Reckless *** (1935, Jean Harlow, William Powell, Franchot Tone, May Robson) – Classic Movie Review 4942
The 1935 MGM musical melodrama film stars Jean Harlow as a theatre star whose career is endangered by the scandal of her husband’s suicide. Uncomfortably, the tale is plucked by producer David O Selznick from […]
Sing *** (2016, voices Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C Reilly, Taron Egerton, Jennifer Saunders) – Movie Review
In the quest for something completely different, directors Christophe Lourdelet and Garth Jennings’s 2016 animated feature is good quirky fun from Illumination Entertainment, with plenty of laughs, plenty of jolly songs, and plenty of amusing characters. Matthew […]
