Siskel & Ebert: 3-20-99

Note: Found a much better copy of the episode in high quality compare with the low and rough one Taylor aka "VHSGoodiesWA" has. Plus, it's not available on Larry's site anymore.

Roger Ebert & Guest Critic, Howie Movshovitz from Colorado Public Radio: University of Colorado, Denver reviews "True Crime" (Not to be confused with the video game of the same title or any other. This is truly a powerful Clint Eastwood's Drama about a struggling reporter on the investigating of an innocent family man sentenced to capital punishment for the murder of a young girl. Also stars, Isiah Washington, James Woods, Denis Leary, Diane Venora, Frances Fisher and Michael Jeter.); "Ravenous" (An underrated Dark Horror Western Comedy/Thriller about cannibalism in the 19th century Colorado Frontier leading to Wendigo spirituals and all. Starring: Guy Pearce, Robert Carlyle, Neal McDonough, David Arquette and Jeffrey Jones. Directed By: Antonia Bird.); "The King and I" (Morgan Creek's produced musical animated feature based on Rogers and Hammerstein's adaptation. Very underrated! I saw it in theaters while I was on Spring Break vacation. Not perfect but I enjoy it. But it's obvious this was release prior to "Anna and the King" several months later with Jodie Foster and Chow Yun-Fat); "Forces of Nature" (A complicated and contrivance mess of a Romantic Comedy filled with the overused of nauseating MTV-style cinematography and editing with Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock all trapped together after a plane crash with no chemistry whatsoever!) and "The Harmonists".

Video Pick of the Week: "Grave of the Fireflies" (A Powerful and Emotional War Anime Drama that will lead you bound for tears!) And a recap of Today's program.

Recorded on KATU ABC 2 in Portland, Oregon with Commercials intact.
