Charro! * (1969, Elvis Presley, Ina Balin, Victor French, Barbara Werle) – Classic Movie Review 9264
Writer/ producer/ director Charles Marquis Warren’s boring 1969 Western film Charro! is one of the real low spots of Elvis Presley’s career. Elvis plays Jess Wade, a one-time outlaw who is set up as the […]
Little Dorrit **** (1987, Derek Jacobi, Alec Guinness, Joan Greenwood, Sarah Pickering,) – Classic Movie Review 9263
Director Christine Edzard’s rich 1987 film Little Dorrit is a deservedly praised, huge-canvas two-part film of Charles Dickens’s romantic drama/ social satire about good Samaritan Arthur Clennam (Derek Jacobi), who returns to England after 20 […]

Little Women ** (2019, Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, Laura Dern, Meryl Streep) – Movie Review
Little Women (2019) is nominated for six Oscars and five Baftas, but it is an over-earnest, plodding and underwhelming movie, with writer-director Greta Gerwig struggling to make Louisa May Alcott’s novel more ‘modern’ and ‘relevant’ […]
Adoring [Chong ai] *** (2019, Wallace Chung, Beibi Gong, Landi Li) – Movie Review
Co-writer/ director Larry Yang’s always likeable, often charming Chinese multi-story comedy drama Adoring [Chong ai] (2019) is a happy New Year movie intertwining half a dozen stories about pets and their owners. Oh, good heavens, […]
A Perfect World *** (1993, Kevin Costner, Clint Eastwood, Laura Dern, T J Lowther) – Classic Movie Review 9260
Producer-director Clint Eastwood’s A Perfect World (1993) is well made and decently paced as a crime thriller entertainment, though it is not as exciting or evocative as the similar Hunted (1952), Badlands, The Sugarland Express […]
