Hannah Arendt (2012)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 23, 2016
The term “banality of evil” has floated through the lexicon ever since German philosopher and columnist Hannah Arendt coined the phrase during the Eichmann trial back in 1961. In fact, the words gained so much traction that they have undoubtedly lost some impact due to overuse. However, read more

Review: The Awful Truth (1937)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 21, 2016
The Awful Truth came out of a trend that was in vogue during the 1930s. It’s called a comedy of “remarriage.” During the Hays Code era, it allowed films to nimbly skirt the whole issue of divorce and extramarital romance. We would see it again in the more remembered screwball His G read more

The Martian (2015)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 16, 2016
The Martian is not the film you first expect. It’s a space thriller. It has tense moments assuredly, but it also has an astute sense of humor that pulses through the film as its life blood. It makes Ridley Scott’s latest endeavor, based on the novel by Andy Weir, all the more palatable b read more

The Marriage of Maria Braun opens with a bang and a thud, literally, as bombs rain down on Germany in the waning hours of WWII. It’s perhaps the most chaotic wedding ceremony ever put to celluloid. And the story ends in an equally theatrical fashion. But although the beginning and the end do s read more

Hard Times (1975)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 7, 2016
It’s hardly Charles Dickens, but still, Hard Times is a real tooth and claw street brawler. We have Charles Bronson as our token taciturn drifter, tough and down on his luck during the Depression. James Coburn is Speed, a fast-talking promoter looking for a quick buck. Walter Hill’s read more
