Pre-2024 Film Reviews
The Arrival from the Darkness, St. Wenceslas (1921, 1930)
The Maltese Falcon (1941)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: The Maltese Falcon is a brilliant film noir, full of clever quips, cleverer dames and an outstanding debut for one of the great filmmakers.
The New Mutants (2020)
Pulp: A Film About Life, Death & Supermarkets (2014)
Paulo Portugal @ insider.pt [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Mais de uma década depois, os Pulp em versão cinema demonstram que não perderam a vitalidade e reforçam o seu lado proletário.
Pluto (2012)
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: “Pluto” is an angry and unsettling examination of an education system that teaches students to treat one another as obstacles. Despite some narrative confusion, melodramatic excess and occasional lagging, Shin combines social drama and psychological thriller with considerable force. Most importantly, the movie does not merely condemn cruel teenagers. It shows how institutions, absent parents and historical patterns of authoritarianism can create them.
Please Don’t Eat the Daisies (1960)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Please Don’t Eat the Daisies is a small, episodic but pleasant enough film that keeps to (Doris) Day’s sunny cinematic disposition.
