A Man Called Peter (1955)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Dec 19, 2016
The film’s tagline reads, “Your heart will sing with joy” and that about sums up A Man Called Peter. Henry Koster was the director behind such underrated gems as The Bishop’s Wife and Harvey, and although this film is starkly more realistic, it shares the same unabashed earne read more

Japanese War Bride (1952)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Dec 16, 2016
Much like Sam Fuller’s Crimson Kimono (1959), Japanese War Bride’s title carries certain negative stereotypes, however, its central romance similarly feels groundbreaking, allowing it to exceed expectations. The film opens during the waning days of the Korean War. A man lays incapacitate read more

Mystic River (2003)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Dec 14, 2016
When you enter into the world of a film you often expect it to be perfect in your own minds-eye, following your own rationale to a logical conclusion. In that sense, Mystic River is invariably imperfect in how it ties up all its loose ends, but then again, what film really can bear that weight ̵ read more

Walking in the Footsteps of Duke
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Dec 10, 2016
Contrary to popular belief, I wasn’t always a classic movie aficionado or a western lover but you do not have to be either of those to know and love the Duke because he is more of an American icon than a simple movie star in the conventional sense. He’s so integral to the very cultural f read more

The Trial (1962)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Dec 8, 2016
Citizen Kane is so often lauded for the simple fact that never before had a director had so much creative control on a project and exercised it in such an unprecedented fashion, especially given the state of affairs in the Hollywood studio system. It’s an enigma, a stunning debut and really an read more

All the President’s Men (1976)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Dec 6, 2016
You couldn’t hope to come up with a better story than this. Pure movie fodder if there ever was and the most astounding thing is that it was essentially fact — spawned from a William Goldman script tirelessly culled from testimonials. All the President’s Men opens at the Watergate read more

10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Dec 3, 2016
The opening notes of Joan Jett hollering “Bad Reputation” made me grow wistfully nostalgic for Freaks & Geeks reruns. The hope budded that maybe 10 Things I Hate About You would be the same tour de force narrative brimming with the same type of candor. It is not. Not at all. But tha read more

Insomnia (2002)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Dec 1, 2016
“You and I share a secret. We know how easy it is to kill somebody.” – Robin Williams as Walter Finch As I come to understand it, calling Christopher Nolan’s film a remake of the Norwegian thriller of the same name starring Stellan Skarsgaard is not exactly fair. As a directo read more

Pleasantville (1998)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 29, 2016
This was not the film I expected from the outset, and oftentimes that’s a far more gratifying experience. Nostalgia was expected and this film certainly has it, even to the point of casting the legendary funny man and cultural icon Don Knotts in the integral role as the television repair man. read more
