Uncle Buck is golden.
Yeah it always made you wonder if these two were watching different films Uncle Buck was incredibly funny and very successful but these two got it so wrong again
The best.
Not really
I think they overthought it
“Ever hear of a tune up?”
“Ever hear of a ritual killing?” 🤣
Meh-hee-hee-hee-hee!! 😂😂
I grew up in Chicago and used to watch these guys on WTTW before they went national. Can't count how many times I watched them over the years...and until then the balcony is closed.
I also miss them
I'm 30 years old and I was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida and I grew up watching them as often as I could. Same with Ebert and Roeper and also At the Movies after Roger passed.
Candy was GREAT as Uncle Buck
Candy and Culkin are both great but the movie isn't
Candy was a great actor n person
I'm Uncle Buck and I'm here to f...
uncle buck was a great movie, i can watch it year after year. More than the great outdoors.
“Tomorrow I’ll drive you to school in my pajamas and WALK you into school.” I used that line on my daughter when she was in middle school
😂😂😄
I love when he goes into the grade school bathroom with a lit cigar and all the stalls are occupied so has to use the little urinal.
The special edition of the abyss has the better ending and is a better film
exactly
The main inspiration for the film was cut... and it special edition restored it.
And it's STILL never seen a Blu-ray release, to say nothing of 4K. Maybe now that Disney owns it, they'll do something with it.
@@LoveStallion Yeah, like put out a lousy 4k transfer.
The Abyss is an amazing movie. Saw it in the theater the first week it came out and loved it, saw it years later at home and loved it, saw the special edition and loved it. I mean what the hell do people want it’s one of the great suspense action films of all time
Despite their trashing it, I kind of want to watch Rude Awakening now. I am pretty high. I should just dive right in.
Oh man that opening theme takes me back to being a kid and never ever missing this show when it was on.
I think it was on at an odd time like midnight or noon on Sunday or something.
Uncle Buck is fantastic! John Candy will always be my all time favorite actor!
Uncle Buck is the movie that made me a John Candy fan.
The Abyss is a stunning yet underrated classic by James Cameron. I'm deeply shocked how much its CGI holds up. As for Uncle Buck, what can I say? That n "Planes" are 2 of John Candy's most iconic films ever from the 80s, especially with the great direction theys was given by the equally late great John Hughes.
Two thumbs down for Uncle Buck?
They said it was like watching two different movies because of the relationship he has with the two young kids and then the one he has with the older teenager. This is a movie you could bring your kids to and all the fun uncle Buck has with the two young ones is entertaining for them. All the stuff going on with a teenager and uncle Buck is for the adults. That’s why I liked this movie as a kid and I also like it as an adult
Yeah they got it dead ass wrong. Uncle Buck is a certified classic these days.
@VanishedPNW they got it wrong on quite a few movies that turned out to be classics. If you watch some of their other episodes from the 80s you will see.
@@Aaron_Scissorhands agreed. And I’ve said the same on those CZcams videos too lol.
Agreed! Critics were after Hughes at the time,extra odd that Ebert panned UB when he one of the few major critics to praise Weird Science
@@Islanders83 He must have had the hots 🔥🔥 for Kelly LeBrock who didn't ❤️🔥😘🥰😋🍑
The movie Uncle Buck is worth it just for John Candy's hilariousness.
And the others around him?
I can watch it every couple years or so. Same with _Planes, Trains and Automobiles._ However, _The Great Outdoors (1988)_ doesn't quite do it for me.
Uncle Buck is a great sleep classic
This is up there with Cool Runnings and Whose Harry Crumb as Candy's best films 👍🏻 again these two got it wrong but hey the film was successful so proved them wrong anyway
@@sandal_thong8631 What's wrong with the latter?
Casualties of War was a heartbreaking film
I seen this when I was a kid and this movie wrecked me to this day. 😭
@@MrBoyYankee How old were you?
Casualties and Abyss are 2 of the greatest films of all time, imo.
I missed it and some other Vietnam War movies, like _Born on the Fourth of July (1989)._
@@dfcintron How could they not like the Alien part on The Abyss? That was fantastic as were the special effects Man they were hard to please
Uncle Buck is my 2nd favorite movie of all time.
