The Passion of the Christ *** (2004, Jim Caviezel, Monica Bellucci, Maia Morgenstern) – Classic Movie Review 1029
Co-writer/co-producer/director Mel Gibson’s 2004 biblical epic is a totally gruelling but ultimately uplifting and thought-provoking religious experience. Jim Caviezel is the noble embodiment of Jesus Christ, betrayed in the Garden of Gethsemane then tortured in […]
A Time to Kill *** (1996, Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, Samuel L Jackson, Donald Sutherland, Kevin Spacey) – Classic Film Review 1015
Based on the John Grisham bestselling legal thriller novel, director Joel Schumacher’s 1996 movie is an acceptable, quite enjoyable but rather tepid and vaguely botched racially-aware legal thriller. In Mississippi, an African American father Carl Lee […]

The Reader **** (2008, Kate Winslet, David Kross, Ralph Fiennes) – Classic Movie Review 536
‘It doesn’t matter what I feel. The dead are still dead.’ Director Stephen Daldry’s haunting 2008 film of Bernhard Schlink’s 1995 novel Der Vorleser is an uncomfortable and disturbing experience, as intended. It focuses on […]
Primal Fear **** (1996, Richard Gere, Laura Linney, Edward Norton, John Mahoney, Alfre Woodard, Frances McDormand) – Classic Movie Review 471
Director Gregory Hoblit’s 1996 film Primal Fear is an excellent, neatly twisting thriller that grips throughout, with Richard Gere in top gear as Martin Vail, a smug Chicago attorney getting out of his depth when […]
The Wrong Man ***** (1956, Henry Fonda, Vera Miles, Anthony Quayle) – Classic Movie Review 387
Roman Catholic to its very soul, Alfred Hitchcock’s 1956 true-life near docudrama is a devastating portrait of a guiltless victim and his martyrdom. It’s the story of a tormented, Christ-like figure. This time, it’s not […]
