Siskel & Ebert: 2-14-99

Note: Another episode without Gene Siskel with Roger Ebert in his lonely self alone and it was about a week before Siskel's death on February 20th. Also, this was the only episode that shows his "Thumbs Up/Down" rating during those reviews long before that became common with "Ebert & Roeper" since 2001.

Roger Ebert reviews "Message in a Bottle"; "My Favorite Martian"; "Children of Heaven" and "God Said, HA!"

And "Oscar Surprises": Ebert talks about the surprising Academy members who voted and those who snubbed the choices on nominations such as "Saving Private Ryan"; "Life is Beautiful"; "Affliction"; "The Truman Show"; "There's Something About Mary", "Best Actor/Actress"; "Best Director" categories and more. And a recap of Today's program.

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