Death - ⭐️⭐️ 1/2 👎🏾 I disagree with Gene. Powers Boothe is fun, Van Damme is ok, but the plot is well worn territory. Grumpier Old Men - ⭐️⭐️ 1/2 👎🏾 Lemmon and Matthau are ok. The only thing that worked for me was the love between Matthau and Sophia Loren. Restoration - ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍🏾 RDJ and the sumptuous art direction carries the film
