One Eight Seven *** (1997, Samuel L Jackson, John Heard, Kelly Rowan, Clifton Collins Jr, Tony Plana, Method Man) – Classic Movie Review 3001
Director Kevin Reynolds’s 1997 drama is a worrying end-of-term report on America’s schools and can be considered as the To Sir, with Love for the Nineties. That fine actor Samuel L Jackson rivets the attention […]
McFarland, USA ***½ (2015, Kevin Costner, Maria Bello, Carlos Pratts, Ramiro Rodriguez, Morgan Saylor, Elsie Fisher) – Movie Review
Kevin Costner’s film has legs: this will run and run. Corny and sentimental though undoubtedly is, McFarland is also a beautifully done, sheering heart-warmer. Inhabiting the space with leathery charm, style and grace, a relaxed […]
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl ***½ (2015, Thomas Mann, R J Cyler, Olivia Cooke, Connie Britton, Nick Offerman, Molly Shannon, Jon Bernthal) – Movie Review

Encino Man [California Man] **** (1992, Sean Astin, Brendan Fraser, Pauly Shore) – Classic Movie Review 2615
Director Les Mayfield’s 1992 wild and wacky teen comedy is incredibly juvenile but unexpectedly funny and engaging, coming in the wake and style of Bill and Ted and Wayne’s World. It’s now regarded as a classic […]
Earth vs the Spider ** (1958, Ed Kemmer, June Kenney, Eugene Persson) – Classic Movie Review 2498
Producer-director Bert I Gordon’s 1958 black and white sci-fi chiller offers Fifties Z-grade creature feature entertainment that’s still quite a lot of fun viewing, at least on a friendly kitsch and camp level. Gordon also wrote […]
