Here are our latest reviews of films on DVD.
Pre-2020 Film Reviews
An Old Potter (1969)
- Excerpt: An Old Potter is a good movie, presenting a very interesting story in entertaining fashion, which would have been much better, if not for the intense melodramatic part.
Blossoms in the Dust (1941)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
Body of Evidence (1993)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Blessed with bad performances, a muddled story, delightfully lacking in logic, I am surprised that Body of Evidence hasn’t become either a cult or midnight film.
The Dead (1987)
Invasion (2017)
- Excerpt: “Invasion” is definitely a hard movie to watch but at the same time, I can easily say, that for its originality only, it definitely deserves a look. Truth be told, however, almost half a day after I watched the film, I am still perplexed about its quality
John Carpernter’s The Thing (1982)
Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: June 25 is the fortieth anniversary of the release of JOHN CARPENTER’S THE THING (not to be confused with THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD (1951) or THE THING (2011)). Briefly, this is a logic puzzle mixed with an alien invasion story.
Jurassic World (2015)
David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: Jurassic World doesn’t come close to holding a candle to its original predecessor and falls a bit short of character development and memorable thrills. However, for reviving a franchise, it gets the job done by being nothing but a fun blockbuster ride adventurous enough to want more.
Kongjwi and Patjwi (1977)
- Excerpt: The message the movie presents, of the perseverance of good people prevailing against the cunningness and the cruelty of evil people are somewhat detrimental, when examined through a contemporary prism, but as a whole, “Kongjwi and Patjwi” emerges as a rather appealing, very easy-to-watch spectacle.
Night is Short, Walk on Girl (2017)
- Excerpt: Evidently, the general style, both in terms of pace, dialogue and visuals is somewhat difficult to follow, and demands the viewer’s full attention in order to appreciate it fully, not to mention a knack of absorbing the chaos. However, if one were to surpass this “limitation”, he would come across a really great title, which continues Yuasa’s nonconformist path, in the best way.
