Review of Light Sleeper (1992)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 21 Sep 1995

Review of My Fair Lady (1964)

Review of Back to School (1986)

Review of Smooth Talk (1985)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 08 Jan 1994

Here, as elsewhere, one senses that the images are being asked to carry rather more metaphorical weight than they are able to bear…

Review of Desperate Hours (1990)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 22 Dec 1993

Review of Unlawful Entry (1992)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 15 Oct 1993

Review of The Player (1992)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 Aug 1993
