4 Shots From 4 Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking!

Today, the Shattered Lens wishes a happy 57th birthday to Zack Snyder!  Zack Snyder has been a favorite (and occasionally a not-so-favorite) of many of the people who have written for this site.  Speaking for myself, I loved Sucker Punch and disliked Man of Steel.  (Arleigh, for the record, liked both.) But Snyder is a filmmaker about whom no one seems to be neutral.  That’s definitely something of which to take some pride.  I was not a fan of the whole idea behind the Oscar Fan Favorite nonsense last year, there was something satisfying about both of those awards being won by films directed by a man who Hollywood has often tried to dismiss.

In honor of Zack Snyder’s birthday, here are….
