The Italian Job *** (2003, Mark Wahlberg, Edward Norton, Charlize Theron, Donald Sutherland, Seth Green, Jason Staham, Mos Def) – Classic Movie Review 5356
Mark Wahlberg takes over the old Michael Caine role as master thief Charlie Croker in director F Gary Gray’s fast-paced and enjoyable enough, if uninspired 2003 total revamp of the classic Sixties crime caper The […]
The Truth about Charlie ½ (2003, Mark Wahlberg, Thandie Newton, Tim Robbins) Classic Movie Review 5349
Co-writer/ director Jonathan Demme’s appalling 2003 movie is a catastrophic remake of the sparkling 1963 thriller Charade, with Mark Wahlberg and Thandie Newton doing nothing whatever to battle their bizarre miscasting in the old Cary […]
Penitentiary ** (1938, Walter Connolly, John Howard, Jean Parker, Robert Barrat, Marc Lawrence) – Classic Movie Review 5297
Director John Brahm’s 1938 Columbia Pictures remake of Howard Hawks’s classic prison drama movie The Criminal Code (1931) is watchable but a lesser and largely unnecessary movie. It stars Walter Connolly, John Howard, Jean Parker, Robert Barrat […]
The Bride *** (1985, Sting, Jennifer Beals, Anthony Higgins, Clancy Brown, Veruschka, Quentin Crisp) – Classic Movie Review 5289
Director Franc Roddam’s flashy and stylish 1985 horror movie retells the beloved story from the 1935 classic The Bride of Frankenstein quite decently in a screenplay by Lloyd Fonvielle. However, despite the surface razzle dazzle of Stephen H Burum’s […]
Port of Seven Seas *** (1938, Wallace Beery, Frank Morgan, Maureen O’Sullivan, John Beal, Jessie Ralph) – Classic Movie Review 5267
Director James Whale’s haunting bitter-sweet 1938 MGM romantic drama might not entirely be typical for him, but nevertheless it is good material for him to get to work on. It is based on Marcel Pagnol’s […]
Sweet Bird of Youth *** (1989, Elizabeth Taylor, Mark Harmon, Rip Torn, Valerie Perrine, Ruta Lee, Kevin Geer) – Classic Movie Review 5237
Director Nicolas Roeg’s interesting 1989 TV movie version of the Tennessee Williams play is reworked by teleplay writer Gavin Lambert, apparently using the playwright’s own revisions, though these are not always an improvement on the […]
Babes in Toyland ** (1961, Roy Bolger, Tommy Sands, Annette Funicello, Tommy Kirk, Ed Wynn, Kevin Corcoran, Ann Jillian, Gene Sheldon, Henry Calvin) – Classic Movie Review 5222
Director Jack Donohue’s 1961 Walt Disney Productions family fantasy comedy movie is quite cute, sweet and pleasant enough, and has its moments. But, certainly by comparison, it is a largely ineffectual remake of the 1934 Stan Laurel and Laurel Hardy […]
