Pre-2024 Film Reviews
Flower of Mold (2023)
Foreign Correspondent (1940)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Blending suspense, romance, a dash of comedy and a bit of propaganda, Foreign Correspondent might be longer than needed but has enough positives to make it a worthwhile watching.
Laura (1944)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Film noir never came so lush and elegant as it does in Laura. Excellent performances, a daring twist and a deeply romantic score create one of the most fascinating and beautiful mysteries ever made.
Obsessed (2014)
- Excerpt: We review Kim Dae-woo’s Obsessed, the Korean erotic melodrama starring Song Seung-heon and Lim Ji-yeon, exploring desire, PTSD and repression.
Rear Window (1954)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Rear Window takes its simple premise and works it into a well-crafted suspenseful scenario.
Return from Witch Mountain (1978)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Return from Witch Mountain is solid family-friendly entertainment that will appeal to its target audience.
Separate Tables (1958)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Separate Tables might be seen as Grand Hotel’s lower-rent cousin. The disparate, desperate lives of those in Separate Tables flows well even if it never fully escapes its stage roots.
The Terminator (1984)
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: A sci-fi classic that delights in telling a circular story of temporal paradoxes, full of memorable characters, great performances, classic lines (“I’ll be back”, “come with me if you want to live”) and lots of action.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: A surprisingly personal film, considering it deals with futuristic robots, legendary leaders, and the world’s end. The action may be massive, but the emotional core of the narrative lies in interpersonal relationships.
