Chicago critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert rate new movies with a thumbs up, or a thumbs down.

Film critics Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune and A.O. Scott of the New York Times give their opinions on the latest new releases. The films are reviewed with the classifications 'See It', 'Skip It', or 'Rent It'. They also make suggestions as to excellent films they recommend for renting on video.—Joe Fiore
