Lost in Space *** (1998, Gary Oldman, William Hurt, Matt LeBlanc, Heather Graham, Mimi Rogers) – Classic Movie Review 3700
The fondly remembered Irwin Allen 1965-68 family sci-fi TV series lives again in director Stephen Hopkins’s daft but likeable mega-budget ($90million) 1998 big-screen re-creation. A cast of actors rather than stars take the parts of the […]
Siege of the Saxons ** (1963, Ronald Lewis, Janette Scott, Ronald Howard, Mark Dignam, John Laurie) – Classic Movie Review 3650
Set in Arthurian times but with medieval England sets and style, director Nathan Juran’s low-budget 1963 British historical adventure is endearingly feeble, murky, cheap-looking. It extensively reuses footage, costumes and props from the 1954 Alan Ladd […]
Lord of the Flies *** (1990, Balthazar Getty, Chris Furrh, Danuel Pipoly) – Classic Movie Review 3597
Director Harry Hook delivers a surprise 1990 remake in widescreen and colour of Peter Brook’s 1963 film based on William Golding’s classic novel about a group of British schoolboys stranded on a desert island who […]
The Jungle Book **** (2016, Neel Sethi, voices of Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley, Christopher Walken, Idris Elba, Garry Shandling, Scarlett Johansson) – Movie Review
Little Neel Sethi is ideal as the man-cub Mowgli who flees the jungle after a death threat from the tiger Shere Khan. Guided by Ben Kingsley and Bill Murray provide the excellent key voices of Bagheera the panther and the bear […]
Mata Hari, Agent H21 *** (1964, Jeanne Moreau, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Claude Rich, Frank Villard, Albert Rémy, Georges Riquier, Henri Garcin) – Classic Movie Review 3562
Co-writer/director Jean-Louis Richard’s 1964 French New Wave romantic thriller Mata Hari, Agent H21 stars his ex-wife Jeanne Moreau, who was born to play doomed lovers and tragic spies. So, although admittedly not Dutch or a […]
Mata Hari ** (1985, Sylvia Kristel, Christopher Cazenove, Oliver Tobias) – Classic Movie Review 3561
A beautiful, often-naked Sylvia Kristel (Emmanuelle) stars as the real-life Dutch-born dancer and German spy Mata Hari, in director Curtis Harrington’s interesting sex-obsessed soft-porn 1985 film version of the World War One spy story, with […]
Gypsy **** (1993, Bette Midler, Peter Riegert, Cynthia Gibb, Ed Asner) – Classic Movie Review 3556
Bette Midler is brilliantly vibrant and vivacious as the ultimate showbiz mother Mama Rose Hovick, in Emile Ardolino’s 1993 film remake of the all-time great Jule Styne – Stephen Sondheim musical Gypsy. The ideally cast […]
