Dude, seriously. I was shocked hearing him describe the rock knowing that 20 years later, Everyone from Lindsey Ellis to Every Frame a Painting would repeat verbatim.
I love the way Siskel and Ebert bicker. Their friendship is obvious; they are passive aggressive and take snips that you would only take from a friend.
@@ricardocantoral7672ALRIGHT, LOOK. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THE 1996 BLOCKBUSTER FILM "E R A S E R" WITH ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER FOR WARNER BROS., BY THE WAY. IT'S A MASTERPIECE, YOU KNOW. 🤨
And for independent films from the US and elsewhere (Shine, Secrets and Lies, Breaking The Waves, Lone Star, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Slingblade, and Fargo).
Nixon really was a great movie, I have it on VHS and DVD. Also, I hope either Siskel, Ebert or both of them gave Courage Under Fire a thumbs up. It's one of my favorite movies. I also have it on VHS and DVD.
Independence Day seemed patterned after the 1950's War of the Worlds. The scene where the people are at the dance with welcome signs reminded me of the scene in War of the Worlds where the men march toward the Martians saying "welcome". The endings of the two movies are similar in that they involve viruses. I guess I'm not spoiling anything since the movie has been out for 22 years.
Wow, I strongly disagree with Siskel and Ebert hating on "Independence Day". I think they were way too hard on it. I totally love this movie. It's one of my favorites since "RoboCop", "Terminator 2: Judgment Day", and "Back to the Future". I thought it was very exciting, entertaining, and a lot of fun. The action sequences were fully energized, the story that I also disagree, was so important, the characters were so memorable, and the special effects was fantastic. And I really liked the speeches. My favorite scene is where President Thomas J. Whitmore saying his famous speech to all the military to celebrate born on the Fourth of July. I also liked the scene where Will Smith as Capt. Steven Hiller was dragging an alien with his parachute in a desert, and he says with his funny lines, "And what the hell is that smell!?", then he kicks it three times, and he said, I could've been at a Barbaque!" That was a funny scene and it made me laugh all the time. I know that this movie is actually a complete rip-off and recycled from other alien movies like, "Star Wars", "Alien", John Carpenter's "The Thing", and "E.T. The Extra Terrestrial". But this is a film that it's really totally special, and I really enjoyed it a whole lot. And I know that people lost someone they love, but they had to sacrifice. I really think that this best sci-fi independent popcorn movie of the mid-late 1990s. Sorry, Siskel and Ebert, but this movie was incredibly awesome. Thumbs way up for me on "Independence Day". Independence Day (1996) 4/4 👍👍👍👍
I'll take Cable Guy over Nutty Prof any day. Really bizarre how Roger is trying to type-cast Jim Carrey, basically saying that he should only do things that audiences expect. Sounds like Roger is wrongly holding the movie at fault for misleading advertising. I'm glad Carrey didn't listen, since my 3 favorite Carrey movies turned out not to be comedies - The Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine and Man on the Moon.
I don't love either but Cable Guy was definitely a unique performance from Carrey and directed well by Ben Stiller. Props I give to Nutty Professor is that it's way funnier than the original.
I agree with Gene about the movement in "The Rock". The scene with Sean Connery talking to the owner of the Humvee he stole has crazy camera motions. I thought I was gonna to need some Dramamine & Seizure Meds...Lol
ALRIGHT, LOOK. MY FAVORITE SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER FILMS ARE: 1. M.I. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE (1996 FILM) 2. E R A S E R (1996 FILM) 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟 3. INDEPENDENCE DAY (1996 FILM) 👎👎⭐⭐ 4. TWISTER (1996 FILM)👍🌟🌟🌟
'Independence Day' is a very lousy movie made by the pathetic hack duo of Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich (whose films rival 'Battlefield Earth' in awfulness). It's shitty in a Michael Bay kind of way.
I love watching/listening to these reviews. I think the biggest disappointment is how terrible these VHS transfers are. I realize the tapes probably weren't in the best condition, but I don't think I've ever seen transfers as bad as these on RU-vid (which admittedly could've been butchered in the upload process), and I've done quite a few VHS->DVD conversions.
I couldn't watch it all the way through. Started watching it when it came out on cable, quit watching after (as I recall, it's been a while) Will Smith started punching out an alien. That was enough for me.
Cable Guy was panned when it come out, it really became a cult film 10+ years after. As a black comedy, it was kind of unexpected from Carrey in '96 (before he started doing drama).
It took me a looooong time to appreciate the cable guy. I used to fucking hate this film. So many Cringeworthy moments in that movie. That being said that movie gave us Jack Black and Owen Wilson.
Trump would have said "No one can take on the aliens better than me. No one." Then he would have lost his nerve and sided with the aliens during their first face to face encounter.