YES!!!
I'd hate to know your favorite...

Uncle Buck is a comedy classic. A great movie. They were too dismissive.
I think so too. It's a solid thumbs up from me.
Everytime ( and that's been many ), I have watched this movie, I laugh my head off. It's emotional at times and probably John Candys best.Gone WAY to soon!!
Both Michael and Sean are Oscar worthy in Casualties of War.
Looking back on this episode years later, it's funny at the films here that l didn't see - and STILL haven't seen. I find that my inner critic is generally right. Tastes don't change that much. Miss these two, that's for sure!
How dare they give Uncle Buck two thumbs down! Uncle Buck is a great movie
Casualties of War is criminally underrated.
One might even say its a war crime of under-ration.
I remember when these episodes were new and my mom would watch them...All of this makes me feel sad and empty inside. And yet, I keep watching them...
I know what you mean. I am constantly reminded that they and those times are gone forever. I miss them as much as I miss any celebrities who have died.
i am grateful to have had those experiences long gone, i don't wish for them again. I look forward to the uncertain tomorrow.
No sequels, no re-makes and no super heroes. In the 1980s Hollywood had yet to run out of ideas.
They had a gazillion sequels, and the 1980s is known for being weaker for Hollywood movies compared to the 1970s. But I agree with you, it definitely beats now
That's a very young John C. Riley in that clip from Casualties of War!
It is, John actually appeared in 3 consecutive Sean Penn movies at the time. Casualties of War, We're No Angels, and State of Grace.
Paul Thomas Anderson said that was the movie that made him want to cast Reilly in everything he'd make.
for some reason uncle buck worked. My whole family loved that film
the adverts in between are blowing my tiny mind
It's 2021 and we still don't have The Abyss on 4K or Blu-Ray.
And it isn't looking good. It was being prepared and then Disney stepped in and bought 20th Century Fox's entire back catalogue. They've since stated that they will not be releasing physical formats of any kind going forward. Only streaming. 😡
@@ronaldh8446 Dude this movie "been due" for a 4K treatment. The blacks & blues of descent to the deep sea would be incredible. Especially for both the theatrical and Cameron cut.
@@MrBoyYankee I really wish it would happen. But... Disney. 😕
@@ronaldh8446 Yeah,thanks to Mickey the rat.
It is now on Amazon Prime
Three years later they'd review the Special Edition of The Abyss and agreed that version great improved the alien storyline. It definitely did.
Not only did it improve the blending of scifi with gritty underwater thriller, it also made me care more about the characters because more time was given to being with them.
_The Abyss_ wasn't in the league of those other alien movies, but it's worth watching once. I wanted to see it again a year or so ago, but had a hard time finding it on cable or streaming.
Appreciate the effort to upload these… brings back childhood memories
I dunno if more dark moments were necessary in _Uncle Buck_ - it's pure feelgood fairy floss, does exactly what it says on the label.
Uncle Buck is a classic movie
Casualties of war - 👍🌟🌟🌟
The abyss - 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟
I'd give Abyss 3 stars. It is very suspenseful and cool and the underwater technology is great but the ending where Ed Harris tells everyone that big ecological speech was kind of corny.
They reviewed The Abyss without once mentioning James Cameron! Fascinating. He'd already made Terminator and Aliens, and only Gale Ann Hurd's name comes up. Had critics and the audience really not connected the dots by then?
Yea, that was weird.
I'm glad Ebert liked The Abyss, however it's odd that he gave the producer, Gale Anne Hurd, credit for the female main character (in The Abyss and Aliens) given that James Cameron wrote and directed both movies.
uNcle Buck rocks.
Planes trains and automobiles i think was a better movie/funnier and john Candy's performance and character was better ..
I thought I remembered liking these guys but now that I see them 40 years later I remember they gave thumbs down to all the good movies. Obviously Uncle Buck would become a classic. They didn't have a clue.
