Go for Broke (1951)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 7, 2014
Starring Van Johnson along with a handful of WW II vets, this film looks like your average war film. It follows this group of soldiers from their initial training all the way to deployment. Then, we follow their exploits in Italy and France that coincide with their everyday interactions. However, th read more

The Grapes of Wrath (1940)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 6, 2014
I must admit this film directed by John Ford and starring Henry Fonda, surprised me in a positive way. This movie seemed like it could potentially be another Citizen Kane (a movie so inflated with praised that it becomes a letdown when actually viewed). However, The Grapes of Wrath in fact has a read more

Maximilian Schell
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 2, 2014
With the passing of Maximillian Schell yesterday I felt it necessary to say a few words about him. First off, if you have never seen Judgment at Nuremberg take a few hours out of your day and go see it. He gives an absolutely electric performance as a lawyer defending Nazi judges. Perhaps the most e read more

John Ford: Director of the Month
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 1, 2014
There have been preeminent directors over the years, but I think John Ford has the distinction of being a legend in his own time and his legacy has continued far after he stopped making films. Ford is the only director to ever win 4 Oscars for best director (The Informer, The Grapes of Wrath, How read more
