Pre-2022 Film Reviews
American Madness (1932)
Marilyn Ferdinand @ Wonders in the Dark
- Excerpt: The pro-capitalist bent of American Madness contrasts the warped greed of Mr. Potter in It’s a Wonderful Life. Is this an example of an evolution in Capra’s thinking, or was American Madness simply a feel-good attempt at squaring the circle?
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Yes, the first two Columbus films were a success and introduced us to this universe in a fun way. But Cuarón gave it texture, verisimilitude and thematic depth, establishing a tone that was maintained until the eighth instalment.
Mad Max 2 (1981)
Dan Stalcup @ The Goods: Film Reviews
- Excerpt: It is prototypical and quintessential. Coming at Mad Max 2 with fresh eyes, it suffers a bit simply for being the basis of every instance of post-apocalyptic worldbuilding in the decades since.
Omen IV: The Awakening (1991)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Hilariously bad, poorly acted, with a simply dreadful story, Omen IV: The Awakening mercifully was the end of this forced franchise that started well and collapsed under its own convoluted weight.
