If you know what you want in life be sure of it and you can’t miss. I found that out early.  ~ Lawrence Tierney as Sam Wilde Reno was always a Hollywood euphemism.

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jul 24, 2017

Aesthetically, Robert Siodmak’s roots in German Expressionism are crucial to the formation of the film-noir world as we know it today and Criss Cross has to be one of the most diverting additions to his repertoire. Once more he’s paired with his star from The Killers (1946) Burt Lancaste read more

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

Veronika Voss (1982)

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jul 18, 2017

You get a sense that if they had ever met, Norma Desmond and Veronika Voss might have been good friends. Either that or they would have hated each other’s guts.

Baby Driver (2017)

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jul 16, 2017

Edgar Wright has a reverence for movies, he knows his movies, and when he makes his own movies there’s always an inherent understanding of the cinematic landscape–taking what’s already been done and proceeding to add his own affectionate spin on it. There are aspects of his filmogr 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. We watch a man making his way down a long corridor as the typically stringent score of Dimitri Tiomkin pounds away behind the credits. In this initial moment, our protagonist Fran read more
