Deadly Friend *** (1986, Matthew Labyorteaux, Kristy Swanson, Michael Sharrett) – Classic Movie Review 11,069
‘There’s no one alive who’ll play with the girl next door!’ The 1986 horror Deadly Friend is Wes Craven’s fair sci-fi horror revenge film, in which Matthew Labyorteaux plays Paul Conway, an ultra-clever robotics genius […]
Somebody Up There Likes Me **** (1956, Paul Newman, Pier Angeli, Everett Sloane, Eileen Heckart) – Classic Movie Review 6893
Director Robert Wise’s 1956 biopic drama is the double-Oscar-winning Fifties fight movie classic that turned the 31-year-old Paul Newman into a star. It is one of the great boxing movies. Audiences certainly liked Newman up […]
Dark River ** (2017, Ruth Wilson, Mark Stanley, Sean Bean) – Movie Review
Writer-director Clio Barnard’s dark and gloomy 2017 drama Dark River is a harrowing, depressing experience and a none too successful movie, afflicted by some of the inevitable clichés of the family abuse genre. However, the two […]
Volver **** (2006, Penélope Cruz, Carmen Maura, Lola Dueñas, Yohana Cobo, Blanca Portillo, Chus Lampreave) – Classic Movie Review 3579

Neds **** (2010, Conor McCarron, Peter Mullan, Greg Forrest, Joe Szula) – Classic Movie Review 3341
Director-writer Peter Mullan’s semi-autobiographical film – his third movie after Orphans (1998) and The Magdalene Sisters (2002) – is a real heart-breaker, and an incredibly tough-minded, harsh-toned one, with the whiff, nay stench of reality […]
The Gingerbread Man *** (1998, Kenneth Branagh, Embeth Davidtz, Robert Downey Jr, Robert Duvall) – Classic Movie Review 422
Robert Altman’s neglected 1998 movie is an awkward but by no means negligible noirish thriller, based on a John Grisham original screen story. Kenneth Branagh gives an exceptional performance as a very flawed, unsympathetic hero, […]
American Beauty ***** (1999, Kevin Spacey, Annette Bening, Thora Birch, Wes Bentley, Mena Suvari, Chris Cooper, Allison Janney, Peter Gallagher) – Classic Movie Review 163
Kevin Spacey won the best actor Oscar for his stupendous performance as Lester Burnham, an American middle-class married man undergoing a middle-aged crisis, in the superb 1999 film American Beauty. Kevin Spacey won the best […]
