The Battle of Algiers (1966)

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 5, 2015

Being rather oblivious to the relations between France and Algeria as well as the battle of Algiers, this documentary-style film proved to be an enlightening and thoroughly engaging historical exercise. I certainly cannot corroborate all the facts, but the reality is, The Battle of Algiers is one of read more

Schindler’s List (1993) – Updated

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 3, 2015

What is there to say about Schindler’s List except that it is necessary viewing for its depiction of Shoah, suggesting that, literally, out of the ashes beauty and hope will rise. It would be rather callous to call Steven Spielberg’s film pure entertainment. True, he comes with a pedigre read more

Jaws (1975) – Updated

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 1, 2015

Alfred Hitchcock once was quoted as saying, in typical Hitchcockian fashion, “There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.” A young Steven Spielberg channeled this type of sentiment when he directed the smash hit and archetypal summer blockbuster Jaws in 1975. It’ read more

L’Atalante (1934)

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 28, 2015

Here is perhaps one of the greatest wedding processions we could ever hope to see. Buster Keaton is more outrageously funny in Seven Chances, but this one is solemn, and somehow still funny in it’s own way. And that’s what is most striking about L’Atalante (which also serves as the read more

Through a Glass Darkly (1961)

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 26, 2015

There is so much that could be talked about with Through a Glass Darkly, but I feel the need to point out the more obvious to begin with. Ingmar Bergman, in retrospect, envisioned this film as the first installment in his 1960s trilogy. As such, the film is a chamber piece that takes place entirely read more

Comanche Station (1960)

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 24, 2015

Comanche Station opens with a man who willfully goes into Comanche territory. We don’t quite know why at first, but through haggling and bartering he’s able to save a captured white woman. It doesn’t come out until much later but it turns out that Jefferson Cody’s (Randolph S read more

Seven Men From Now (1956)

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 22, 2015

Along with Detour, Budd Boetticher’s Seven Men from Now is undoubtedly one of the greatest B-films I have seen to date. It rejuvenated the career of Randolph Scott who plays gruff sheriff Ben Stride. We are introduced to the often stoic man when he walks into a dimly lit cave during a torrenti read more

The Tall T (1957)

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 22, 2015

The Tall T is a little different riff on the Budd Boetticher western, because it follows a former ranch hand named Pat Brennan who makes a stop at a local stagecoach way station to pay a visit to some locals before riding into the nearby town. Quickly we can see that Brennan is a little more jovial read more

The Bravados (1958)

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 20, 2015

The Bravados opens with an ominous stranger in black riding towards a town. He doesn’t say much, but his presence alone creates tension enough. He gets led into town by the local deputy and after a meeting with the sheriff he is allowed to stick around. His only reason for coming to the city o read more

Yellow Sky (1948)

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 18, 2015

From William A. Wellman comes an unheralded western with an intriguing cast dynamic. Gregory Peck is the undisputed star as the boss of a group of outlaws who ride into town, pull a quick bank job, and are forced to flee from the Cavalry across the desert wasteland. It’s the prerogative of  read more
