Mr Holmes ***½ (2015, Ian McKellen, Laura Linney, Milo Parker, Frances de la Tour) – Movie Review
With a bit of Gandalf in there, and looking and sounding remarkably like Sir John Gielgud, Ian McKellen has a lot of fun slicing the ham as an aged, retired Sherlock Holmes. The great detective is […]
The Arsenal Stadium Mystery *** (1939, Leslie Banks, Greta Gynt, Esmond Knight) – Classic Movie Review 2455
Leslie Banks gives a good, solid and splendidly offbeat star performance as Detective Inspector Anthony Slade, an oddball Scotland Yard policeman, in director Thorold Dickinson’s fair, fun 1939 little British murder mystery thriller. It is notable as […]
Around the World in 80 Days ***½ (1989, Pierce Brosnan, Eric Idle, Julia Nickson, Robert Morley, Peter Ustinov) – Classic Movie Review 2454
In director Buzz Kulik’s classy, entertaining 1989 Malta-made miniseries, an ideally cast Pierce Brosnan shines as Jules Verne’s Victorian adventurer Phileas Fogg and Eric Idle is a total scene-stealer as his French gentleman’s gentleman Passepartout. […]

Murder at 1600 * (1997, Wesley Snipes, Diane Lane, Daniel Benzali, Alan Alda, Tate Donovan) – Classic Movie Review 2300
Director Dwight H Little’s 1997 movie is a very, very bad and totally cheesy thriller, wasting Wesley Snipes as Detective Harlan Regis, a homicide cop who must investigate the murder of a woman in a […]
The Thin Man ***** (1934, William Powell, Myrna Loy, Maureen O’Sullivan) – Classic Movie Review 2262
Director W S Van Dyke’s sparkling 1934 comedy thriller The Thin Man is a bright, bubbly and witty version of the much darker-toned Dashiell Hammett classic detective novel renowned for its brilliantly told masterly mystery […]