I thought the alien thing was the best part of The Abyss at the time. Totally unexpected and way more memorable for me than the rest of the film. I saw this movie multiple times when it came out, but the ending is the only part I vividly remember. Granted, I was very young when I saw it, so my opinion may be quite different if I saw it again today.
Very rare miss by these guys on the CLASSIC Uncle Buck
Uncle Buck was a great John Candy movie. I don't care what anyone says, i watch it year after year.
also with the darker stuff, when he goes and yells and the principle for saying his niece is a silly heart and doesn't take her academic career seriously, she's only 6..... that is not an excuse! wtf
when he hovers over Pal at the bowling alley, when he confronts the drunk clown, when he shows Bug the hatchet. When he fires the golf balls at the loser boyfriend. There is plenty maybe tougher city guy coming in and dealing with suburbia and its problems.
I love the interplay of personalities that has Gene talking about how he testified in a court martial, and Roger just cutting him off to give his film opinion as if what Gene said isn’t far more interesting lol
Awwwe a cute Gaby Hoffman.
I love Uncle Buck!
Completely agree with Siskel on The Abyss. The cheesy aliens turned what was a hard edge drama into a stupid fairytale. Cameron did the same thing with Avatar.
I disagree. I agree with Ebert. It added another part to the movie and the whole reason for Ed Harris to go down that far was to deactivate the bomb to save the aliens that wouldn't have been sent down there by the crazy seal guy if they weren't there to begin with.
@@evoman1776 I see your point. They are an essential component. The aliens could have been done better in my opinion. The way they were depicted was extremely childish in my opinion. It was like switching tones from Aliens or T2 to Bambi.
@@nebulous6660 I don't think so, especially in the Special Edition. They were threatening the world with tidal waves with their water powers. So they were not as nice and kind as E.T. They were willing to defend themselves with a show of force. They have more in common with the unseen aliens in 2001 than Spielberg's aliens. They want to make contact with humans but they are still observing, studying and judging us. We can't be sure if they will end up as friend or foe. They are neutral on humanity but won over by Bud and Lindsey's love, so that's another example of how the various plotlines are interdependent in the movie. I also think the design of them works. They look like organic beings from the deep ocean and are not something that was designed to be sold as a stuffed animal.
@@jedijones Yea, that doesn't make it sound any less cheesy. Aliens judging humanity & threatening cities with tidal waves is just as childish & stupid.
@@nebulous6660 It sounds awesome to me. It may have been inspired by Watchmen the comic book, released a couple years prior, where Dr. Manhattan destroys a city in order to stop a nuclear holocaust of the whole world. Which of course was an awesome concept for that awesome comic book. I do think this alien encounter is not quite as profound as in 2001 or Close Encounters because the communication between Bud and the aliens is so literal. It doesn't have as much of the mystery there that we expect an encounter with real aliens would. But, ultimately, it's a worthy addition to the "friendly alien" movie genre and if I had to pick between those and the Alien/Predator genre where they're just trying to kill us, I'd go with the friendly ones.
All Ebert had to mention about the aliens was how cool that water creature was when it first appeared. That was groundbreaking back in the day and really added something to the film. The problem was Cameron just didn't have the budget or the time to construct the proper ending to the film that appeared in the special edition, years later.
It's just too bad the largely forgotten Indie darling director Cameron couldn't have fully realized his vision. This was the only film he made that had a chance at breaking even. James Cameron had a wonderful artistic vision, it's just gut-wrenching that his aspirations have never translated into box office success. You would think at least one of his films would have made a profit, it's a shame that none of them ultimately did.
the abyss is amazing
My reviews: out of 5
1 " Casualties of War " 3 out of 5 👍
2 " Uncle Buck " 3 out of 5 👍
3 " The Abyss " 5 out of 5 👍
I and the person that attended " Rude Awakening " enjoyed it at the time. I shall have to try to view it again. I liked how S & E were often wrong in their critiques.
If they give something two thumbs up, you can count on it being good, but you can't rely on their thumbs down ratings. So many classics slipped by these guys. RIP X2
R.I.P. to both men.
Rude Awakening is better than Casualties of War and Uncle Buck is great.
Two thumbs down for perhaps the most re-watchable movie ever made -- Uncle Buck. Yes, it's their opinions but then that's all critics bring to the table.
