The Magic Sword *** (1962, Basil Rathbone, Estelle Winwood, Gary Lockwood, Anne Helm) – Classic Movie Review 12,445
Producer/ director Bert I Gordon’s enjoyable enough 1962 American adventure fantasy film The Magic Sword is loosely based on the medieval legend of Saint George and the Dragon, and stars Basil Rathbone, Estelle Winwood, Gary […]
Dragonslayer **** (1981, Peter MacNicol, Caitlin Clarke, Ralph Richardson) – Classic Movie Review 8746
It’s the powers of good, represented by sorcerer’s apprentice Galen (Peter MacNicol), against one of the screen’s most impressive dragons, Vermithrax Pejorative, in the dark ages of the sixth-century kingdom of Urland. Director Matthew Robbins’s […]
Doctor Strange ***½ (2016, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rachel McAdams, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tilda Swinton, Mads Mikkelsen, Benedict Wong) – Movie Review

Siege of the Saxons ** (1963, Ronald Lewis, Janette Scott, Ronald Howard, Mark Dignam, John Laurie) – Classic Movie Review 3650
Set in Arthurian times but with medieval England sets and style, director Nathan Juran’s low-budget 1963 British historical adventure is endearingly feeble, murky, cheap-looking. It extensively reuses footage, costumes and props from the 1954 Alan Ladd […]

Dorothy Dwan is Dorothy in director Larry Semon’s quite sweet 1925 silent movie, the first film version of L Frank Baum’s beloved 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, most famous now of course as […]
