Review of The Blues Brothers (1980)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 25 Jun 2015

Review of Saving Private Ryan (1998)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 07 Jun 2015

[Saving Private Ryan] accomplishes something I had been taught was most difficult -- making an action-filled anti-war film or, at least, one…

Review of Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 29 May 2015

Review of Schindler's List (1993)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 May 2015

Director Steven Spielberg has achieved something close to the impossible--a morally serious, aesthetically stunning historical epic that is…

Review of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 12 May 2015

This middle portion of the picture becomes dangerously preachy, but just before we and Max are bored, director Miller returns Max to his roots,…

The script by writer-director Boaz Yakin is fresh itself, marrying the physical violence of Fresh's world with the intellectual violence of…

Review of Fresh (2009)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 20 Apr 2015

Review of A Year of the Quiet Sun (1984)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 13 Mar 2015

Review of Talk Radio (1988)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 13 Mar 2015

The film has a purposefully repellent but fascinating quality. Bogosian`s performance, based on his stage play, is spectacularly demented…

Review of Do the Right Thing (1997)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 03 Mar 2015

This might sound like a depressing story, but the level of performance and filmmaking is so high that Do the Right Thing becomes a most entertaining…

Review of Do the Right Thing (1989)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 03 Mar 2015

This might sound like a depressing story, but the level of performance and filmmaking is so high that Do the Right Thing becomes a most entertaining…

Review of Navy Seals (1990)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 26 Feb 2015

Review of The Hunt for Red October (1990)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 11 Feb 2015

Clancy is known for writing difficult books, but the movie makes plausible a preposterous situation because of Baldwin's convincing, low-key…

Review of She-Devil (1989)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 05 Feb 2015

Seidelman, Strugatz and Burns are so busy systematically constructing Barr's revenge and keeping her smugly vindicated, they fail to realize…

Review of Cry-Baby (1990)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 21 Jan 2015

For a while the actors seem intimidated by the `50s references, but the film eventually develops a musical energy that carries the day…

Review of To Live and Die in L.A. (1985)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 19 Oct 2014

Friedkin isn't nearly in enough control of his material for the film to qualify as an artwork, yet it's one of his few films with a real emotional…

Review of Stay Tuned (1992)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 23 Sep 2014

The parodies are funnier than any of the dialogue between Ritter and wife Pam Dawber…