Can't believe they didn't like Uncle Buck, but then again...
My take on the films reviewed:
Casualties of War = 10/10. A perfect film that had me sobbing from beginning to end. I loved the bookends and feel they are necessary for emotional catharsis. Morricone's score is haunting.
Rude Awakening = 5/10. Not that funny but I do like the cast and give it a semi-pass because they work so well together. Script is lame though.
Uncle Buck = 6/10. John Candy and the kids make this film watchable despite the sitcom script.
The Abyss = 6/10 for the theatrical version, but 8/10 for the special edition. The extended 1993 cut is the only way to see this underrated film.
A Chorus of Disapproval = I haven't seen this one yet.
Casualties of War needed those bookends to add some hope in an utterly hopeless movie.
Why do you need hope ?
I don't but at the time audiences (producers) did.
@@davidthieroff9452 You don't?
@@ricardocantoral7672 Why not?
My older sister took me to see both Uncle Buck and The Abyss in the theater. Both were good films, however, the studio should have released the special edition of the Aybss which is so much better than the theatrical verison. Also, the verison of Uncle Buck, that I saw an early preview of, included a longer fight between Buck & the Birthday Clown. Now, depending who you talk to, this was either cut from the film after its opening weekend or for the film's home video release.
I’m surprised they haven’t mentioned James Cameron in their review and his past work.
I agree about Uncle Buck, they should of kept the film consistant with a more upbeat lighthearted take.
I always wanted some of that giant pancake in Uncle Buck.
Seriously? Comparing Uncle Buck to the terrible Neighbors? Uncle Buck is a good movie.
Uncle Buck is on TV multiple times every year, neighbors is on once in a while late at night. Uncle buck wins.
I have watched a number of these videos (and really enjoyed them btw) and I find it so fascinating that it seems like Gene dislikes a lot more films that Roger likes than vise versa. I would be really interested if someone out there had a score card that showed exactly how often they both liked, disliked and then one liked but the other didn't. I would bet just about anything that I'm right, it would be Gene disliking films Roger liked way more often lol.
If you look at their top ten lists, particularly in the 1980s, they had a lot of the same films on both.
Ebert was a sucker for action and sci fi films that were reminiscent of serials of the 50s, and were generally uplifting. He liked Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. He also didn't like movies he felt were "mean-spirited" but he often couldn't seem to tell the difference between a mean-spirited film and dark comedy. Siskel liked dark comedy and gritty films in general a lot more than Ebert.
3 good movies in ONE WEEK in 89. You cant even get 3 good movies in one YEAR now.
What was Roger talking about? John Candy's character in PT&A wasn't anything like his character in Uncle Buck.
Their original Abyss review has never been on the internet before. Even the now defunct, official Buena Vista site was never able to retrieve the original review, only the Special Edition review. Their remarks here really encapsulate the debates that've been raging since the movie's release about the aliens and the ending. Just like Ebert said, I thought Siskel was going to describe the two distinct stories as being the adventure story and the love story. I think Ebert was implying that the alien subplot is such an integral component of the adventure story, including being the villain's primary motivation for hijacking the nuclear bomb, that it can't really count as its own separate story from the rest of the movie. The love story can be viewed as a parallel story that doesn't really have an effect on the rest of the plot. I think Siskel, Ebert and most people prefer the Special Edition release of this film. I can't really remember how the ending of the original felt back in 1989. I can agree with Siskel that the alien encounter here is a derivative of Close Encounters and coming in at the tail end of an '80s "friendly alien" trend that was on its way out. But it's still a story that's told in an interesting and exciting way in this movie.
9:50 that's GENE KELLY?!? i had no idea he was so HOT!
Decent dancer too.
No wonder she didn't have much of a career after this. Everyone assumed she was dead or too old for the part when they saw her name on the casting list. To be fair, she starred in a sitcom I never heard of for 6 years.
Jean Louisa Kelly
Hahaha!
Uncle Buck's one of those movies people revisit with Rose coloured glasses and think it's good when its really not
I agree. It definitely has funny moments, but I agree that they should have decided if Uncle Buck was going to be a big softie or a disturbing hardass.
