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 […]
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels **** (1988, Steve Martin, Michael Caine, Glenne Headly, Anton Rodgers, Barbara Harris) – Classic Movie Review 5214
Director Frank Oz’s delicious 1988 comedy Dirty Rotten Scoundrels stars a perfect team in Steve Martin, Michael Caine and Glenne Headly. Caine plays a suave Englishman named Lawrence Jamieson who preys on wealthy widows by posing […]
Beauty and the Beast *** (2017, Dan Stevens, Emma Watson, Luke Evans, Josh Gad, Kevin Kline) – Movie Review
Director Bill Condon’s fairy tale musical is romantic, warm and good hearted. It has a charming, sweet nature that is easy to like and hard to take against. It is slickly and smoothly made in […]
The Jazz Singer * (1952, Danny Thomas, Peggy Lee, Eduard Franz, Mildred Dunnock) – Classic Movie Review 5027

The Jazz Singer ** (1980, Laurence Olivier, Neil Diamond, Lucie Arnaz) – Classic Movie Review 4992
The Jazz Singer’s sentimental story exploring the clash of the lure of showbiz versus the pull of family duty is impossibly dated. But director Richard Fleischer’s 1980 third film version of Sampson Raphaelson’s antique play […]
Last Man Standing **** (1996, Bruce Willis, Christopher Walken, Bruce Dern, William Sanderson) – Classic Movie Review 4927
Writer-director Walter Hill’s dark, dour and downbeat 1996 American gangster movie remake of Akira Kurosawa’s classic Japanese adventure Yojimbo (1961) is a thrilling action movie. It stars Bruce Willis as John Smith, Christopher Walken as Hickey, Bruce Dern […]
The Jackal *** (1997, Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, Sidney Poitier, Diane Venora, Mathilda May, J K Simmons) – Classic Movie Review 4893
Director Michael Caton-Jones’s capable, quite exciting 1997 action thriller is a more than satisfactory remake of The Day of the Jackal (1973), an admittedly much better film that didn’t need a remake. Richard Gere and Bruce […]
