      Same here. I even saw "My Dinner with Andre" when it finally came to Sacramento a year later. Just two guys talking while spending time at a nice restaurant. Basically doing what Siskel & Ebert do on television, except without the dinner. I'm pretty sure "Diva" was another one I went to see because of those two. But I was also eager to see films that they both panned like "Reservoir Dogs" and "Brazil," and I can't say I agreed with them on those two.

      - Both duos worked together despite their arguments and differences of opinion, but they realized that they worked better together than apart.*
      - To be the most successful, they would have to put aside their personal egos to focus on what would help them produce the best work possible.*
      - Simply because you can't help but think of one name without the other, we automatically put their names together by habit!*
      (*Until Cher's later career, anyway.)
      Also, just for fun on a silly side-note, how bizarre/cool would it be to see them back in the early 70's if their vocations were switched in a parallel universe?
      We would have: "At The Movies: Sonny Insulted By Cher" and especially,
      Siskel & Ebert's short-lived weird Country-Latin-Polka-Funk fusion hybrid supergroup with Xavier (Cugat): "The S.E.X. Factory"!

    I remember seeing "Six Weeks" many years ago on cable, and I couldn't believe or understand why this film was made, or why Mary Tyler Moore or Dudley Moore would appear in it; maybe the Producers thought it would be cute to cast two actors with the same last nane.
    The scenes were incredibly contrived, the little girl was beyond Yoda-like in her acceptance of her impending death, and the movie felt like it was written by a Hallmark card writer who created a card called "So You're Dying...."
    I'm glad there aren't cards out there like that, but if there were, it would be like this film.
    When the girl finally Does die at the end, the emotions were so forced and contrived it was painful and embarrassing to watch. I'm surprised they didn't make a sequel where they shock her back to life and then unsuccessfully give her chemotherapy, and call the movie "Another Six Weeks".....

      both in the US and Canada.
      If that's not enough for you, "Six Weeks" was presented by Polygram Filmed
      Entertainment and produced by Peter Guber, Jon Peters, Rob Cohen for the
      Guber-Peters Company with Helen Bartlett Bill for Barnstorm Films.

    Porky's seemed to be part of a disturbing trend of films in the '80s that featured male characters who got away with treating women horribly. Films like Revenge of the Nerds were unfortunately successful for some reason and some of that mentality even creeped into other '80s films like The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles. Horror films of that decade actually were more empowering for women than some mainstream opinions gave them credit for. The protagonists in films like Revenge of the Nerds would've been highlighted as villains and heroines in those horror films would've pounded the crap out of those guys.

    Speaking of Inchon, I love the quote from Sir Laurence Olivier about why he agreed to do the movie. “People ask me why I’m playing in this picture. The answer is simple. Money, dear boy. I’m like a vintage wine. You have to drink me quickly before I turn sour. I’m almost used up now and can feel the end coming. That’s why I’m taking money now. I’ve got nothing to leave my family but the money I can make from films. Nothing is beneath me if it pays well. I’ve earned the right to [darn] well grab whatever I can in the time I’ve got left.” Instead of making some spiel claiming the film was some great work, he was honest enough to admit he knew he didn’t have much time left and wanted to make as much money to leave to his loved ones as possible. Sure enough, his health had been in decline for years when Inchon was made, and he passed away in 1989.

    Amityvill II was better than the original in that it was a retelling of the Defeo murders (albeit with alot of artistic licence) & merged with the demonic backstory made up by Lutz to cash in. It only went downhill in its further sequels. While Porkys was great teenage fun set in the 1950s & was never meant to be taken seriously. In the UK the Carry On films are similarly misogynistic with its slapstick comedy of its time but are a British institution.

I really appreciated the fact that he was willing to see past the hype surrounding certain films and examine them more honestly than the vast bulk of reviewers. Sure I had disagreements with him just as Gene did, but I could pretty much always see his point. And really most "cult classics" are actually terrible movies that people have now merely come to see through the lens of nostalgia. He was often even right on contemporary "good" movies that really didn't stand up under the light of critical scrutiny. I particularly appreciated his often scathing analysis of Oscar choices more driven by Hollywood politics than any real measure of quality.

    I wonder if Pavarotti was dubbed. I didn’t expect that voice coming from him.

    Pavarotti was my favorite opera singer and I can’t blame him for trying but this was a major swing and a miss

      It wasn't so bad. The only thing that really disappointed me was that it had NOTHING to do with the rest of the Halloween franchise.

      Yeah it wasn’t that bad. Far from worst of the year. And I like the idea of departing from Michael Myers

      Calling it "Hallowe'en 3" when Michael Myers never appears in the movie was one of the worst marketing decisions in film history. However, "Season Of The Witch" is actually a neat little movie that is more appreciated now than it was at the time of it's release. A cult favourite.

      @@gallery7596 I agree. I think that's why it was so looked down upon when it was first released. It's like releasing a Friday the 13th movie without Jason or a Nightmare on Elm Street movie without Freddie Krueger. Fans of the franchise were just disappointed.

      I like "H 3"
      Fantastic original story.
      Much better than any of the other Halloween sequels
