Mr Majestyk **** (1974, Charles Bronson, Linda Cristal, Al Lettieri, Lee Purcell, Paul Koslo) – Classic Movie Review 8320
The 1974 Mr Majestyk is one of Charles Bronson’s most effective action thrillers thanks to Richard Fleischer’s buzzing direction and Elmore Leonard’s playful but tough original thriller screenplay. It is Bronson’s only cinema movie written […]

Innocent Blood ** (1992, Anne Parillaud, Anthony LaPaglia, Robert Loggia) – Classic Movie Review 6029
Director John Landis revisits with considerably less effect the territory he covered so successfully with his 1981 classic An American Werewolf in London for this disappointing if passable 1992 vampire horror thriller. The mix of fantasy, […]
