Siskel & Ebert: 4-20-96

Gene Siskel & Roger Ebert reviews "Celtic Pride" (At least it's a better comedy than "Getting Away With Murder" that Dan Aykroyd stars in. But I actually like this sports comedy with Daniel Stern, Dan Aykroyd and Damon Wayans. Judd Apatow also wrote and produced it!); "Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie" (The best part of this episode! I'm a fan of MSTK3000 and Rifftrak and this movie within a movie is hilarious and excellent! Where they were screening "This Island Earth" and riffing it!); "Mr. Winterbourne" (I actually enjoy this romantic mystery comedy with Ricki Lake, Shirley Maclaine and Brendan Fraser. From director, Richard Benjamin.); "The Substitute" (Another crime inner-city high school with gangs thriller with Action even in the third act. Also, one of the first films Orion Pictures had co-produced with Live Entertainment (later Artisan and now Lionsgate). Became a film franchise later with Treat Williams. Starring: Tom Berenger, Ernie Hudson, Glenn Plummer, Marc Anthony and Diane Venora); "Fear" ("SO LET ME IN THE HOUSE!" Mark Wahlberg's psychotic performance as a 23 year-old man David McCall falling in love with a sweet 16-year-old girlfriend Nicole Walker (Reese Witherspoon) who they met at a nightclub and does win the heart for her family. On the other hand, her workaholic father, Steven (William L. Peterson) wants him banned for good because of his violent sociopath behavior, his gang of thugs and his possession and invasion! Not a good thriller from director, James Foley. Also stars Alyssa Milano and Amy Brenneman.) and "Sweet Nothing". And a recap of Today's program.
