Pre-2023 Film Reviews
Coal Miner’s Daughter (1980)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: So long as music has the power to move us, or take us back, the memories of Loretta Lynn and Coal Miner’s Daughter (song and film) will never fade.
Miracle on Main Street (1939)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Miracle on Main Street is a little-known film that has no major stars or big budget. What it does have is a lot of heart and a moving story.
Network (1976)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Cruel but horrifyingly accurate and prescient, Network dives into its tale with a mix of sharp wit and bitter cynicism.
Norma Rae (1979)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Based on a true story, Norma Rae starts out weak but slowly starts rising, much like the title character herself.
Prey (2022)
Nuno Reis @ Antestreia [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Satisfaz por não exagerar. Era o que a saga devia ter feito na última década.
The River (1951)
- Excerpt: The Technicolor cinematography by Claude Renoir (son of actor Pierre, nephew of director Jean, grandson of painter Pierre-August) is a big part of what makes this film work…
Suspicion (1941)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: While a lesser Hitchcock film than what would come after, Suspicion is better than I had originally remembered.
Women in Love (1970)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Women in Love, I figure, was daring for its time. Now, it is a slog to sit through.