Buck's behavior in the movie is bizarre. Most of the family's problems get solved by him threatening or beating someone up.
a) Threatens niece's boyfriend because he doesn't like seeing them making out. Tracks them down later on and spies on them, then takes it upon himself to bring her home. That stupid conversation about how he has an axe in his car. Kidnapping the guy even after finding out he wasn't fucking the niece. Hitting golf balls at him in a park (?!?).
b) Threatens the school principal. Makes a horrible remark about her face that's supposed to be funny and empowering, but it comes off as probably the cruelest thing in the film.
c) Beats up the birthday party clown. It's a funny scene, but seems tacked on just to show Candy beat up some loudmouth jerk.
d) Threatens the sleazy guy at the bowling alley.
e) Threatens to embarrass the niece. Threatens to shave her head.
I know it's a comedy and all, but Buck is obviously supposed to be seen as a lovable character, not a creep. I'm surprised they didn't add in a scene where he trashes the mean teacher's ("Blasphemer!") car as punishment for yelling at Maisie and maybe give Miles a bully that Buck confronts and threatens.
Roger initially hated the movie Groundhog Day. He eventually gave it a revised review and loved it. I doubt he would have ever done the same thing for Uncle Buck, but it is worth that kind of revision from him.
Roger didn’t hate the movie. He gave it 3 stars, meaning that he liked it but didn’t love it.
Gene Siskel: "Julie Kavner's whiny voice is annoying." I guess He wasn't a SIMPSONS fan then.
The Abyss hasn't aged well. I got the special edition DVD at the thrift store. The first half is solid but as soon as the aliens are introduced it goes down, and fast, and the ending is an environmental message that is so on the nose and condescending it seems like it was written for first graders.
You make a good point on The Abyss. The Director's Cut is often praised far more heavily but it has its own set of issues. Yes it explains what the aliens are doing, but I agree totally that it's so "on the nose" that it becomes preachy and heavy-handed. The theatrical cut doesn't have that problem, and it's more of a love story which the Director's Cut kind of loses focus with, at least when you add in the "disaster movie ending" and political preachiness.
I always thought Ed Harris screaming at his Mary Elizabeth M. for ten minutes in her near drowning scene was cornball overkill..
I agree. The ending is very cornball.
Mariah Carey - "Love Takes Time" (US #1, 1990)
The blew it with Uncle Buck. Good movie.
The Abyss was an interesting science fiction movie written by a ten year old. The script was something Triumph the Comic Dog would poop on. Ed Harris was way too good an actor for that garbage. So was Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio.
Fox and Penn play well off of each other.
The Abyss, overblown, underwritten.
Thanks for posting this. Did you upload this from your own tape recordings? I don't believe this has been on the internet before.
you are welcome jedijones -- yes, everything I've uploaded on this channel so far are from my own tape recordings. You can probably tell from the look and sound of the transfers, they are all off the same few channels back in the day.
A few of these shows I know have not been online before, because about a decade ago I traded many of my tapes with the Siskelebert website guys. They uploaded my recordings there on their own (a few like the Holiday Gift Guides I posted myself), but I did not trade all of the shows so I know there will be some "exclusives" new to people here :)
Whether the episode is on that site or not, I'm reupping my own version -- straight off my recordings -- because the picture quality/aspect ratio/etc. is better here, even if some minor edits in terms of clips pop up every now and then that I have to make.
Yeah, some of these aren't even on siskelebert.org. Case in point is this is the first time in years I've seen the Casualties of War review. Thanks very much.

Casualties of War (two thumbs up)
The Abyss (two thumbs up)
Rude Awakening (two thumbs down)
Uncle Buck (two thumbs up)
Chorus of Disapproval (two thumbs down)
Omg. I had completely forgot about Rude Awakening. I remember liking it as a little one. But it's not the first time I've disagreed with Gene or Roger.
Update. I found it on CZcams. It is a very poorly made movie. I did laugh at some parts. I don't think I'll finish it.
I like Uncle Buck more than these guys, it's sweet and good-natured.
