Siskel & Ebert (1988) - Shoot to Kill, The Serpent and the Rainbow, She’s Having a Baby, School Daze

[@deeboy4378]

Ebert is absolutely correct about serpent and the rainhow. . He pretty much said exactly what I was thinking when I heard Siskle's review. . . It is probably the most authentic zombie movie that's ever been made. . As far as, that is the culture that originated the term zombie, it's where the term comes from, Haiti, Voodoo witch Doctors actually practiced this, and people were turned into zombies in a way. . Zombie slaves, they would use that powder on them, then once they were buried, they would be dug up and taken away to work on sugarcane plantations or whatever the person who zombified them needed a slave for. . It's kind of like a voodoo Shanghai. . And since they're dead, nobody's looking for them.

I sure do miss these guys.

So do I.

Shoot to Kill is my favorite "wilderness thriller". Poitier and Berenger had great chemistry

[@reneedennis2011]

I agree.

[@Blondie472]

Whenever I think of this film the first scene that comes to mind is when Tom and Sid spoon naked in the same sleeping bag..

[@stanswitek]

@@Blondie472 one of many great scenes... I remember Andrew Robinson's death scene the most, including his unforgettable expression before he falls.

Thanks for this channel and the videos you post. I didn’t realize there were so many episodes of siskel and ebert on here

[@tommy1138]

Gene is way off on Serpent and the Rainbow. It's based on a true story and it is truly nightmare fuel. The cinematography, acting and scares are top notch!

[@freemangriffin4953]

The Unbearable Lightness of Being was a great movie! It was released early in 1988 and as a result it got nothing for Oscar nominations. Just a brilliant movie!

[@malichitte]

Very special movie

[@middlefingermotionpictures4772]

Siskel is so fucking wrong about Serpent and the Rainbow. Ebert is absolutely correct on this one. Good job, Roger.

[@vintageretro83]

I know Ebert wasn't diagnosed until 2002 but it's almost like you can see something is wrong with his jaw here.

[@stevegeorge6880]

Not wanting to be mean about it, but are you absolutely certain that it's not just the result of him being fleshier? My guess if he's showing something like a bulge is that there could be an infection resulting from less than absolutely perfect dentistry or a swollen lymph node.

[@vintageretro83]

@@stevegeorge6880 It could very well be. Not certain at all just an observation.

[@karlosoze844]

We're only publicly aware of the final iteration of the illness that took him; Quite rightly, only when it could no longer be kept private. He could have had a decades-long series of issues.

[@jollyjakelovell4787]

Siskel was swinging and missing on that day.

[@mowm88]

15:36 Where Ebert admits he was turned on....not sure we needed that image...

[@tomgcooktown5019]

We needed the honesty .. Just think of what was turning him on if thinking of him bothers you .. TgT

[@Robotron2084psn]

@15:25 The show should be called Ebert & Siskel

[@adamgrimsley2900]

Yep

[@an3ony]

when I first saw the trailer for Serpent & Rainbow, I thought it was going to be insanely awesome. it was mediocre...

[@hungwilliam44]

It really bugs me how Gene keeps basing his reviews on other movies that did it better. Turning your nose up on Shoot to Kill because The Defiant Ones was better is stupid. Stop doing that.

[@jstewlly4747]

Just like he compare Scarface with Godfather it's just a big excuse of him not liking stuff in a movie totally agree

[@matthewschwartz6607]

@@jstewlly4747 - What did he think of Scarface? I know that Ebert liked it (Did he like Carlito’s Way?).

[@patrickshields5251]

@@matthewschwartz6607 Gene hated both Scarface and Carlito’s Way. Roger liked both.

[@hankheavy]

Can't believe they didn't even mention how you don't know who the killer is of the five hikers in Shoot To Kill. I was biting my nails as a kid, thinking who could it be? Is it that guy cause he said this, or is it that guy cause he did that? That part was masterful suspense if you ask me
