The Chamber/The Ghost and the Darkness/The Long Kiss Goodnight/Looking for Richard/Freeway

Roger Ebert: [reviewing "The Long Kiss Goodnight"] The odd thing is, I preferred "Cutthroat Island"...

Gene Siskel: Ohhh! Roger! That was AWFUL.

Roger Ebert: ... That was not- it was the same movie, it was just a pirate picture...

Gene Siskel: Oh, no no no.

Roger Ebert: ... Instead of set today.

Gene Siskel: Oh, no no no.

Roger Ebert: But the stunts in that one were TRULY amazing.

Gene Siskel: No, this, this is a picture, and this picture has a very smart screenplay by Shane Black, there's some quirky dialogue in here, Samuel L. Jackson's character- they have an interesting, uh, chemistry between them, because it's not, uh, romantic, it's action-filled and smart and funny.

Roger Ebert: I really don't think this is a screenplay I'm going to be singling out as one of the great screenplays of the year.

Gene Siskel: I didn't either.

Roger Ebert: First of all, it couldn't have been written if "Pulp Fiction" hadn't existed.

Gene Siskel: I agree with you, but I'm telling you... well, Shane Black has had some other good screen credits.

Roger Ebert: [skeptical] Uh, sure, yeah. Do you remember, "The Last Boy Scout", wasn't that his?

Gene Siskel: That was his, and that had some very funny dialogue and quirky dialogue in it too. Very good.
