Whisky Galore! ** (2016, Eddie Izzard, Gregor Fisher, Fenella Woolgar, James Cosmo, Naomi Battrick, Tim Pigott-Smith, Ellie Kendrick) – Movie Review
Eddie Izzard and Gregor Fisher put their comedy skills behind this mild but pleasant enough remake of the Ealing Studios classic. Izzard does a dithering Captain Mainwaring impersonation as Captain Waggett. Eddie Izzard and Gregor […]
The Apostle **** (1997, Robert Duvall, Todd Allen, Farrah Fawcett) – Classic Movie Review 5401

Spencer’s Mountain **** (1963, Henry Fonda, Maureen O’Hara, James MacArthur, Donald Crisp, Lillian Bronson, Wally Cox) – Classic Movie Review 3415
Based on the novel by Earl Hamner Jr, this wholesome, inspiring 1963 family saga is pleasingly warm-hearted and effortlessly appealing, and proved the template for The Waltons TV series which ran from 1972 to 1981, […]
Made in Dagenham **** (2010, Sally Hawkins, Bob Hoskins, Andrea Riseborough, Miranda Richardson, Geraldine James, Rosamund Pike, Daniel Mays, Kenneth Cranham) – Classic Movie Review 3313
‘Everyone out!’ That’s the cry in the East London suburbs in 1968, a cry you don’t hear very much these days! Sally Hawkins (Golden Globe winner for 2008’s Happy-Go-Lucky) gives a fiery, attractive turn as […]
