Siskel & Ebert review (1994) - Crooklyn, Clean Slate, The Crow, BabyFever & Sunday's Children 

Gene missed the mark with The Crow 🙄 Also, greatly appreciate these uploads.

Dana Carvey was also in Alan Parker's The Road to Wellville. The same year he did Clean Slate. Sadly he passed away last year. R.I.P Brandon Lee, Siskel, Ebert and Alan Parker.

The Crow rocks :)

Crooklyn 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟 Babyfever👍🌟🌟🌟 I seen Sunday's children & it is very good 👍🌟🌟🌟

R.I.P. Brandon Lee

Crooklyn and Dunday's Children are good movies.

18:01 Roger Ebert goes Supernatural on Gene Siskel:)

What could have been, with father and son..

I love the movie The Crow not only did it showcase Brandon Lee's talent but it was artfully done and I loved the love story/revenge story. A man coming back from the grave to avenge he and his girlfriends deaths.

I’m usually with Rog, but Gene was spot on this episode.

My take on these films: Crooklyn (Thumbs Down) - I didn't like any of these characters and hearing them yell at each other for two hours was just a miserable experience for me. The anamorphic experiment fail was the least of my problems with the film. Clean Slate (Thumbs Down) - I like Dana Carvey's performance, and the idea of the film is an interesting one, also I absolutely love Valeria Golino in everything she does. But, the only thing in the film that made me laugh was the one eyed dog. The Crow (Thumbs Up) - Alex Proyas delivered a visually memorable film and I think the characters are well drawn and portrayed by its cast. Wincott always shines in a villain role, Brandon Lee could have been a huge star had he lived, and Ernie Hudson just adds something to every film he appears in. It's a good one. Additional Note: It's not hard to see why The Secret Garden failed at the box office. It's the kind of story that works great on Masterpiece Theatre, but doesn't hold much relevance to 90s kids. Sometimes, Siskel and Ebert seemed to be so out of sync with what kids liked.

8:56 Burn by the Cure

That wasn't a Third Man homage in Clean Slate, that was The 39 Steps.

So Clean Slate is 1994's "Memento" 🤯 Same premise, very different results. Clean Slate is not as bad as Siskel suggests. Far from excellence, but it's good enough for a lazy afternoon.

😢🎉

They gave Blade Runner thumbs down.

Clean slate has nothing to do with the third man.

The best thing about the Crow was it was the inspiration for the Sting dark character he still uses today

I like parts of crooklyn but overall i dont think its that good. Im so happy i found out why the camera / film looks so different when the younger daughter goes to the suburbs. I always thought they made a mistake while shooting the film.

Clean Slate is my favorite movie of all time. Ive probably seen it a few hundred times

This guy hates everything

The crow is at 12:45

The one time I agree with Gene and not Ebert. The Crow has to be THE most Overrated Movie ever. Why people rave about this... I will never know. Its like Ok at best

I don’t understand y nobody else can make film criticism as popular as they did. There’s no secret here: 2 informed & candid guys

When I see these old clips, I realize Gene Siskel was really awful at predicting what will be considered a classic down the road.
