Aloma of the South Seas *** (1941, Dorothy Lamour, Jon Hall, Lynne Overman, Philip Reed) – Classic Movie Review 6608

It’s just a sarong at twilight as the saronged lady Dorothy Lamour leads director Alfred Santell’s lavish but creaky 1941 reworking of Maurice Tourneur’s 1926 silent movie (with Gilda Gray, Percy Marmont and Warner Baxter), mixing adventure and […]

Love Is Colder Than Death [Liebe ist kälter als der Tod] *** (1969, Ulli Lommel, Hanna Schygulla, Rainer Werner Fassbinder) – Classic Movie Review 6197

Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s chilly and attractively unusual 1969 low budget German black-and-white film is his first feature, valuable as an interesting apprentice work of this important director. It tells a dour and doomy noir-style gangster story, as seen through […]

Bone Tomahawk **** (2015, Kurt Russell, Patrick Wilson, Matthew Fox, Richard Jenkins) – Movie Review

Writer-director S Craig Zahler’s 2015 epic Western is a brilliant bone-cruncher. It’s a bone-a-fide gun-slinging cult hit. When there’s trouble in a Wild West town, the grizzled sheriff (Kurt Russell), his ancient back-up deputy (Richard Jenkins) and […]
