The Boys in the Band **** (1970, Leonard Frey, Kenneth Nelson, Reuben Greene, Cliff Gorman, Frederick Combs, Robert La Tourneaux, Laurence Luckinbill) – Classic Movie Review 2,973
William Friedkin’s 1970 movie The Boys in the Band was a very significant game-changer and remains an important document of its time. It is one of the earliest US films to revolve around gay characters […]
Staircase ½ (1969, Richard Burton, Rex Harrison) – Classic Movie Review 2972
Producer-director Stanley Donen’s shameful 1969 effort is a ghastly, dated and embarrassing film version of Charles Dyer’s 1966 two-hander stage play. Two of the acting profession’s most celebrated heterosexual movie stars, Richard Burton and Rex […]
Loot ***½ (1970, Richard Attenborough, Hywel Bennett, Roy Holder, Lee Remick, Milo O’Shea, Dick Emery, Joe Lynch, John Cater, Aubrey Woods) – Classic Movie Review 2971
Director Silvio Narizzano films Joe Orton’s wickedly funny, now classic 1965 stage black comedy Loot in 1970 – the same year as the movie of Entertaining Mr Sloane. To succeed, Orton’s outrageous, wonderfully bad-taste comedy […]
Entertaining Mr Sloane ***½ (1970, Beryl Reid, Harry Andrews, Peter McEnery, Alan Webb) – Classic Movie Review 2970
The provocative 1970 British gothic black comedy film Entertaining Mr Sloane brings Joe Orton’s wonderfully entertaining stage play to the screen with incisive performances but its wit slightly blunted. Director Douglas Hickox’s provocative 1970 British […]
The Fog * (1980, Adrienne Barbeau, Jamie Lee Curtis, Janet Leigh, John Houseman, Hal Holbrook, Tom Atkins, Nancy Loomis, Charles Cyphers) – Classic Movie Review 2969
Director John Carpenter, who had just done horror so brilliantly with Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) and Halloween (1978), comes up with this feeble, daft and unconvincing 1980 spook chiller. In Carpenter’s screenplay, written with Debra Hill, […]
Eragon *** (2006, Ed Speleers, Sienna Guillory, Jeremy Irons, Robert Carlyle, John Malkovich, Garrett Hedlund, Alun Armstrong, Gary Lewis, Djimon Hounsou, Chris Egan) – Classic Movie Review 2968
Beating 180,000 applicants, the 18-year-old Ed Speleers left Eastbourne College in June 2006 before completing his A-levels to take the title role of Erago in this robust and entertaining 2006 big-screen version of the popular novel by Christopher […]
The Lobster **** (2015, Colin Farrell, Olivia Colman, Ben Whishaw, Léa Seydoux, John C Reilly, Rachel Weisz, Jessica Barden) – Movie Review
Co-writer/director Yorgos Lanthimos satirises modern romance in an impeccably crafted old-style art movie, recalling some Seventies art house classics, that is catnip for film festivals. With the art movie and the art house apparently things of […]
