Ebert & Roeper: 6-22-02

Note: Has lousy tape heads and tracking issues throughout the video. Only the "Lilo & Stitch" review was improved as I stitched (no pun intended) Larry Koehn's Al-Enhanced Video from the Original defunct "atthemoviestv.com" website. If a better copy is found, I'll reupload it!

Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper reviews "Lilo & Stitch" (The Original Animated Classic that's still awesome even in 2025 after that live-action remake which was decent but not as strong! After the Renaissance era had ended, Disney was going for a much-anticipated dark and edgy but with cute tones and incredible story with a nice blend of CGI and Digital Ink and Paint. A Sci-Fi Story about an Alien Creature who escapes to a Hawaiian Island whom he meets a young girl and disguise as a dog. Directed By: Chris Sanders who also voices "Stitch". Starring: Daveigh Chase, Tia Carrere, Ving Rhames and Jason Scott Lee. Roeper is full of crap as usual and the way he's acting like he's Siskel made my skin crawl with the "Child in Peril" speech! I rather watch this film ten times more than that lame "Scooby-Doo" live-action remake anyday and I strongly agree with Ebert on this excellent review and film!); "Sunshine State"; "The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys", "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "Juwanna Mann" (Very Stupid Sports Comedy with the same recycled formula of a man cross-dress as a woman. Starring: Miguel Nunez, Jr., Tommy Davision and Vivica A. Fox.)

Thumbs Up Video: Ebert's pick is "The Royal Tenenbaums" (2001) and Roeper's pick is "Gardens of Stone" (1987) (Surprise to see this on the program after I found the 1987 episode.) And a recap of Today's Program.
