Roger Ebert & The Movies: 2-12-00

Note: Also in better quality despite of a little tracking and a little buzzing sound. But Oh Boy, Roger gave thumbs down to all 3 three films this week including the Nickelodeon movie, "Snow Day". How can he be so cold? Oh wait, maybe he's too excited for the Cannes Film Festival and joining with his guest critic who was a legendary film critic for The New York Times, Janet Maslin! That could be the case!

Roger Ebert and Guest Critic, Janet Maslin from "The New York Times" reviews "The Beach" (Great adventure thriller from Danny Boyle with Leonardo DiCaprio making a comeback role after "Titanic" and "Celebrity".); "Snow Day" (Disagree with both of them completely! This was a fun, hilarious and feel-good coming of age holiday story for all kids, teenagers and adults! I saw it in theatres twice with my father, brother, sister and later, my mother. I even love the Soundtrack including Hoku's "Another Dumb Blonde". Starring: Chevy Chase, Chris Elliot, Emmanuelle Chrqui, Jake Weber, Schuyler Fisk, Pam Grier, John Schneider and Josh Peck.) and "Holy Smoke" (Easily the worst of the "Smoke" film franchise with Harvey Keitel and Kate Winslet (Two different films featuring two major stars from "Titanic". What a week!)

And "Cannes Films Festival" update for upcoming feature film screenings and nominations. And a recap of Today's program.
