Here are our latest reviews of films on DVD.
Pre-2022 Film Reviews
Cageman (1992)
Mogambo (1953)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Mogambo tells our tale of lust among the white savages in darkest Africa with surprising restraint, but with lush African footage on the whole the film flows well.
Om (1995)
- Excerpt: “Om” is an excellent gangster movie that moves much beyond the borders of the genre, and a film that has stood the test of time, easily offering entertainment even today.
The Private Files of J. Edgar Hoover (1977)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: The Private Files of J. Edgar Hoover, I think, suggests something lurid will be discovered within them. While a bit haphazard, The Private Files of J. Edgar Hoover manages a balance between the idea of a dedicated lawman and a paranoid tyrant.
Pushover (1954)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Pushover is a well-acted, well-directed story, even if it covers familiar film noir ground.
The Star (1952)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Earning the penultimate Oscar nomination of her career, The Star is a respectable Bette Davis vehicle.
The Swordsman (1990)
- Excerpt: Although not a Shaw Brothers production, the movie follows the recipe of the iconic company, having, though, better production values. The chaos and the lack of logic are here as always, but so is the fun, which definitely makes “The Swordsman” a film worth watching. Now I am only curious to know what exactly Ann Hui did in the film.
