Guns at Batasi **** (1964, Richard Attenborough, Flora Robson, Jack Hawkins, John Leyton, Cecil Parker, Mia Farrow) – Classic Movie Review 8135
Director John Guillermin’s fascinating 1964 African-set adventure movie Guns at Batasi, with a theme about the passing of British colonialism, is greatly invigorated by stiff-lipped performances by Richard Attenborough, Flora Robson, Jack Hawkins and Cecil […]
Castle on the Hudson [Years Without Days] ** (1940, John Garfield, Ann Sheridan, Pat O’Brien, Burgess Meredith, Henry O’Neill, Jerome Cowan) – Classic Movie Review 8022

Sweet Country **** (2017, Hamilton Morris, Sam Neill, Bryan Brown, Matt Day, Ewen Leslie) – Movie Review
Sweet Country is a sweet racially charged Australian Western. Director Warwick Thornton’s obviously ironically named Australian Western, inspired by true events on the Northern Territory frontier in the 1920s, stars Hamilton Morris as middle-aged Aboriginal […]
Tribes [The Soldier Who Declared Peace] **** (1970, Jan-Michael Vincent, Darren McGavin, Earl Holliman) – Classic Movie Review 6733
Director Joseph Sargent’s 1970 American TV movie Tribes was thought good enough to show in British cinemas, with its powerful tale of a grizzled US Marine Corps drill instructor, Gunnery Sergeant Tom Drake (Darren McGavin), taking on […]
Stripes *** (1981, Bill Murray, John Candy, Harold Ramis, Warren Oates, P J Soles, Sean Young, Judge Reinhold, John Larroquette) – Classic Movie Review 6521
The team behind 1979’s Meatballs reconvene for director Ivan Reitman’s follow-up military spoof comedy in 1981. The results are pretty much the same. It is equally amiable, broad and fairly crass. Bill Murray and Harold […]
