RoboCop *** (2014, Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L Jackson, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley, Jay Baruchel) – Movie Review
First of all, Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 futuristic action thriller is a cracking classic that didn’t need remaking. But, that said, if you must remake it, director José Padilha’s movie is the way to go. Swedish […]
M *** (1951, David Wayne, Howard Da Silva, Martin Gabel, Steve Brodie, Raymond Burr, Norman Lloyd, Luther Adler, Glenn Anders) – Classic Movie Review 772
Director Joseph Losey’s faithful 1951 remake of the 1931 Fritz Lang classic, relocated to 50s California, is an intriguing and disturbing film noir thriller. But it’s surprisingly bloodless and proves one of his disappointments. Despite its […]
The Postman Always Rings Twice ***** (1981, Jack Nicholson, Jessica Lange, John Colicos) – Classic Movie Review 745
Bob Rafelson’s 1981 neo-noir erotic thriller film The Postman Always Rings Twice marks David Mamet’s screenwriting debut. Jack Nicholson stars as seedy drifter Frank Chambers and Jessica Lange teams up with him as sultry diner […]
Insomnia **** (2002, Al Pacino, Robin Williams, Hilary Swank) – Classic Movie Review 472

King Kong *** (1976, Jeff Bridges, Charles Grodin, Jessica Lange) – Classic Movie Review 411
There’s a huge monster, high adventure, tongue-in-cheek humour and even a dash of sex in director John Guillermin’s busy and conscientious but patchy and rather uninspired 1976 remake of the 1933 all-time great fantasy adventure […]
The Fly ***** (1986, Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis, John Getz) – Classic Movie Review 194
‘I don’t think The Fly is mainstream,’ claims David Cronenberg. ‘A mainstream movie is one that isn’t going to rattle too many cages. No horror film is truly mainstream.’ Point taken, but nevertheless, when he […]
Cape Fear **** (1991, Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange, Juliette Lewis, Illeana Douglas, Joe Don Baker) – Classic Movie Review 177
Robert De Niro terrorises Nick Nolte, and Joe Don Baker plays a morally dubious private investigator, in Martin Scorsese’s 1991 American neo-noir psychological thriller film remake Cape Fear. Martin Scorsese boldly remakes J Lee Thompson’s much-admired 1962 thriller masterwork Cape Fear, […]
