Siskel & Ebert (1994) - Love Affair, New Nightmare, Hoop Dreams, The Specialist & Little Giants

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

New Nightmare is a massively underrated movie.

[@olaoluwaafolayan6554]

I loved hearing Ebert laugh offscreen at 8:59 as Siskel was tearing into _Exit To Eden_ so you knew he’d be in complete agreement before he even opened his mouth lol

[@MattSingh1]

Great to see both of them on the right side of history in regard to Hoop Dreams. An incredible doc that is one of the best in film history.

[@Jbaxter85]

Couldn't agree more!

[@dfcintron]

Later ebert's would say it was his #1 movie of the decade

[@crystalshaw8744]

I saw the actual review and was so pleased they loved it.

[@tammymism]

"Even worse and I mean _really_ worse is a slapstick subplot involving Rosie O'Donnald and Dan Aykroyd as a couple of detectives.." 😄

[@pi6835]

New Nightmare was creative and clever, and it thankfully made Krueger scary again.

[@CR055FIRE]

its a scary film but krueger was not scary in it the scariest parts where when he wasn't there

[@ryangettig274]

Siskel&Ebert sure had a Love Affair with Hoop Dreams:)

[@lerm2866]

The makers of Exit to Eden had the nerve to use Bryan Ferrys “Slave to Love” on the soundtrack which reminds one of 9 and 1/2 Weeks a film E to E should have copied

[@Jbaxter85]

I enjoy Wes Craven's New nightmare since original Elm Street, it's intriguing the way they balance between dreams & reality, the stars & filmmakers from series play themselves were great & I enjoy Freddy as well, he's more terrified frightening & dangerous than before. It's clever mad slash thriller 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@jacobrichardson1952]

As an old soul person for 1994, I ain't gonna lie I might watch The Specialist seems like a chill spine cool movie.

[@Xayjohns]

I actually like the movie. And it's got one of John Barry's very best scores. I listen to tracks from it often, in particular "Did You Call Me?". Beautiful.

[@matthewschwartz6607]

Wait, ANNE RICE wrote Exit To Eden? Really? No way!

[@ganglabesh]

new nightmare is the best freddy film. really great stuff.

[@MinisterManDan]

Man Dan Akroyd went on a real cold streak huh

[@sharptoothtrex4486]

20:19 A Thumbs Up for me is that I love Little Giants, including Shawna Waldron as Rebecca "Icebox" O'Shea. Please do not make Shawna Waldron mad!

[@sha11235]

With Little Giants, I remember Lyons and Medved liking it.

[@pi6835]

The Specialist features horrible performances by Stallone, Roberts, Stone, and Steiger, but James Woods alone is worth the viewing.

[@Jbaxter85]

James Woods is the only bright spot for the movie

[@connarcowanakacliffordoneo9095]

Am i the only guy who liked Little Giants? I thought it was funny and likeable. Rick moranis was great in the lead.

[@colerieger7300]

Little Giants is a great movie. It's a kid's movie. It's not some deep meditation on life, it's just a movie. And it's entertaining.

[@mikeysmithh7819]

lol.. "ive been getting negative feelings from her in movies for a long time" - siskel.. coz rosie is a bitter woman, period ..still is

[@schmeltingaccident]

Hahaha I’m gonna defend Little Giants a bit. It’s nostalgia mostly but this wasn’t a bad kids movie. Actually still has a couple laugh out loud moments to this day! Unnecessary, maybe. But their review on this show made it sound like it was only a few steps up from North, a movie that was almost a crime for watching it.

[@adrianstevens165]

Do some 80s

[@vancewoodruff6472]

S&E really didn’t understand what made Little Giants so great. I mean seriously how can anyone not love the “Pitch to Johnny” scene when he runs a TD to his Father. S&E didn’t even bother to mention it and made it look like a played out snooze fest. Maybe it came out at the wrong time..

[@markbraverman9622]

Little giants was a great movie

[@adrianstevens165]

As a child I liked little giants even seen in theaters do they like kid movies?

[@ganglabesh]

theres a lot of kids films they liked

[@Blodia1990]

16:45 Wtf 😂😂😂😂

[@tfronauer]

An ominous omen? That’s the worse kind! 🙄

[@AutistCat]

Love Affair is one of the least reviewed movies ever

[@citygirl5705]

Criticizing "The Specialist" because some other mad bomber movies came right before it is stupid. Does that mean if it had come out right before them it would have been better??? And not everyone sees every movie like Siskel and Ebert do.

[@jasonmarcel4823]

Lol, it wasn't because True Lies "came before it"; it's that BY COMPARISON within the same genre, True Lies, another movie in the same genre from a couple months earlier, was far superior. For people who like that kind of movie, they're saying True Lies is way better.

[@citygirl5705]

@@jasonmarcel4823 Yeah, but Siskel specifically said the explosions seem tired because it's the 3rd mad bomber movie they've seen in the last few months.

[@Swoll826]

I love a good Gene Siskel rant on Sly Stallone

[@ricardocantoral7672]

​@@Swoll826 Sly deserved it. He could have done so much better in his career.

My reviews: out of 5 1 " Love Affair " 2.5 out of 5 2 " Wes Craven's New Nightmare " 2.5 out of 5 3 " Exit to Eden " 1.5 out of 5 4 " The Specialist " 1.5 out of 5 5 " Little Giants " 2 out of 5

[@Jbaxter85]

Disagree your reviews Here's my reviews Love Affair 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wes Craven's New Nightmare 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hoop Dreams 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exit to Eden 👎⭐️ The Specialist 👎⭐️ Little Giants 👎⭐️⭐️

[@ganglabesh]

new nightmare 4 out of 5

[@jacobdehaan4114]

The Specialist is a great movie. I definitely don't agree with them here

[@jamesrogers2382]

New Nightmare was ridiculous.

[@teejaye6226]

Anyone who has seen as many S&E's as I have knows automatically that Siskel was going to hate New Nightmare. More of an eltist critic that Ebert and his reviews were absolutely predictable.

[@drumtum]

I would rather rewatch Exit to Eden than the Specialist, just for some more nudity. Both movies are terrible.
