Review: Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 27, 2015
How to speak of Dr. Strangelove? To clarify I mean the film and not the character. First and foremost, it’s one of those films that has so much significance, because of the era it came out of and for the way it represents that time and space. It’s the defining film about the Cold War, mu read more
Short Term 12 (2013) – Updated
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 25, 2015
In recent years Hollywood has been the land of superhero films, special effects extravaganzas, and star-studded drama. It all fits into the mold of this industry personified by sun-soaked beaches joined with excessive glitz and glam.Go down the California coast to San Diego and you find a slightly m read more
R.I.P. Maureen O’Hara (1920-2015)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 25, 2015
I came home this weekend to find that the great Maureen O’Hara had passed away at 95 years of age. It’s a bittersweet moment, because “The Queen of Technicolor” was a fiery heroine of some many great films and numerous personal favorites like Miracle on 34th Street and The Qu read more

The Dark Corner (1946)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 23, 2015
“I’m backed up into a dark corner and I don’t know who’s hitting me.” It’s always satisfying to find another little gem of a film-noir, and I think this thriller from Henry Hathaway fits that bill. Our stars include a serious and quite beautiful Lucille Ball along read more

The Professionals (1966)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 21, 2015
Who wouldn’t be enticed by a film entitled The Professionals? It feels a little like an amalgamation of The Magnificent Seven, The Dirty Dozen, with a little sprinkling of Mission Impossible, and dare I say The Wild Bunch? We have a band of four big time pros who are brought together to rescu read more

Libeled Lady (1936)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 19, 2015
Libeled Lady has screwball comedy written all over it and that’s perfectly alright with such a glorious cast. Myrna Loy and William Powell are reunited once again (for one of their 13 pairings), but we also get Jean Harlow and Spencer Tracy. Amazing! The set-up is easy and pretty self-explanat read more

Scarface: The Shame of a Nation (1932)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 17, 2015
Gangsters, prohibition, Al Capone, the St. Valentine Day’s Massacre. It all sounds like some distant piece of folklore that by now is far removed from our modern day sensibilities. But when films like The Public Enemy, Little Caesar, and of course Scarface came out, these things were at the fo read more

Joan Leslie (1925-2015)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 16, 2015
For Classic Film Aficionados most of our favorite stars have passed on and that makes any star or starlet we lose now that much more noteworthy. Joan Leslie is such a figure, not a major star by any means, but she certainly had some great films in her catalog. Without knowing who she was and barely read more

People Will Talk (1951)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 15, 2015
People Will Talk is in this weird gray area between genres. It has humor but it’s not screwy enough to be a screwball. It has drama, but it’s not intense enough to be a full-fledged melodrama. And underlining all this are issues that reflect such areas as the medical industry, the Korean read more

Donnie Brasco (1997)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 13, 2015
In the tradition of such films as Serpico, Goodfellas, and even The Departed, Donnie Brasco is another worthy addition to the gangster canon. You have a necessary mainstay in Al Pacino, playing the veteran and street wise hit man Lefty. He’s been around and is claimed to have 26 “whacks read more
