Roger Ebert & The Movies: 3-11-00

Note: Much better High Quality upgradable video than Taylor's aka "VHSGoodiesWA" recording! All from Don Gorelick aka "Oakley Tapes!" But, it does have some tracking issues.

Roger Ebert & Guest Critic, David Poland reviews "Mission to Mars" (Easily one of Brian De Palma's Worst Space Soap Opera Sci-Fi Drama that's a bad cross between "The Big Chill" and "Apollo 13". Out of the two films set in Mars in 2000, "Red Planet" with Val Kilmer is the better one. Starring: Gary Sinise, Tim Robbins, Don Cheadle, Jerry O'Connell and Connie Nielsen.); "Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai" (Amazing Martial Arts Urban Crime Drama from director, Jim Jarsmusch. Starring: Forrest Whitaker.); "Agnes Browne" and "Deterrence".

Shooting Gallery Film Series: Roger Ebert talks about several films from the production company such as "Croupier", "Orphans" and "Judy Berlin" all have a small distribution. The company was bankrupt and closed later in 2001.

Video Pick of the Week: Ebert pick is "The King of Masks". And a recap of Today's program.
