Pre-2023 Film Reviews
American Gigolo (1980)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: In terms of the mystery both of the crime and of the heart, American Gigolo can be called anytime, anyplace, anywhere.
The Bigamist (1953)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: A short runtime and an engaging production all around makes The Bigamist worth watching.
Children of a Lesser God (1986)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: With strong performances from the cast, Children of a Lesser God gives us an intelligent view of the struggles not just of deafness itself but of within that world.
Fargo (1996)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Murder and mayhem were never so endearing and polite as they are in Fargo.
Gangster Squad (2013)
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It definitely helps to watch it without taking into consideration the complicated context in which it was released, and rather keeping in mind its clear pulpy, simple and unpretentious inspirations.
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (1992)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: The Hand that Rocks the Cradle is self-aware in how it is a bit absurd, almost camp. However, it has a strong performance that makes it delicious watching.
Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Magical realism gets the cinematic treatment in Kiss of the Spider Woman.
Min and Bill (1930)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Min and Bill…is a delightful dramedy, balancing humor and heart.
Monster (2003)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: I still find that Monster is a misnomer given how sympathetic it was towards Aileen Wuornos. That perhaps may be the most monstrous element in Monster.
Pride & Prejudice (2005)
The Third Man (1949)
- Excerpt: The Third Man is a banquet that offers so much of everything that you will never run out of things to enjoy within it, even as you may have already had too much of some other things it offers.
Tron (1982)
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It still works as a visually interesting and extremely ’80s adventure. It’s not for everyone, but fans of science fiction and vintage technology will enjoy “Tron.”
Tron: Legacy (2010)
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: “Tron: Legacy” isn’t perfect, but it’s the perfect “legacy sequel” (ha); understandable for new viewers and exciting for fans of the original.
The Villagers (2018)
Sebastian Zavala @ Ventana Indiscreta [Spanish]
- Excerpt: The Villagers isn’t the best Don Lee film I’ve seen, nor is it a great representation of his charisma or physical talents, but fans will still enjoy this modestly ambitious film.
