Siskel & Ebert: 3-23-96

Gene Siskel & Roger Ebert reviews "Diabolique" (An American Remake of the 1955 French Psychological thriller that was co-written and directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot. This time, directed by Jeremiah Chechik about a cruel, abusive headmaster of a boarding school who was murder by his wife and her mistress before the body is missing and a detective is solving and finding evidence. Starring: Sharon Stone, Isabelle Adjani, Chazz Palminteri and Kathy Bates. ; "It’s My Party"; "Flirting with Disaster" (An Incredible Dysfunctional Comedy about the search for his real parents from Writer/Director, David O Russell. With Ben Stiller, Patrick Arquette, Mary Tyler Moore, Alan Alda, Lily Tomlin and Tea Leoni.); "Girl 6" (A Phone Sex Comedy with an all-star cast from Spike Lee.) and "Little Indian, Big City" (A 1994 French Children's Comedy that Disney's subsidiary, Touchstone Pictures in North America and TFI International had brought in. Before it was remade with "Jungle 2 Jungle" a year later with Tim Allen, Martin Short and Sam Huntington. From director, John Pasquin. Unfortunately, this original was poorly dubbed in English with "Until September" star, Thierry Lhermitte as a Stock Broker who met his native son from an Amazon jungle and was brought to France to stay for the weekend. It's a interesting concept for a foreign feature, but a strange tribal comedy. Personally, I love "Jungle 2 Jungle" way better than the original unlike "Siskel & Ebert" and the American Critics who panned it, for the humor of Tim Allen, Martin Short and the craziness on the tribal culture of all!)

Video Pick of the Week: Siskel's Pick is the Sports Documenatary, "Hank Aaron: Chasing the Dream". And a recap of Today's program.
