Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jul 23, 2017
This was yet another pleasant surprise. Just when I think I’ve finally washed by hands of superhero movies the cineplexes are blessed by two pictures like Wonder Woman and then Spiderman: Homecoming. And they couldn’t be more different. Still, as much as Wonder Woman was invested in its read more

The Big Clock (1948)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jul 20, 2017
With its rather dreary title aside, The Big Clock is actually an enjoyable thriller that works like well-oiled clockwork. It’s true that oftentimes the most relatable noir heroes are not the hardboiled detectives, although they might be tougher and grittier, it’s the hapless everymen who read more

D.O.A. (1950)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jul 14, 2017
As one of the greatest B-films of its day, D.O.A. is framed by a crackerjack gimmick that actually pays heavy dividends.
