Director Frank Oz’s 1992 fantasy romantic comedy HouseSitter is uneven, but it is always an amiable and inoffensive entertainment, and in its best stretches it is very funny. Steve Martin stars as Newton Davis, a […]
The Beverly Hillbillies * (1993, Jim Varney, Dabney Coleman, Lily Tomlin, Diedrich Bader, Cloris Leachman, Rob Schneider, Erika Eleniak, Lea Thompson) – Classic Movie Review 6649
Director Penelope Spheeris’s 1993 television sitcom spinoff of the much-loved nine-season The Beverly Hillbillies (1962–1971) is amiable and harmless, and it certainly tries hard. But alas it is not much of a success thanks to […]
The Square **** (2017, Claes Bang, Elisabeth Moss, Dominic West, Terry Notary) – Movie Review

Nothing But the Best **** (1964, Alan Bates, Denholm Elliott, Harry Andrews, Millicent Martin) – Classic Movie Review 5945
Director Clive Donner’s amusing and deliciously cynical 1964 satirical dark comedy runs along the lines of How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying, though it is based on the short story The Best of […]
Two Smart People *** (1946, Lucille Ball, John Hodiak, Lloyd Nolan, Hugo Haas) – Classic Movie Review 5515
Director Jules Dassin’s 1946 thriller is a somewhat down-bill, down-at-heel mix of film noir, crime caper, romance and humorous chase drama starring Lucille Ball and Lloyd Nolan as confidence trickster Ricki Woodner and sheriff Bob […]
