The Portrait of a Lady **** (1996, Nicole Kidman, John Malkovich) – Classic Movie Review 1264
Director Jane Campion’s 1996 period drama literary adaptation is a chilly but excellent version of the Henry James novel, set in 1870s England. Everything about it is extremely plush, subtle, expert and just right. Nicole […]
Pecker *** (1998, Edward Furlong, Christina Ricci, Bess Armstrong) – Classic Movie Review 1048
An amiable if rather obvious 1998 satirical comedy from writer-director John Waters, who tones down his trademark bad taste and doesn’t have quite enough big laughs or big charm to put in its place. Edward Furlong stars […]
The Monuments Men *** (2014, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Cate Blanchett, Jean Dujardin, Bob Balaban, Hugh Bonneville) – Movie Review
George Clooney directs himself as Frank Stokes, who gets together an unlikely, unfit, over-the-hill World War Two military platoon of art blokes to rescue art masterpieces from Nazi thieves and return them to their owners. They’re particularly after […]

Artist Julian Schnabel’s 1996 portrait of the New York art scene of the 80s and Jean-Michel Basquiat in particular, who in 1981 is propelled from an unknown 19-year-old graffiti writer into a rich and much-courted famous […]
Airport ’77 ** (1977, Jack Lemmon, Lee Grant, George Kennedy, Olivia de Havilland, James Stewart, Joseph Cotten, Darren McGavin, Christopher Lee) – Classic Movie Review 673
Director Jerry Jameson’s 1977 third Airport movie is a lumbering disaster movie epic that is completely preposterous and often unintentionally funny. But it is still fairly exciting and somewhat enjoyable. It sends a luxury 747 airliner […]
Tea with Mussolini **** (1999, Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Joan Plowright, Cher, Lily Tomlin, Baird Wallace, Claudio Spadaro, Michael Williams) – Classic Movie Review 107
This splendid 1999 film is a lightly fictionalised version of Italian director Franco Zeffirelli’s true-life story, which starts in pre-World War Two Fascist Italy, when, as a boy, he is befriended by a group of redoubtable English ladies, […]
