They Drive By Night (1940)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Apr 28, 2015
This is a surprisingly nice little film-noir that follows two brothers (George Raft and Humphrey Bogart) who make their meager living transporting loads of produce by night on a big rig. Despite the seemingly mundane topic, They Drive by Night has some juicy bits of drama as the brothers struggle to read more

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Apr 25, 2015
“How’d you get Diane Court to go out with you?”
“I called her up.”
“But how come it worked? I mean, like, what are you?”
“I’m Lloyd Dobler.” She’s a brain, he’s not, sounds simple right? For such a basic premise Say Anything& read more

Howl’s Moving Castle (2004)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Apr 23, 2015
Certainly this newer addition to the work of Ghibli Studios and Miyazaki is not his best due to a lack of cohesion within the story-line and the rapid coming and going of characters. However, with that aside, as always the animated landscapes and backdrops are as beautifully breathtaking as ever. It read more

Clueless (1995)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Apr 22, 2015
Here is a high school teen comedy that is actually quite entertaining. Based off Jane Austen’s Emma, the story gets a 90s face lift. Cher is the quintessential ditsy Beverly Hills girl. She is popular, beautiful, and she knows how to dress. However, perhaps most importantly of all we learn ove read more

The Shawshank Redemption (1994) – Updated
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Apr 20, 2015
This film originated from a Stephen King novella called Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. The actress actually does play into this movie and her famed hair flip from Gilda even makes a memorable appearance. However, the shortening of the title not only simplifies things, but it refocuses the f read more

Rear Window (1954) – Updated
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Apr 18, 2015
Who in their right mind would make a film that takes place in a courtyard? Rear Window has always been fascinating from a technical standpoint, and Alfired Hitchcock is certainly not “The Master of Suspense” for nothing. He uses the confined space of a single Greenwich Village courtyard read more

Dazed and Confused (1993)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Apr 16, 2015
This film struck me as being very reminiscent of American Graffiti. It did for 1976 Texas, what the other film did with 1962 Modesto California. It has its own share of cars, a killer soundtrack, and ensemble cast involved in all sorts of vignettes and escapades. School’s out and all that is l read more

Lost Horizon (1937)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Apr 14, 2015
Certainly this is not the most well known or the best film of Capra. It is in fact quite different from a lot of his filmography. That is not to say that it is not an enjoyable film about a man who finds a little piece of Utopia called Shangri-La. Ronald Colman was certainly a likable fellow in the read more
