Here are our latest reviews of films on DVD.
Pre-2017 Film Reviews
Captain America: Civil War (Croatian)
Dragan Antulov @ Draxblog VI [2016]
The Devil Commands
Roderick Heath @ This Island Rod [1941]
- Excerpt: The Devil Commands has links not just with Lewton’s wartime-defined horror style but also the tonally very different run of movies like A Guy Named Joe (1943) and A Matter of Life and Death (1946), where audiences would be appealed to with tales plaintively asking if the departed were truly gone.
The Grand Duel
Peter Nellhaus @ Coffee, Coffee and more Coffee [1972]
- Excerpt: The influence of Leone is hard to miss, especially the series of close-ups of the eyes of Lee Van Cleef and his adversaries in the final shootout.
Memento
James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture [2000]
The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea
Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies [1976]
- Excerpt: …the movie is poorly paced, losing rather than gaining steam as it goes on, and the acting is flat and uninspired.
The Story of Dr. Wassell
Roderick Heath @ Film Freedonia [1944]
- Excerpt: The Story of Dr. Wassell engaged then-current geopolitics as DeMille’s lone contribution to the era of morale-boosting dramas made about and during World War II.
