Algiers **** (1938, Charles Boyer, Hedy Lamarr, Sigrid Gurie, Joseph Calleia, Gene Lockhart) – Classic Movie Review 4297
Director John Cromwell’s sleek and shiny 1938 escapist exotic adventure epic stars Charles Boyer as Algiers Casbah thief Pépé le Moko, who falls in love with the beautiful Gaby (Hedy Lamarr) – understandable, but a mistake! – […]
Last Holiday *** (2006, Queen Latifah, LL Cool J, Timothy Hutton, Gérard Depardieu, Giancarlo Esposito, Alicia Witt, Jane Adams) – Classic Movie Review 4285
Queen Latifah stars as Georgia Byrd in an amusing and enjoyable remake of the 1950 British semi-classic Last Holiday with Alec Guinness, in a project intended for John Candy but shelved on his death. Queen Latifah plays […]
Little Women **** (1949, June Allyson, Elizabeth Taylor, Peter Lawford, Margaret O’Brien, Janet Leigh, Mary Astor, Rossano Brazzi, Lucile Watson, C Aubrey Smith) – Classic Movie Review 4266
Director Mervyn LeRoy’s 1949 movie Little Women is an expensive and colourful remake of director George Cukor’s 1933 classic Little Women, based on Louisa May Alcott’s famous novel about four sisters finding romance. The lovely […]
Pete’s Dragon ***½ (2016, Bryce Dallas Howard, Robert Redford, Oakes Fegley, Wes Bentley, Karl Urban, Oona Laurence) – Movie Review
Disney’s ecologically minded and morally minded remake of its 1977 classic Pete’s Dragon is an odd little film but it is sweet and I liked it. Though warm, friendly, down-home and old fashioned Americana, it is quite […]
Willard *** (2003, Crispin Glover, R Lee Ermey, Laura Harring, Jackie Burroughs) – Classic Movie Review 4091
At long last, a great role for Crispin Glover in writer-director Glen Morgan’s sharp, stylish and thoroughly enjoyable 2003 remake of the 1971 chiller in which he has the part of his life as Willard […]
The Browning Version ** (1994, Albert Finney, Michael Gambon, Matthew Modine, Julian Sands, Greta Scacchi, Ben Silverstone, Maryam D’Abo) – Classic Movie Review 4013
Albert Finney tries very hard in director Mike Figgis’s completely unwanted 1994 remake of The Browning Version, the fine 1951 film version of Terence Rattigan’s touching one-act play. It is now way out of its time, […]
Ghostbusters ** (2016, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, Chris Hemsworth) – Movie Review
Based on Ivan Reitman’s 1984 classic Ghostbusters, written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, co-writer / director Paul Feig’s 2016 remake is two hours of patchy effects-driven comedy. Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones star as a middle-aged […]
