Dead Ringer **** (1964, Bette Davis, Karl Malden, Peter Lawford, Philip Carey) – Classic Movie Review 2163
Director Paul Henreid casts his friend and sometime co-star Bette Davis, who hugely enjoys her lip-smacking double role as Margaret DeLorca and Edith Phillips, in the deliriously entertaining 1964 pot-boiling thriller Dead Ringer. After her […]
American Sniper ***** (2014, Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller, Kyle Gallner) – Movie Review
Director Clint Eastwood’s devastating anti-war movie is one of his best films, with several scalding, edge-of-seat, life-or-death sequences that will always haunt the mind. Bradley Cooper is great as real-life US Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle, whose accuracy […]
Johnny English *** (2003, Rowan Atkinson, John Malkovich, Natalie Imbruglia) – Classic Movie Review 1750
Rowan Atkinson plays dithering special agent Johnny English in this incredibly popular, idiotic James Bond spy spoof that has plenty of amateurish enthusiasm but little in the way of inspiration or big laughs. Based on […]

David Schwimmer is very amusing as Tom Thompson, an agreeable young man corralled in as the pallbearer for a high-school buddy he hardly remembers by the deceased’s amorous mom (Barbara Hershey). Co-writer/director Matt Reeves excellent, […]
Harold and Maude ***** (1971, Bud Cort, Ruth Gordon, Vivian Pickles) – Classic Movie Review 1077
Director Hal Ashby’s 1971 adorable oddball black comedy has deservedly proved an enduring favourite. Bud Cort stars as Harold, a rich and appealing but self-destructive and needy young weirdo who is obsessed with death. Strange […]
Duets **** (2000, Gwyneth Paltrow, Huey Lewis, Paul Giamatti, Angie Dickinson, Scott Speedman, Andre Braugher, Maria Bello) – Classic Movie Review 892
My how time flies! It’s the year 2000 and Angie Dickinson is playing Gwyneth Paltrow’s grandmother, for heaven’s sake, and Huey Lewis is playing her father in her real father Bruce Paltrow’s touching, clever, bitter-sweet […]
