The Truman Show (1998)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 4, 2016
Yogi Berra famously once said, If the world was perfect, it wouldn’t be. And to go even further still, in As You Like It Shakespeare wrote, the world is a stage and all the men and women are merely players. They have their exits and entrances.” So it goes with this film — The Truma read more

Review: The Maltese Falcon (1941)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 2, 2016
Dashiell Hammet’s “blonde satan” Sam Spade is an icon of not only 20th-century literature but also 20th-century cinema, thanks in part to Humphrey Bogart and John Huston. He’s the cynical, hard-nosed, unsentimental P.I. whose general unpredictability sometimes leads to angry read more

Film Theory, Film Criticism, Film History and Where I Stand
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 1, 2016
Someone posits the following question: Are you interested in critical film theory? My first response is what even is “critical film theory?” And I know in academic terms they are probably talking about film theory or film studies and the many strands of thought and analysis that h read more

4 Living Legends Part 1
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 30, 2016
I said awhile back that I wanted to acknowledge a few living legends who are still with us in a series of short posts and I’ve finally gotten around to it. Enjoy! Olivia De Havilland (1916 – ): One of the famed sisters who starred in numerous Hollywood especially in the 30s and 40s, Oli read more

The Last Year at Marienbad (1961)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 28, 2016
As I’ve grown older and, dare I say, more mature, I like to think that I’ve gained a greater appreciation for those moments when I don’t understand, can’t comprehend, and am generally ignorant. Now I am less apt to want to beat myself up and more likely to marvel and try and read more

Catch-22 (1970)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 26, 2016
It’s the bane of my literary existence, but I must admit that I have never read Joseph Heller’s seminal novel Catch-22. Please refrain from berating me right now, perhaps deservedly so, because at least I have acknowledged my ignorance. True, I can only take Mike Nichol’s adaptatio read more

In the Name of the Father (1993)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 24, 2016
We are met with a deluge of drums, explosions, and the unmistakable voice of Bono murmuring over the credits. The year is 1974 in Guilford England, the Irish Republic Army is as belligerent as ever, and right from the beginning director Jim Sheridan’s In the Name of the Father grabs hold of ou read more

Advise & Consent (1962)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 21, 2016
This is an Otto Preminger film about politics. That should send off fireworks because such a divisive topic is only going to get more controversial with a man such as Preminger at the helm — a man known for his various run-ins with the Production Code. All that can be said is that he didn̵ read more

My Left Foot (1989)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 19, 2016
As the film opens we watch a foot slowly wiggling its toes. It’s nothing extraordinary because we’ve undoubtedly seen this million of times. If not on film then at least in our own lives. But it’s what the foot does that piques our interest. Quite dexterously but still straining, read more

Finding Neverland (2004)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 17, 2016
Peter Pan was immortalized by Disney in 1953, but as with many of the great fairy tales that they have adapted, it’s easy to forget that there was an earlier spark. These stories do not begin and end with Disney. They have a far more complex origin story and ensuing history. So it goes with J. read more
