Flipper ** (1996, Elijah Wood, Paul Hogan) – Classic Movie Review 3901
Director James B Clark’s 1963 children’s movie Flipper is remade by writer-director Alan Shapiro in 1996 with Elijah Wood and Paul Hogan to mild effect. Everything is brisk, businesslike and professional but just none too ecxiting. […]
Let Me In **** (2010, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Chloë Grace Moretz, Elias Koteas, Richard Jenkins, Dylan Minnette) – Classic Movie Review 3783
Sparks fly when the boy from The Road (2009) meets the girl from Kick-Ass (2010). Kodi Smit-McPhee plays Owen, a lonely, dorky 12-year-old boy with a telescope, prying on the neighbours. Chloë Grace Moretz plays Abby, apparently […]
Baskin *** (2015, Mehmet Cerrahoglu, Gorkem Kasal, Ergun Kuyucu) – Movie Review
Writer-director Can Evrenol makes his feature début, after eight short films, remaking his eighth short Baskin. He goes all out to shock in his Turkish horror movie story that follows a squad of unsuspecting cops who first bicker and […]

Lost in Space *** (1998, Gary Oldman, William Hurt, Matt LeBlanc, Heather Graham, Mimi Rogers) – Classic Movie Review 3700
The fondly remembered Irwin Allen 1965-68 family sci-fi TV series lives again in director Stephen Hopkins’s daft but likeable mega-budget ($90million) 1998 big-screen re-creation. A cast of actors rather than stars take the parts of the […]
Siege of the Saxons ** (1963, Ronald Lewis, Janette Scott, Ronald Howard, Mark Dignam, John Laurie) – Classic Movie Review 3650
Set in Arthurian times but with medieval England sets and style, director Nathan Juran’s low-budget 1963 British historical adventure is endearingly feeble, murky, cheap-looking. It extensively reuses footage, costumes and props from the 1954 Alan Ladd […]
Lord of the Flies *** (1990, Balthazar Getty, Chris Furrh, Danuel Pipoly) – Classic Movie Review 3597
Director Harry Hook delivers a surprise 1990 remake in widescreen and colour of Peter Brook’s 1963 film based on William Golding’s classic novel about a group of British schoolboys stranded on a desert island who […]
