Review: The Godfather (1972)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Mar 3, 2016
That moment when the undertaker is first seen pleading for justice and the camera slowly pulls closer, it’s so slight we hardly even notice it, but we hear his bitter monologue about America and his disfigured daughter. A head appears in the frame and we get our first vision of the now iconic read more

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Mar 1, 2016
His ambitious follow-up to The Birth of the Nation a year before, D.W. Griffith’s Intolerance boasts four narrative threads meant to intertwine in a story of grand design.

Commissar (1967)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 28, 2016
Even with the so-called Krushchev Thaw, it’s pretty amazing that Commissar even got made and perhaps even more astounding that it made it to the viewer all these years later. Some of that might be because it originated from Russian Civil War literature and anything else we can attribute to lu read more
Spotlight (2015)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 27, 2016
“It’s not just physical abuse it’s spiritual too.” I wrote a piece tracing the obvious parallels between All the President’s Men and Spotlight, two films that I could easily see both shaking the very framework of American society through their very candid portrayal of j read more

A Most Wanted Man (2013)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 26, 2016
A Most Wanted Man gained some notability as one of the last works of Philip Seymour Hoffman, and it must be acknowledged that he gives a truly worthwhile performance. He’s Gunther Bachmann, the German head of a covert team that is looking to undermine potential threats from Islamic terrorist o read more

La Strada (1954)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 25, 2016
Federico Fellini’s La Strada is in the tradition of other films like Chaplin’s The Circus (1928) and even Nightmare Alley (1947). He even goes so far as to feature two regular Hollywood performers in Anthony Quinn and Richard Basehart. This film is prominent for helping the Italian maste read more

The Revenant (2015)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 24, 2016
By definition a revenant is someone who returns, but there is often a connotation that they are returning from the dead like a specter. The term gives major insight into Alejandro González Iñárritu’s latest undertaking with Leonardo DiCaprio. It’s a fully immersive, grimy, gory, grisly, read more

Viridiana (1961)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 23, 2016
Luis Bunuel like another cinematic auteur, Ingmar Bergman, seems to often fill his films with religious imagery and themes, but whereas Bergman appears to have genuine questions about his own spirituality, Bunuel is all but content to subvert all such depictions for his own purposes. He has a wicked read more

That Thing You Do! (1996)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 20, 2016
Recently I’ve seen a lot of films about music, musicians, and the like. There’s Llewyn Davis, who seems to have talent and yet gets little recognition for what he does. There’s the street musician in Once, who also has a lot of talent and we like to think that he makes the big time read more

Pillow Talk (1959)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 18, 2016
It’s the original Rock Hudson Doris Day Rom-Com, with the seemingly perpetual split screen, to match the party line that constantly weaves its way through the story. It’s technicolor, it has an infectious title track, and it’s absurd wackiness somehow adds up to a boy-gets-girl hap read more
