The Parallax View ***** (1974, Warren Beatty, Paula Prentiss, William Daniels, Hume Cronyn, Walter McGinn, Anthony Zerbe, Kenneth Mars) – Classic Movie Review 1152
Alan J Pakula’s 1974 political paranoia conspiracy thriller film is brilliantly tense, taut and exciting. It’s a scorching nail-biter of a movie. Warren Beatty stars as ambitious reporter Joseph Frady, who investigates a presidential candidate’s […]
Dave *** (1993, Kevin Kline, Sigourney Weaver, Frank Langella, Ben Kingsley) – Classic Movie Review 946
The 1989 Oscar-winner for A Fish Called Wanda, Kevin Kline uses all his nimble comedy skills and appears to be thoroughly enjoying himself in every actor’s dream of twin roles. He stars as Dave Kovic, a sweet-natured […]

The Lady Vanishes ***** (1938, Margaret Lockwood, Michael Redgrave, Paul Lukas, Dame May Whitty, Basil Radford, Naunton Wayne, Cecil Parker, Linden Travers, Catherine Lacey, Googie Withers, Mary Clare) – Classic Movie Review 118
Fighting off strong competition from The 39 Steps, the 1938 treasure The Lady Vanishes is (arguably) by a narrow margin Alfred Hitchcock’s best British movie before he left for America to make Rebecca in 1940 […]
Welcome to the Punch ** (2013, James McAvoy, Mark Strong, Andrea Riseborough, David Morrissey, Peter Mullen) – Movie Review
I’m sorry to be very hard on this slick, fast-moving and atmospheric London-set crime thriller, but, though it’s sometimes exciting, it really doesn’t offer many surprises or real thrills and the story is so complicated […]
