Safe Passage *** (1994, Susan Sarandon, Sam Shepard, Nick Stahl, Sean Astin, Robert Sean Leonard, Marcia Gay Harden, Jason London) – Classic Movie Review 2881
Director Robert Allan Ackerman’s very typically American 1994 rites-of-passage movie is sentimental, often satisfying and ultimately warm and cosy, like a log fire in winter. After playing the matriarch Mrs March in the 1994 Little Women, Susan […]
Encino Man [California Man] **** (1992, Sean Astin, Brendan Fraser, Pauly Shore) – Classic Movie Review 2615
Director Les Mayfield’s 1992 wild and wacky teen comedy is incredibly juvenile but unexpectedly funny and engaging, coming in the wake and style of Bill and Ted and Wayne’s World. It’s now regarded as a classic […]
Bulworth ** (1998, Warren Beatty, Halle Berry, Kimberly Deauna, Sean Astin) – Classic Movie Review 2014
Warren Beatty tries very hard, both as producer-writer-director and star, but seems to have lost his touch in this offbeat 1998 satirical comedy drama. He plays, quite well, suicidally disillusioned liberal senator Jay Bulworth, who […]
Courage Under Fire *** (1996, Denzel Washington, Meg Ryan, Lou Diamond Phillips) – Classic Movie Review 1779
Director Edward Zwick’s 1996 war movie stars Meg Ryan who is working outside her usual romcom comfort zone and isn’t really credible as an action woman. This flashback-told Gulf War drama is seen through the […]
Memphis Belle *** (1990, Matthew Modine, Eric Stoltz, Tate Donovan, Sean Astin) – Classic Movie Review 1286
Producer David Puttnam and director Michael Caton-Jones’s honourable British-made 1990 film was inspired by Hollywood director William Wyler’s remarkable 1943 World War II documentary The Memphis Belle (made for the War Activities Commission) about a young […]
The Goonies **** (1985, Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Jeff Cohen) – Classic Movie Review 298
Written by Chris Columbus and based on an original story by executive producer Steven Spielberg, this spiffing 1985 entertainment is a ripping yarn and an extremely likeable comedy action adventure. It’s bursting at the seams […]
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King ***** (2003, Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Andy Serkis, Viggo Mortensen, Ian McKellen, Hugo Weaving, John Rhys-Davies, Bernard Hill, Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom, Billy Boyd) – Classic Movie Review 34
Elrond (Hugo Weaving): ‘I give hope to Men.’ Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen): ‘I keep none for myself.’ The stupendous battle scenes are again the main event in Peter Jackson’s great final instalment of the must-see the […]
