Passion Fish **** (1992, Mary McDonnell, Alfre Woodard, Angela Bassett) – Classic Movie Review 6371
John Sayles won the first of his two Oscar nominations for Best Screenplay so far for Passion Fish (1992) and Lone Star (1996), though arguably Matewan (1987) is still probably Sayles’s best film to date and Piranha (story and screenplay) might be his […]

The Apostle **** (1997, Robert Duvall, Todd Allen, Farrah Fawcett) – Classic Movie Review 5401
Writer-director-star Robert Duvall’s 1997 drama is extraordinary, motored by Duvall’s barnstormingly powerful performance as an extremely egotistical religious man, the Texas preacher Euliss ‘Sonny’ Dewey, who sets himself above everything and everybody. His life falls […]
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood *** (2002, Sandra Bullock, Ashley Judd, Ellen Burstyn, Maggie Smith, James Garner, Fionnula Flanagan, Shirley Knight, Angus Macfadyen) – Classic Movie Review 5009
A total chick-flick is on the menu as some of the screen’s mightiest ladies gather for co-writer/ director Callie Khouri’s heartwarming, life-affirming 2002 Southern saga, set in a sleepy Louisiana small town. Sandra Bullock is […]
Texas Across the River ** (1966, Dean Martin, Alain Delon, Joey Bishop, Rosemary Forsyth, Tina Aumont, Peter Graves, Andrew Prine, Michael Ansara) – Classic Movie Review 4779
Director Michael Gordon’s 1966 tongue-in-cheek Technicolor comedy Western Texas Across the River is a passable old-style entertainment, but at heart it is just a humble B-movie programme filler movie, with only mild entertainment value. The […]
