Fat City **** (1972, Stacy Keach, Jeff Bridges, Susan Tyrrell) – Classic Movie Review 4145
Director John Huston’s honest and touching 1972 story of loneliness and failure is written by Leonard Gardner and based on his 1970 novel. It provides ideal roles for Stacy Keach and Jeff Bridges, in their excellent […]

Co-writer/ director Tom Holland’s disturbing, highly effective 1988 fantasy horror movie Child’s Play sees Brad Dourif as the dying serial killer Charles Lee Ray who gives his soul to Chucky the doll, a seemingly innocent […]
Dune **** (1984, Kyle MacLachlan, Kenneth McMillan, Francesca Annis, Brad Dourif, José Ferrer, Linda Hunt, Freddie Jones, Richard Jordan, Jack Nance, Sian Phillips, Sting, Patrick Stewart, Dean Stockwell, Max von Sydow) – Classic Movie Review 4,143
David Lynch’s career unfairly took a nose-dive with the box-office failure of his spectacular, visually thrilling 1984 epic film of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi novel Dune. Unfairly scorned, Lynch’s Dune is more of an exciting near-triumph […]
Coma **** (1978, Geneviève Bujold, Michael Douglas, Rip Torn, Richard Widmark, Lois Chiles, Elizabeth Ashley, Tom Selleck, Ed Harris) – Classic Movie Review 4142
Writer-director Michael Crichton’s hit 1978 medical thriller is 110% all it needs to be, tense, suspenseful, unusually unsettling and particularly satisfying. An ideally cast Geneviève Bujold is really effective as a feisty and intrepid junior […]
Eyes of Laura Mars ** (1978, Faye Dunaway, Tommy Lee Jones, Brad Dourif, Raul Julia, René Auberjonois, Lisa Taylor, Darlanne Fluegel) – Classic Movie Review 4141
Director Irvin Kershner’s trashy 1978 occult psycho-chiller Eyes of Laura Mars is frankly incredible and distasteful and has a particularly nasty tone. It is packed with irritating red herrings and climaxes with an unconvincing twist […]
