18:13 X-ray subject: Burt Reynolds' career
20:37 The reviews
The absence of ANY kind of reaction whatsoever from Gene when Roger says he could be one of the Muppet Babies is hilarious. He just stares blankly.
Yeah that was pretty cringey! I didn't really "get it" either -- why would Gene make a good Muppet Baby? -- but he could have at least laughed it off or something.
Eberts appreciation for some low brow comedies of the 80’s (Bachelor Party, Weird Science, Up the Creek) made me an instant fan of his yearly movie guide. He even gave thumbs up to Angel!
Angel wasnt a comedy. It was about a teenage prostitute and it was miserable.
I enjoy Muppets take Manhattan a lot because it's musical classic entertainment for both kids & adults 👍👍🌟🌟🌟
G-rated.
"Hanks is okay in small doses..." Oh, Gene. If you only knew what was coming. lol
And Bachelor Party is great
Burt Reynolds was capable of great work (Deliverance, The Longest Yard, Starting Over, White Lightening, The End...). He also made more than his share of dreck which was frustrating because he was capable of so much more. Similar to Stallone in that regard. Shout out again to JB for posting these - MORE MORE MORE!!!! (-:
Agreed. Both of these guys let their talents go to waste.
He is taking these, I'll bet, from siskelandebert.org. If they get taken down here, go there to watch.
Burt thought Boogie Nights was going to suck and was livid at his agent, then he ends up getting nominated for an Oscar.
The way Gene says Wow tells you everything you need to know about what he thinks of CR2.
This was the first time I ever watched their show on TV.
I got a DVD copy of The Muppets Take Manhattan out of a box of Kelloggs cereal many years ago. They were giving select family films away. I still have it.
Hey thank you for posting old reviews. It’s a must see for us to contrast old views of the movie and the new ways of seeing it now.
Watching a show from 1984 is weird. They had no clue how huge Tom Hanks would be. No idea John Travolta would get not one but two career revivals, and Burt Reynolds would continue to sink into obscurity until Boogie Nights, many years later.
Bachelor Party 10:37 - Siskel describes Hanks as a poor man's Bill Murray.
How wrong are these critics. Obviously anlot of critics out there don’t know what they’re talking about. Sadly, most reviewers still continue just blurting general impressions of a movie, or filling reviews with Wikipedia info unrelated to the piece analyzed. Anywho. Thanks for the timing. This is a timeless classic. Will tou Check my reviews- there’s a few. Trust me: Bachelor Party will become another movie after you see my reviews. Hope to see you there. Cheers
@@el-jayenglish9548 The dumber the humor the better. That's why I love Bachelor Party and why I love Leonard Part 6 even more. Review LP6 and I'll subscribe.
Tom Hanks is absolutely nothing like Bill Murray. WTF?
This was like Tom Hanks second movie. They didn't have a time machine. They aren't saying that about his later work.
best muppet movie
It's very entertaining, especially the Muppet Babies musical sequence, but for me The Muppet Movie is the greatest Muppet movie.
@@gregmeyer1805 i d say thats second best but i loved it
@@movieman104 The case can be made for both for sure. They are both classic and have iconic scenes. In The Muppet Movie you get to hear "The Rainbow Connection" for the very first time. But in The Muppets Take Manhattan you get to see Kermit and Piggy get married. It's hard to choose I know lol
@@gregmeyer1805 good point i do love em both just think manhatten is s bit better
@@movieman104 nah, you aren't allowed to have your own opinion lol j/k. They are both peak Muppets. Once Henson passed away they just weren't the same. Frank Oz did a great job directing Manhattan.
With Last Night at the Alamo, Roger knows more about drinking behavior.
They should have mentioned "The Longest Yard." That movie was terrific.
😂😂😂😂yoooo he said you could be part of that group make it a quartet lol throwin shots
NR Meant The Film had yet to be Rated by the MPAA. And in 1984 They only had G, PG, and R, PG13 came about as a Result of "Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom" being To Hard for a PG Rating, but not Hard enough for an R Rating, So They needed a Middle Ground Rating, Thus PG13 was Invented.
Also Gremlins
Loved the Cannonball Run movies I think it was made for kids even though I didn't know half the actors😏
Bachelor Party was multiple levels of awesome. Gene could sure be a killjoy.
"You,re a pimp? You look like Ghandi." 😅

