Youth **** (2015, Michael Caine, Harvey Keitel, Rachel Weisz, Paul Dano, Jane Fonda) – Movie Review
It’s the 82-year-old Michael Caine’s best role and best piece of serious acting in years, triumphing over risky and weirdly eccentric casting against type as retired classical composer and orchestra conductor Fred Ballinger. He is enjoying a Swiss […]
By the Sea *** (2015, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Mélanie Laurent, Niels Arestrup, Melvil Poupaud, Richard Bohringer) – Movie Review
Patience is required, and somewhat rewarded, for Angelina Jolie’s 2015 work as writer, director and star of this intense, serious but plush and sedate romantic drama, mysteriously set in France during the mid 1970s. Jolie casts […]
Somewhere in Time **** (1980, Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour, Christopher Plummer, Teresa Wright, Bill Erwin) – Classic Movie Review 3070
Director Jeannot Szwarc’s gorgeous, haunting, heart-aching 1980 sci-fi fantasy romance stars Christopher Reeve as Richard Collier, a young Chicago playwright who goes to the premiere of his new play. When an old lady (Susan French) […]
A Night in Casablanca ***½ (1946, Groucho Marx, Chico Marx, Harpo Marx, Sig Ruman, Lisette Verea, Charles Drake, Lois Collier, Dan Seymour) – Classic Movie Review 3064

The Cocoanuts **** (1929, Groucho Marx, Chico Marx, Harpo Marx, Zeppo Marx, Margaret Dumont, Oscar Shaw, Mary Eaton, Kay Francis) – Classic Movie Review 3062
The Marx Brothers’ first sound film was made when they were four Marxes, with Groucho, Chico and Harpo joined along with Zeppo. An all-talking, all-singing musical comedy hit, it is filmed at the dawn of […]
Four Rooms * (1995, Tim Roth, Bruce Willis, Quentin Tarantino, Jennifer Beals, Paul Calderon, Salma Hayek, Madonna, Antonio Banderas, Marisa Tomei) – Classic Movie Review 3056
Tim Roth plays an unlikely bellboy visiting the title’s four hotel rooms in this lacklustre 1995 portmanteau movie comedy, showing clearly why these kinds of films are out of fashion. Even good directors, it seems, […]
Mississippi Mermaid [La Sirène du Mississippi] **** (1969, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Catherine Deneuve, Michel Bouquet) – Classic Movie Review 3,024
Ah, yes, love leads to an uncertain future when you lie, cheat, rob and murder. François Truffaut turns a Cornell Woolrich novel into the moody and engaging 1969 film noir Mississippi Mermaid with the right […]
