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 […]
Brighton Rock *** (2010, Sam Riley, John Hurt, Andrea Riseborough, Phil Davis, Andy Serkis, Helen Mirren) – Classic Movie Review 3972
Sam Riley, from Control (2007), is ideally cast as teenage gangster Pinkie Brown, a psychotic petty hoodlum at large in post-war Brighton, in director Rowan Joffe’s intriguing 2010 remake of the 1947 classic thriller Brighton Rock, […]
True Grit *** (2010, Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Hailee Steinfeld, Josh Brolin, Barry Pepper, Domhnall Gleeson) – Classic Movie Review 3970
The 2010 remake of True Grit (1969) is a very decent, old-fashioned Western with strong, rock-solid performances. But, with its thin, slim-feeling story and relatively low impact, it is a slight disappointment from directors Ethan Coen and […]
The Desperate Hours ** (1990, Mickey Rourke, Anthony Hopkins, Mimi Rogers, Lindsay Crouse, Kelly Lynch, Elias Koteas, David Morse) – Classic Movie Review 3963
Director Michael Cimino’s 1990 remake of William Wyler’s fondly remembered 1955 Humphrey Bogart thriller The Desperate Hours about a gang of convicts who terrorise a family household is disappointingly tepid and routine. This time Mickey Rourke […]
Not of This Earth * (1995, Michael York, Parker Stevenson, Elizabeth Barondes) – Classic Movie Review 3956
Director Terence H Winkless’s quite bad and totally uncalled for 1995 movie is the second remake of the 1957 Roger Corman movie about a vampire alien arriving on Earth. Admittedly, it is decently special effects […]
The Sunshine Boys ** (1996, Woody Allen, Peter Falk, Michael McKean, Whoopi Goldberg) – Classic Movie Review 3931
In 1996 we didn’t actually need a new version of Neil Simon’s perennial hit play about feuding vaudeville partners when there is already the nigh-on ideal 1975 film The Sunshine Boys with George Burns and […]
3:10 to Yuma **** (2007, Russell Crowe, Christian Bale, Peter Fonda, Gretchen Mol, Ben Foster, Dallas Roberts, Alan Tudyk, Vinessa Shaw, Logan Lerman) – Classic Movie Review 3908
Russell Crowe and Christian Bale star in director James Mangold’s strong, gritty, film noir-style 2007 Western, a commendable remake of the 1957 3:10 to Yuma, based on Elmore Leonard’s short story . A well-cast Crowe and Bale give […]
