4 Shots From 4 Films: Contempt, Made in USA, Two or Three Things I Know About Her, Weekend

Posted on September 17, 2015 by Lisa Marie Bowman

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 is all about letting the visuals do the talking.

Last night, I had a choice. I could either watch the Jean-Luc Godard film festival on TCM or I could watch reality TV.

I ended up picking reality TV.

*sigh*

Consider this latest edition of 4 Shots From 4 Films to be a part of my atonement.

4 Shots From 4 Films: Charles Bronson Edition

Posted on August 30, 2015 by Arleigh

I think it’s becoming a sort of unofficial tradition to celebrate a particular film legend’s birthday using the 4 Shots From 4 Films series as platform to showcase these individuals best and lesser-known films.

Today, we focus and celebrate what would’ve been the 93rd birthday of one Charles Dennis Buchinsky. That name may not resonate to the csual film fans, but I’m sure his chosen professional moniker will: Charles Bronson.

Charles Bronson was part of that group of actors during the 60’s and 70’s who epitomized the macho and badass personality on the big-screen. Bronson’s legacy has lived on through such classic films as The Magnificent Seven, The Dirty Dozen and Once Upon A Time In America right up to his more lesser-known films such as Hard Times, Telefon and Death Hunt.

Death Hunt (dir. by Peter R. Hunt)

4 Shots From 4 Films: Park Chan-wook Edition

Posted on August 23, 2015 by Arleigh

With August 23, 2015 winding down I thought it was time to wish South Korean auteur filmmaker Park Chan-wook a happy birthday.

His films have been lauded both in his home country and worldwide. He has recently made his way into finally making a film in Hollywood with the 2013 psychological horror film Stoker. So, while people enjoy his first foray into the the Hollywood film system I thought it best to remind everyone that Park Chan-wook was already a great filmmaker before making the big leap across the Pacific.