I agree. S & E left out how Buck's street-wise humanity and integrity surface, how this reaches the kids so they end up loving and respecting him. Those qualities also wonderfully contrast with the rigid perfectionism of the highschool principle and the kid's parents. I'd much rather have him as a warm, human, relatable parent, endearing goofyness and all! We in the audience are at first put off by his APPARENT unreliability and crude, lower class manner but, unless we are doomed to the attitudes of the parents, are also won over by his greatheartedness, which our society so sorely lacks....
@@chrisdiver6224 I liked how S & E were often wrong in their critiques.
Agree with Gene on The Abyss.
There is no reason to assume the creatures they encounter were extra-terrestrial, they could have been down there evolving for billions of years. After all we know more about the surface of the moon than the deeps of the sea.
Uncle Buck has moved into classic borderline cult status after all these years. And rightly so. Maybe it's because so many movies are too dark now and just aren't enjoyable.
Mastrantonio was "too macho"?? What TF is GS talking about? She starts out as kind of a prickly hard-ass, but she shows layers of vulnerability as the film goes on. I definitely wouldn't call her macho. Sigourney Weaver was far more macho in Aliens (not to mention Linda Hamilton in T2 -- but that was two years away).
Then he goes on to admit that it's realistic for her to act that way, but passes it off as he's looking at it as a movie and not as reality. What a weird thing for a film critic to say. Seemed like he only said that because he couldn't let Ebert be right. Childish moment from him.
She also was good in _The January Man_ in 1989 with Kevin Kline and Alan Rickman.
@@sandal_thong8631 Teenage me developed a crush on her after Scarface.
Their opinion on Uncle Buck ruined their credibility with me. It's a masterpiece compared to the trash released today.
Not sure why you would reference Gale Anne Hurd in their Abyss review instead of James Cameron who obviously carries the most influence.
I think it was because they were talking about how the films all had women as main characters plus a female producer, though it still doesn't make sense since Cameron wrote and directed all those films. They also didn't mention that Hurd and Cameron were married.
The Abyss is a classic. But, where is the blu ray?
Casualities of War was very sad. Michael J Fox was different than i ever saw, Penn was great. You VC?
Didn't like uncle buck! Some of their opinions man. Love listening to their reasoning but why wouldn't you love a charming film like that.
Can't imagine Michael J. Fox being 1A.
Don't judge a book by it's cover. Look up Audie Murphy. He looked less threatening than Michael J. Fox.
1A?

Foxs best dramatic performance by a mile! Arguably Penns best work and that supporting cast!! Not De Palms most entertaining work, but his most important
Speaking of De Palma, I think many critics and audiences blew it on Femme Fatale and Passion. Roger Ebert was one of the few critics that have both films a good review.
uncle buck is a lot of fun. but i'm not an intellectual.
How do you thumbs down uncle buck?
Casualties of War-Brian DePalma jumps on the Vietnam bandwagon and shoves in as many cliches as he can after everybody else already made good Vietnam movies (Apocalypse Now, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, even the underrated Bat 21 and Hamburger Hill). At least Paul Thomas Anderson got inspiration to put John C. Reilly in his movies from this after school special.
Uncle Buck - this movie walked so Home Alone could run. Probably John Candy’s best vehicle. He WAS Uncle Buck. I hear what they say about it being tonally inconsistent, but I disagree. He’s a lovable goofball you don’t want to mess with. His report with the teenage girl towards the end is a great acting exercise in making your point without saying a word.
The Abyss - I don’t recall the non-Special Edition, but this is underrated. James Cameron must’ve been experimenting with what effects he’d put in Terminator 2 with this. Also, that rat scene still sticks out in my mind years later, as well as the revival scene.
30+ years later:
Casualties of war 👍🏿 (forgotten gem)
Uncle Buck 👎🏿 (great actors but a pass)
Abyss 👍🏿 (horrible film shoot but underrated)
Rude Awaking and Chorus of approval 👎🏿👎🏿 (forgotten)

I thought that Casualties of War was awful, but I liked The Abyss.
Awful in what way?

I rarely agreed with Roger.
