Film Critic

La Grande Illusion (1937)

"Masterpiece (...) Though not an easy film, in any sense, it's worth the effort (…) Rating: ***** (out of 5)"

Radio Times
Ben-Hur (1959)

"There's no denying that the race that forms the famous climax is one of the most iconic sequences in Hollywood history (…) Rating: ***** (out of 5)"

Radio Times
Grease (1978)

"This film sets itself the peculiar task of trying to evoke nostalgia for a time before most of its audience would have been born (...) Stranger still, it succeeds in the task (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

Radio Times
Mutiny on the Bounty (1935)

"This may be [director Frank Lloyd]'s best movie of all (...) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

Radio Times
Big (1988)

"Penny Marshall's polished direction combined with Hanks's gauche charm make it the best of the spate of body-swap movies turned out by Hollywood in the late 1980s (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

Radio Times
Nine to Five (9 To 5) (1980)

"It was Fonda who came up with the idea of making a Hollywood version of a feminist comedy, but it is Tomlin and Parton whose performances impress more (…) Rating: *** (out of 5)"

Radio Times
Good Morning, Vietnam (1987)

"The movie loses its way (...) whenever it tries to get serious, but when Williams is behind the studio mike, it offers a decent showcase for his virtuoso talents (…) Rating: *** (out of 5)"

Radio Times
The Ten Commandments (1956)

"This masterpiece of heroic vulgarity represents the Hollywood epic at the peak of its all-American powers (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

Radio Times
Hope and Glory (1987)

"Sebastian Rice-Edwards gives an extraordinarily confident performance in the lead role, and he's matched by Geraldine Muir (...) A delightful movie (…) Rating: ***** (out of 5)"

Radio Times
Hang 'Em High (1968)

"It's perhaps more memorable as a staging post in Eastwood's career than as a landmark in the history of the Hollywood western (…) Rating: *** (out of 5)"

Radio Times
Queen Christina (1933)

"Not a pacey film, but, overall, almost as beautiful as Garbo herself"

Radio Times
The Sea Hawk (1940)

"This rip-roaring adventure yarn was made at lavish expense, and, as they say, it all shows up there on the screen."
