Pre-2024 Film Reviews
The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1933)
- Excerpt: A brisk runtime and some solid acting overcome the poor casting choice that still haunts (The Bitter Tea of General Yen) this would-be epic.
Dad (1989)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Dad is shamelessly hokey and sentimental. However, it is well-meaning in said hokeyness and sentimentality, so I can see why it is appealing to audiences.
Deep Impact (1998)
Nuno Reis @ Antestreia [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Acaba por não ser catástrofe nem exactamente ficção-científica. É um filme sobre ser humano e sobre o que importa.
Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3 (2023)
Her (2013)
Nuno Reis @ Antestreia [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Estamos a seguir o caminho aqui indicado sabendo as consequências e sem pensar em mudar algo. Estar confortável é mesmo o fim da humanidade.
His Girl Friday (1940)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Screwball comedy rarely came as fast, as smooth and as funny as in His Girl Friday. Standout performances by two of the finest actors of their generation showcases the witty script and rapid-fire manner to this witty film.
Safe (1995)
Lia Matthew Brown @ Screen Anarchy
- Excerpt: Directed by Todd Haynes and starring Julianne Moore, it’s an extremely good movie I’d like to never watch again.
Shrek (2001)
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Shrek continues to work (almost) as well as it did in 2001, delighting us with its striking mix of satire, sincerity, adult humour, and memorable characters.
Smash-Up, The Story of a Woman (1947)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Our heroine is living too much of a lush life in Smash-Up, the Story of a Woman. Strong performances and an engaging story make Smash-Up less exploitative than it could have been.
A Town of Love and Hope, Cruel Story of Youth (1959, 1960)
