Here are our latest reviews of films for home viewing.
Pre-2024 Film Reviews
Athlete A (2020)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: The phrase “go for the gold” takes an ominous and sinister turn in the documentary Athlete A.
Birdman of Alcatraz (1962)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Misnamed, curiously laudatory of its subject, and longer than necessary, the celebration of Birdman of Alcatraz puzzles me.
Five Fingers (2006)
House of Dracula (1945)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: (House of Dracula) is perhaps the weakest entry in the Universal Frankenstein franchise (and probably in the Dracula and Wolf Man franchises too).
Jane (2017)
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: “Jane” has its faults, but it is quite good for a debut, while the performances of the two aforementioned actors definitely place it on a higher level than the majority of South Korean indie movies.
Oppenheimer (2023)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Oppenheimer, the biopic of the “father of the atomic bomb” is a brilliantly acted and directed film. It is filled with remarkable images and insight into this complex figure.
Satan Met a Lady (1936)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: If nothing else, it would be worth watching to see Bette Davis making the best effort to save a film and her performance. Other than that, it is good that Satan Met a Lady is pretty much forgotten now.
