Director Jonathan Demme’s second movie (after Caged Heat) is this exciting 1975 exploitation crime thriller, with the young Demme again working for Roger Corman’s New World Pictures production company. Robert Thom’s screenplay is based on the […]
Caged Heat *** (1974, Juanita Brown, Erica Gavin, Roberta Collins, Barbara Steele) – Classic Movie Review 5361
Writer-director Jonathan Demme makes his impressive and inventive film début in 1974 with this women-in-prison exploitation movie, made for producer Roger Corman. A sensationalist tale of rape, riot and revenge, it is the start of a […]
Beloved *** (1998, Oprah Winfrey, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton) – Classic Movie Review 5355

The Truth about Charlie ½ (2003, Mark Wahlberg, Thandie Newton, Tim Robbins) Classic Movie Review 5349
Co-writer/ director Jonathan Demme’s appalling 2003 movie is a catastrophic remake of the sparkling 1963 thriller Charade, with Mark Wahlberg and Thandie Newton doing nothing whatever to battle their bizarre miscasting in the old Cary […]
Something Wild **** (1986, Jeff Daniels, Melanie Griffith, Ray Liotta, Margaret Colin, Tracey Walter) – Classic Movie Review 4063
Mixing crime, romance and comedy, director Jonathan Demme’s crazed 1986 thriller is perhaps the best of the cycle of mid-Eighties yuppie-in-peril movies. Jeff Daniels stars as businessman Charles Driggs, a very proper, middle-class man who decides […]
