Here are our latest reviews of films for home viewing.
Pre-2023 Film Reviews
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
The Hours
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: The Hours benefits from strong performances and production work that make it good viewing.
Klute
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Standout performances and a strong style are some of Klute’s best qualities.
Missing
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Missing chronicles the brutality of the 1973 (Chilean) coup through the experiences of one family. It is a well-acted, directed and written film that one remembers long after the credits roll.
Oro, Plata, Mata
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: “Oro, Plata, Mata” is a true epic masterpiece on every level. The way Gallaga guides the story from a “Gone with the Wind”-style saga into something closer to “Platoon” or “Apocalypse Now” — before grounding it firmly again — is handled with remarkable confidence and artistry.
Raat Akeli Hai
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
Route One/USA
Michael Barrett @ PopMatters.com
The Seventh Victim
- Excerpt: The great strength of The Seventh Victim lies in its ability to create a mood, from the oily elegance of the Satanists to a terrifying trip on the New York subway and an equally terrifying night walk through Greenwich Village.
The Sin of Madelon Claudet
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: The Sin of Madelon Claudet is a bit stagey, sometimes melodramatic, but in the end a decent enough film.
Tootsie
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Struggling, temperamental actors find that life can be a drag in Tootsie. Blending satire and sincerity, Tootsie works as a strong dramedy.
Van Helsing
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Between its spectacular production design, excellent makeup work, interesting visual effects and ambitious story, “Van Helsing” feels like an inflated, epic, varied and fast-paced adventure.
