Here are our latest reviews of films on DVD.
Pre-2020 Film Reviews
Con Air (1997)
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: The bad guys are really bad, the good guys are really good (despite having been in jail!), and the action scenes are full of explosions, destruction, and sweaty, muscular men.
Kundun (1997)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Respectful, reverential to the point of deifying the Dalai Lama, Kundun is a beautiful but sadly hollow portrait of this historic figure.
Lincoln (2012)
Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: In LINCOLN, Spielberg tells the history of the two great conflicting goals Abraham Lincoln had toward the end of the Civil War–to free the slaves and to end the fighting. Spielberg does not simplify the issues; the viewer may have to work hard to catch all that is happening, but the task is worth the effort.
Love Slaves of the Amazons (1957)
- Excerpt: Boys are killed at birth while girls become savage murderers. Who are we to judge their alternative lifestyle?
Shanghai Surprise (1986)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: I found Shanghai Surprise to be a “so bad it’s good” film, a film that did entertain me, if perhaps if not the way it ended it to be.
