The Draughtsman’s Contract ***** (1982, Janet Suzman, Anthony Higgins) – Classic Movie Review 4577
Wayward genius writer-director Peter Greenaway’s 1982 British historical mystery is incredibly beautiful looking and most handsomely played, though it can be infuriating, at any rate as a The Name of the Rose-style arty period thriller. […]
The Court Jester ***** (1955, Danny Kaye, Basil Rathbone, Mildred Natwick, Cecil Parker, Glynis Johns, Angela Lansbury) – Classic Movie Review 4576
The five-star 1955 classic comedy adventure The Court Jester from writer-directors Norman Panama and Melvin Frank is the one Danny Kaye film to take with you to a desert island. It is a deliriously carefree […]
S. Darko * (2009, Daveigh Chase, Briana Evigan, James Lafferty, Ed Westwick, Jackson Rathbone, John Hawkes, Elizabeth Berkley) – Classic Movie Review 4575
Director Chris Fisher’s unpopular and unsuccessful 2009 sequel to Donnie Darko (2001), S. Darko, centres unprofitably on Sam (Daveigh Chase), Donnie’s younger sister, and her best friend Corey (Briana Evigan), who get entangled in a dangerous […]
The Fountainhead **** (1949, Gary Cooper, Patricia Neal, Raymond Massey, Kent Smith, Robert Douglas, Henry Hull, Ray Collins) – Classic Movie Review 4572
Director King Vidor’s 1949 drama is an ambitious and far-reaching though fruity, muddled and rambling film of Ayn Rand’s famous novel. The Fountainhead stars an oddly cast, haggard-looking Gary Cooper, who gives a solid enough […]
Elvira Madigan **** (1967, Pia Degermark, Thommy Berggren, Lennart Malmer) – Classic Movie Review 4574
Writer-director Bo Widerberg’s gorgeously pretty 1967 lovers-on-the-run romance Elvira Madigan, set in 19th-century Sweden, was a huge art house cinema hit in the Sixties. Widerberg’s screenplay is based on a real-life 19th century romantic story […]
Keeping Up with the Joneses *** (2016, Zach Galifianakis, Isla Fisher, Jon Hamm, Gal Gadot, Patton Oswalt, Kevin Dunn) – Movie Review
Director Greg Mottola’s 2016 action comedy is a surprise success, pulling off the difficult trick of recycling a familiar premise and some tired old situations and still managing to be funny. Mottola’s got Galifianakis to calm right down […]
Mum’s List **** (2016, Rafe Spall, Emilia Fox, Elaine Cassidy, Ross McCormack, Sophie Simnett) – Movie Review
Emilia Fox and particularly Rafe Spall give the most poignant and brilliant performances as a loving married couple in this heart-rending real-life story. In an obvious labour of love, Mum’s List is very carefully and […]
