Murderers’ Row ** (1966, Dean Martin, Ann-Margret, Karl Malden, Camilla Sparv, James Gregory, Beverly Adams) – Classic Movie Review 6374
There is some mild Sixties spy spoof fun to be had from director Henry Levin’s silly, vacuous second Matt Helm 1966 spy comedy-thriller caper (following the hit The Silencers). The splendidly insouciant, carefree, unconcerned and light-hearted Dean Martin […]
The Pelican Brief ** (1993, Julia Roberts, Denzel Washington, Sam Shepard) – Classic Movie Review 6373
Screen-writer/ producer/ director Alan J Pakula’s sleek and polished 1993 movie was the second of John Grisham’s legal thriller novels to hit the screen – after The Firm (1993) with Tom Cruise. But it suffers […]
Piranha *** (1978, Bradford Dillman, Heather Menzies, Kevin McCarthy, Keenan Wynn, Dick Miller, Barbara Steele) – Classic Movie Review 6372
With the story and screenplay written by John Sayles, director Joe Dante’s 1978 monster movie Piranha is a cult favourite. It is still probably Sayles’s most amusing film to date, though obviously not best – […]

The Dinner **** (2017, Richard Gere, Laura Linney, Steve Coogan, Rebecca Hall, Charlie Plummer, Chloë Sevigny) – Movie Review
Guess who’s coming to dinner? Richard Gere, Laura Linney, Steve Coogan and Rebecca Hall are. And it all because their teenage sons, Charlie Plummer, Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick and Miles J Harvey, have got into quite a spot of bother. Coogan […]
Matewan **** (1987, Chris Cooper, James Earl Jones, Mary McDonnell, Will Oldham, David Strathairn, Ken Jenkins, Kevin Tighe) – Classic Movie Review 6,370
John Sayles’s outstanding 1987 film Matewan is a meaty, intelligent drama about a violent clash between a West Virginia 1920s coal company and striking miners. Chris Cooper, James Earl Jones and David Strathairn star. Writer-director […]
Blaze *** (1989, Paul Newman, Lolita Davidovich, Jerry Hardin, Gailard Sartain) – Classic Movie Review 6369
