Point Break was a surprising good movie. Swayze and Reeves were great. Didn't care for the remake though.

While not Mike Nichols's best film, Regarding Henry is a lot better than they give it credit for.

Boyz N The Hood is still amazing, one of the ten best movies of the 90s. I'm glad Siskel & Ebert praised it - they were able to spread the word about a lot of smaller film and lesser known directors.

The sad part is that back then, all these wannabe thugs were causing trouble at theaters and even a few actors in the film plunged deep into gang life. The message of this masterpiece was completely lost on them.

Kathryn Bigelow won the Oscar for Hurt Locker, but I still believe Point Break is her best. It's cinematic gold. I don't care if it's a bit silly. It's memorable and thrilling, and even sneakily touching. How can you not feel something at that ending?

The only reason it’s not regarded as such is because of male jealousy! Keanu is just too perfect! Males can’t handle that! He’s an action star and sensitive , loving, and caring! Too much for the male ego- still haven’t caught up!

Yea all the big critics hated it. They thought it was too nice & nest & worked out into a nice perfect bow when in reality the situation would be much harder & tragic. It's like the wound to his head was not a big deal but the wound to his artery did all the damage bc he had a heart attack from that & lost oxygen to the brain. I'd think he would be mentally I'm much worse shape. He would have serious brain damage. He seems more like an amnesia patient & I guess the critics felt he got his strength in walking & talking back far too quickly as we see that the daughter is the same age as when he was hurt. Also I knew someone who had serious damage to the right frontal lobe which controls impulses & decision making & memory of everything before he had the buke accident. He remembered everything he learned in school like geography math & facts. Those things are in another part of the brain. I get the dr Said his brain was not damaged & I'm sure their are rare cases that a bullet to the head does not kill a person & they recover fine. Jj abrahams wrote the screenplay & after seeing how horrible the Disney star wars are I think hes untalented. I mean the two of the movies he wrote & directed were awful blatant rip offs of the original two the guys a hack. I did not see the 2nd & 3rd of the trilogy bc I was so dissapointed in the first one. U get the original 3 heroes back & the 3 dont share one scene. They had poor mark hamill work out like crazy fly to Ireland just for the big cliffhanger. It's like ok we have no clue how to make these so let's just have luke as the big cliffhanger. To me that was such a manipulative move to milk the audience for nostalgia. Fine u want nostalgia I would have loved to see Luke han & leia in one scene together bc they killed off han as Harrison always felt they should ( I believe harrison wanted out bc he was becoming a big movie star & didnt want to come back for the 3rd one. If he did not hit it big w/ indiana jones & started a new epic franchise he would not have been the one to break out to the a list. After star wars was a huge smash Harrison mage like 4 movies that bombed badly. But I digress) I just think abrahams has always stunk & I cant imagine his career recovered from star wars & him ruining star trek.

My only problem with the reviews they did for Boyz is that they likely attended a pre-screening. I say that bc Siskel said they took out a blue football and the gang took it. Anybody who's seen this knows it was a regular football. But later on in the movie when Ricky is watching Army recruiting commercials, he's holding onto a blue football.

@Pushateetee83 2 жыл бұрын

He usually critiqued films from one of two lenses. His subjective inner child, or his overzealous inner intellectual. And often times he held too tight to that lens and it didn’t allow him to see a film for what it really was. In the end, art is about intent. And too often he missed the intent.

@idiot5735 2 жыл бұрын

Ebert was more open to just enjoying a movie rather than blasting it bcz it wasn’t he expected or wanted. But they agreed and disagreed a lot bcz the movie wasnt what they wanted and didn’t play out the way they thought it should. Classic example is high school comedies from the 80’s. They both constantly complained that the movie wasn’t smart enough. Not realizing that a movie like better off dead was meant to be a wacky comedy. It’s not smart bcz it’s not meant to be. I’m going off in another direction now, not the best at expressing my thoughts, but basically saying they both disliked movies bcz it wasn’t what they expected. But ebert was more open to just enjoy a movie than Siskel was, instead of over criticism for no good reason. Taking their role as film critics a bit too serious. But I can’t blame them for that. There’s nobody who’s a more famous film critic than siskel and ebert before or since. Not even close.

Siskel & Ebert know absolutely nothing about recovering from a brain-injury. I was brain-injured when I was 15 years old in a 40mph road traffic accident as a pedestrian (1988). When I saw this 1991 film it absolutely devastated me in floods of tears, as it hit exactly so many notes of my experience. The not remembering who I was, who I was supposed to be. The having to learn to walk and talk, and everything again like an infant. Being surrounded by people who are supposed to be supportive, but feeling completely isolated by them, judged by them, and abused by them. Brain-injury isn't something that you can turn on and off, when you have brain-injury you have it for life, it changes everything. Friends who say they will always have your back, disappear over time as you slowly become an inconvenience to them as their priorities change, the same with family members. Until you're completely alone, unwanted. Then comes the depression, and the self-hatred. No head-injuries are the same, they affect people in different ways, and to differing levels individually. One day I might know who a person is by their surname only, the next day I may not recognise them, or be able to recall them at all. It's so weird to be able to describe in words you can understand, if you haven't had a brain-injury. You constantly feel inferior to everybody else, you feel that you are surrounded by people who can't or choose not to understand you. I'm 50 years old now, 35 years since the road accident. I still can't describe it. Everything is physically the same in the world, but perceptions of it are vastly different. My brain-injury is so complex because it affects my long/short-term memories, thought processing and information processing dysfunctions, social interaction, perception, balance co-ordination, etc etc etc. I could go on forever trying to list all the problems that I have. Each of the dysfunctions that I have interact with each other and exacerbate each other that things become super-complex for me. So social interaction becomes a labyrinthine issue that I can't even begin to plan for or tackle. Best thing I can do is stay home away from everybody else. Siskel & Ebert totally don't know what they're talking about with Regarding Henry. I think it's a fantastic film.

Siskel is such a nitpicker critiquing Point Break for the Reagan and Nixonisms, like the guy in the Nixon mask saying, " I am not a crook", while robbing a bank was actually funny. I can understand why a lot of people couldn´t stand him. Also Regarding Henry is not a bad movie at all.
