Stalker ****½ (1979, Aleksandr Kaydanovskiy, Anatoliy Solonitsyn, Alisa Freyndlikh) – Classic Movie Review 4210
Director-cinematographer Andrei Tarkovsky’s brilliantly cerebral, uniquely disturbing 1979 Russian film tells a tantalisingly oblique and mystifying story about about a Stalker (Aleksandr Kaydanovskiy) who guides two intellectuals through the so-called Zone, a forbidden area of […]
Solaris [Solyaris] ***½ (1972, Natalya Bondarchuk, Donatas Banionis, Jüri Järvet) – Classic Movie Review 4209
Esteemed Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1972 sci-fi epic is intelligent, challenging and visually wonderful, thanks to Mikhail Romadin’s brilliant art direction, but it also seems impenetrable, pretentious and vastly overlong at 167 minutes. The screenplay […]
Solaris ***½ (2002, George Clooney, Natascha McElhone, Viola Davis, Jeremy Davies, Ulrich Tukur) – Classic Movie Review 4208
George Clooney acts his socks off as civilian psychiatrist Dr Chris Kelvin, a shrink who sets off to investigate the mystery deaths of scientists on a cut-off space station at the video request of his friend Dr […]
I Spy ** (2002, Eddie Murphy, Owen Wilson, Malcolm McDowell, Famke Janssen) – Classic Movie Review 4207
Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson play the Sixties TV show characters in director Betty Thomas’s mild, slackly made 2002 action comedy that runs like a poor copy of a Bond movie. Wilson is his usual […]
Spy Kids 3D: Game Over *** (2003, Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, Daryl Sabara, Alexa Vega, Sylvester Stallone, Salma Hayek, Ricardo Montalban) – Classic Movie Review 4206
Thrilling 3D effects spark writer-director Robert Rodriguez’s 2003 third part of his super teen spy series, in which spy-kid Carmen (Alexa Vega) is trapped in a video game by the evil Toymaker (Sylvester Stallone), and her brother […]
Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams *** (2002, Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, Daryl Sabara, Alexa Vega, Steve Buscemi, Ricardo Montalban, Cheech Marin, Danny Trejo, Mike Judge, Bill Paxton) – Classic Movie Review 4205
Young Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara return as plucky sibling spies Carmen and Juni Cortez, in writer-director Robert Rodriguez’s brilliantly fast-paced 2002 adventure that is very nearly as dazzling as his 2001 original Spy Kids. This time Carmen […]
Demon Seed *** (1977, Julie Christie, Fritz Weaver, Gerrit Graham, Berry Kroeger, Lisa Lu, Larry J Blake, John O’Leary) – Classic Movie Review 4204
Julie Christie enjoyed a rare commercial success in this rather nasty 1977 sci-fi thriller as a scientist’s wife held hostage by a giant mechanised brain. This weird but effective movie has some very telling shock moments […]
