American Pastoral ** (2016, Ewan McGregor, Jennifer Connelly, Dakota Fanning, Peter Riegert, Molly Parker, Samantha Mathis, Rupert Evans) – Movie Review
Philip Roth’s novel won him the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1998 but you would never know why from this earnest, sincere and well meaning but ponderous and struggling 2016 drama from Ewan McGregor in his […]
Under the Cherry Moon *** (1986, Prince, Jerome Benton, Kristin Scott Thomas) – Classic Movie Review 3613
An extremely lively, now classic score, including ‘Kiss’, ‘Mountains’ and ‘Girls and Boys’, partly rescues this somewhat tiresome Forties-style fantasy, released in black and white in 1986 and directed by the Eighties Prince of pop as a […]

The Prince and the Showgirl *** (1957, Laurence Olivier, Marilyn Monroe, Jeremy Spenser, Sybil Thorndike, Richard Wattis) – Classic Movie Review 2653
Laurence Olivier directs Marilyn Monroe in England in 1957 in this patchy but pleasant romantic comedy that by and large manages the odd trick of joining together of two very different screen legends and two […]
Top Five *** (2014, Chris Rock, Rosario Dawson, Gabrielle Union) – Movie Review
Chris Rock takes a leaf out of Woody Allen’s book, writing, directing and starring in this semi-biographical romantic comedy about Andre Allen, a comedian who’s fed up with being ‘funny’. He decides to try to make […]
