Director John Guillermin’s fascinating 1964 African-set adventure movie Guns at Batasi, with a theme about the passing of British colonialism, is greatly invigorated by stiff-lipped performances by Richard Attenborough, Flora Robson, Jack Hawkins and Cecil […]

Sweet Country **** (2017, Hamilton Morris, Sam Neill, Bryan Brown, Matt Day, Ewen Leslie) – Movie Review

Stripes *** (1981, Bill Murray, John Candy, Harold Ramis, Warren Oates, P J Soles, Sean Young, Judge Reinhold, John Larroquette) – Classic Movie Review 6521
The team behind 1979’s Meatballs reconvene for director Ivan Reitman’s follow-up military spoof comedy in 1981. The results are pretty much the same. It is equally amiable, broad and fairly crass. Bill Murray and Harold […]