Bachelor Party

Hearing Tom Hanks described as a "poor man's Bill Murray by way of Michael Keaton", and boy, all three of them had career shifts, huh?
loved CBR2 grew up on it as an 80s kid
For many years now Cannonball Run II is often referred to as Gene Siskel's least favourite of all time, though I did like the first Cannonball Run movie, everything else afterwards I lost interest in.
I seen both cannonball run movies & didn't like any of them
i blame these guys for my obsession with cinema lol
Bachelor party is one of the craziest and funniest comedies ever made, and deeper than many people think
Ebert lists all the good movies that Reynolds made, making the point he needs to submit to good directors. He listed Sharky's Machine. Oops--that was directed by Reynolds.
The Cannonball Run movies are both fun.
I liked the first one ok and I don’t remember hating the second one with a passion as they did I just thought it was a dead horse being beat over and over again. Not a horrible, atrocious film but certainly an unnecessary one.
Reviewers need Reporters Notes, Because Before Rated K for Kids by Kids came to NICKELODEON in 1986, You Needed a Degree in Journalism to be a Media Reviewer.
Burt Reynolds could have had a long great career if he had been focused on better scripts and better movies. He just took big paydays for many years in really bad movies, and later on no one really wanted to hire him. He did great in Boogie nights, and he didn´t even like that great role. I guess his favourite role was in Smokey and the bandit 3. RIP
tom hanks is a poormans bill murray? so gene wasn't a tom hanks fan at first? when did hanks start to grow on him?
As the years went by. Who would've thought he'd grow into that serious actor we have now?
@@sha11235 Hanks was a star from the beginning, and this movie only proves it. BParty is a timeless classic. If you don’t see how amazing this movie is, I invite you to watch a few movies reviews I made - it will elevate the way you watch BParty. Be patient with the jokes I put in the review. Trust me. Hope to see you there. Cheers.
Two years later with Nothing in Common opposite Jackie Gleason (his swan song). Hanks' take on advertisement was perhaps the best parts of the movie.
I didn’t like Bachelor Party now that I think about it. In trying to remember what movies with Hanks I disliked I forgot about and now remember this one along with Nothing in Common. Neither were particularly horrible but they just didn’t really make me laugh or move me like it should have. Early Hanks I much prefer just about anything else except those two.
lol! he's smoking!!
Siskel is wrong on Last Night at the Alamo.
Bachelor Party is a classic!
I'm pretty positive after hanks stellar Oscar winning career he has blocked out bachelor party. Scarily enough the producer if the film based this on his own bachelor party. Pretty scary considering the animal that if it didn't unbelievablly snort tons of drugs was supposed to do some sick crap w/ that hooker/dancer. The movie is just sick. Like ud ever believe some beautiful wealthy girl would pick a creep like hanks plays here. Horrible embarrassing film. I admit at Like 12 I found it funny b/c I was a dumb kid. At 19 I shut it off. I also always hated that guy who played Cole type cast always as the Rich jerk butt of all Jokes. Speaking of butt we get a very unfunny scene if his.
I haven't seen any of these movies.
Y?
@@Jbaxter85 I just didn't get around to seeing them. 🤷🏾♀️
Age ?

@@reneedennis2011 seriously...well aside from Muppets Take Manhattan...you didn't miss much
i just watched the episode where they review "Splash", they made the same poor mans Bill Murray comment about Tom Hanks in that. guess he will never be able to get out from under the shadow of Bill.
Gene comes across like the Hollywood liberals today that just inherently dislike middle America when hes talking about 'Last Night At The Alamo". i sometimes forget how common this side of America was back then when i was a kid growing up in Oklahoma. you had those trucker films and tv shows from the 70s into early 80s, as well as the Dukes Of Hazzard. you had Clint Eastwood doing the any which way films, you had the urban cowboy type films and lots of other things. i never see this side of America really portrayed anymore and certainly not in a very positive light.

@@kdohertygizbur
Agree
Gene couldn't possibly have been more wrong. Last Night at the Alamo is a masterpiece with stellar writing and acting. It's quite a hilarious film as well.
