Siskel & Ebert - Queens Logic, Run, Meet the Applegates, The Vanishing, Home Alone

[@CR41489]

“The Vanishing” from 1988 is disturbing as hell and that ending… haunting is putting it mildly. Obsession leads to tragedy. An extremely well made film. I have to agree with Roger on this one.

[@reneedennis2011]

You're right. It's haunting because it doesn't have the typical Hollywood happy ending.

[@drumtum]

It is a very strong movie.

[@drumtum]

@@reneedennis2011 And then the same director remade it in Hollywood with a Hollywood ending. A much weaker movie.

[@reneedennis2011]

@@drumtum I know. That reeks.

[@timfrye3586]

Yeah, great film and a terrible remake. Even Jeff Bridges was horrible. Really horrible.

[@yournamehere6002]

I love QUEENS LOGIC!

[@delbongo]

Run is pretty mindless but very entertaining. Old school Saturday night shlock.

[@bobbya9722]

Yep. The kind of movie you would catch late at night (or possibly the afternoon) on cable in the 90s

[@matthewschwartz6607]

So, they changed their mind about Home Alone?

[@ricardocantoral7672]

No. They just analyzed why it was such a hit.

People have trouble with movie critics being "out of touch" with what the public likes. I think they gave two thumbs down to _Crocodile Dundee,_ but then had to revisit it (like _Home Alone_ here) to explain why everyone liked it and kept going to see it. However, if a critic likes something that doesn't do well, I don't see people piling on to shame them. You just got to find one that shares your tastes, and with Siskel and Ebert you have two to choose from, (later Ebert and Roeper) who debate as opposed to Leonard Maltin, Arch Campbell, Gene Shalit, Grace Randolph and so on who do solo acts.

[@reneedennis2011]

Men Don't Leave is a good movie.

[@JamminOnThe1]

As good of an actor Kevin Bacon is, he is not convincing as a “Queens guy”. His accent is not authentic to say the least.

[@nicktaylor2657]

Meet the Applegates is got to be one of the dumbest idea for a movie I've ever seen 🤨

[@ricardocantoral7672]

I've seen a lot worse.
