The Horse Whisperer *** (1998, Robert Redford, Kristin Scott Thomas, Sam Neill, Scarlett Johansson, Dianne Wiest, Chris Cooper, Cherry Jones, Kate Bosworth) – Classic Film Review 692
Based on the bestselling novel by Nicholas Evans, this is plush, graceful film-making by director Robert Redford in 1999. Young teenager Grace (Scarlett Johansson) is horrendously wounded and traumatised after a disturbing horse-riding accident and […]

The Lone Ranger ** (2013, Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, William Fichtner, Tom Wilkinson, Helena Bonham Carter, Ruth Wilson) – Movie Review
Who is that masked man? I don’t know, he’s wearing a mask! Alas, The Lone Ranger, while decent enough old-fashioned entertainment, is a bit of a lone star film. Johnny Depp takes sole star billing […]
