Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 22, 2015
Here is a film from screenwriter Dan Fogelman where Ryan Gosling acts as wing man for an estranged Steve Carell; seems like a basic enough pitch for a movie, and yet thankfully it’s not quite that simple. Early on Jacob (Gosling) implores the washed-up Cal (Carell) to lose the New Balance snea read more

Noah Beery Jr. (1913-1994)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 21, 2015
It’s putting it lightly to say Noah Beery Jr. came out of an acting family. His father, and namesake, Noah Beery Sr., much like his son, was a character actor well respected during the dawn of the film industry. He appeared in both silents and talkies as diverse as The Mark of Zorro (1920) and read more

The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 17, 2015
If the Umbrellas of Cherbourg is a piercing operatic drama, The Young Girls of Rochefort is pure, unadulterated escapism at its finest. Directed by Jacques Demy and starring an ensemble cast including Catherine Deneuve, Francois Doreleac, Gene Kelly, Michel Piccoli, George Chakiris, Grover Paul, an read more
Au Hasard Balthazar (1966)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 17, 2015
Robert Bresson’s Balthazar is the best piece of art I have viewed in sometime and it is art in the sense that it may have various interpretations, it causes us to think, and it elicits an emotional response. In truth, it is a story that I do not fully understand and I can never hope to know, b read more
The Treasure of Sierra Madre (1948) – Updated
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 17, 2015
“If you was to make a real strike, you couldn’t be dragged away. Not even the threat of miserable death would keep you from trying to add ten thousand more. Ten you’d want to get twenty-five, twenty-five you’d want to get fifty, fifty a hundred. Like roulette. One more turn, you know. read more

No Way Out (1950)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 13, 2015
I had a preconceived notion that No Way Out might be the kind of social drama that was groundbreaking for its day and by today’s standards looks mundane and quaint. 65 years have passed and this film from Joseph L. Mankiewicz still packed a wallop, believe it or not. We are blessed with the fi read more

Fourteen Hours (1951)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 11, 2015
Fourteen Hours is a taut little thriller, based off real circumstances that occurred in New York in 1938. The film opens with a young man standing on the ledge of a tall hotel in New York city. An unsuspecting waiter happens upon him and a traffic cop (Paul Douglas) spies him from the street below. read more
High Noon (1952) – Updated
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 11, 2015
Drums softly beating. A voice mournfully bellowing,”Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin‘.” It can only mean one thing, the beginning of High Noon, a western that has grown near and dear to my heart in the recent years. And yet how can a western of under 90 minutes mesmerize and cause read more

All About Eve (1950) – Updated
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 9, 2015
“Fasten your seat belts. It’s gong to be a bumpy night” ~ Margo Channing It’s cliche, I do admit, but they simply do not make films like this anymore. Stories about people talking where the actors take center stage. In this case, the story from Joseph L. Mankiewicz is about read more
