Preminger's most famous film, and one that holds up extremely well today...
I've been watching the entire Otto Preminger catalog lately, and I got around to seeing what is arguably his most famous film. Seeing it again makes me realise that it's a masterpiece of tension, performances, dialogue, and cinematography. There is so much to like about this film. Nothing here in the trial or the characterisations is present in black and white (there's even a dialogue by ...

Smartly Played Star Turns and Agatha Christie's Plot Twists Elevate Wilder's Witty Courtroom Drama
A labyrinth of deception is expected in an Agatha Christie mystery, and those unfamiliar with Billy Wilder's 1957 adaptation of the venerable writer's classic courtroom drama are in for a treat. Even if you already know how it all ends, there are still joys to be had from the star-studded cast and the master filmmaker's craftsmanship. Along with fellow screenwriters Larry Marcus and Harry ...

3 Great Movies with Paul Newman
Paul Newman was and will be one of my favorites actors, not only he was very handsome he was a great actor and the movie The Verdict proves what I am saying. I recomended it and the price is right. Great bargain. 3 movies for the price of one?......Butch Cassidy is another great movie and The Hustler shows how good he was. Thank you for your time, ERT

A great sequel
A sequel of sorts of Newman's 1960 THE HUSTLER, and a great one. Newman, long out of the pool game now, but still unable to forget it, finds Tom Cruise shooting the daylights out of the game one night and talks the brash young kid into going on the road and becoming a hustler, with Newman as his mentor. Then halfway through the picture Newman gets the bug to play again. He and Cruise meet up in ...

20th Century Fox, 2007

Great movie!
When Newman died I decided to buy this movie. It shows him at his prime. The Hustler is a movie about redemption in 1961 America. The movie's pacing is different from the standard movie. This is a classic. It's fun to revisit the 50's and early 60's to see the time and values put forth by Hollywood. This is a pre-Beatle, pre-boomer movie but one that shaped boomer genaeration. Seldom do ...

Paul Newman In The Verdict on DVD
The Verdict (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) One of many of the late, GREAT Paul Newman's fine work on film. I first saw this film in the theater and simply had to purchase the DVD after the sad news of his passing. I think it is one of the must-haves of his work as an actor.

Hud

Paul Newman, Melvyn Douglas

Paramount Pictures, 2003

You're a sociopath, Hud
"Hud" is one of Newman's greatest movies but, interestingly, I find his father, the old man, more compelling. Hud, as his old father notes, has his share of charm and even guts but he has no soul. He doesn't care. He doesn't care about people and lives only for himself. He uses others, especially women, but ultimately he is his own worst enemy and his reward is a emptiness. Initially, ...

An accurate portrayal of journalism
When this movie came out, I was a reporter at a daily newspaper. I went to "Absence of Malice" fully prepared to hate it. Instead, I came away thinking that it was an accurate and believable portrayal of what happens in a newsroom. To this day, I am bothered that journalists too often fail to understand the impact their words have on people's lives. Most journalists I've known prefer to insulate ...

One of the Best Films of 2007
Shadow Watcher Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake Director Sidney Lumet's BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD was one of the very best pictures of 2007, and it's a shame that it was ignored during the Academy Awards. Certainly the script, direction and performances were much better than in many of the films that were honored. A melodrama in the best sense of the word, the New York-based film, ...

An Honest Picture of America's Future
Unlike the previous people that wrote reviews - I follow the path government is taking. Cloning body parts - and selling body parts - is NOW not 2008. This is an EXCELLENT movie for anyone who honestly wants to know what is in store for this country if we do not change the path government is on. Eric Roberts does a superb job of showing a desperate parent - in desperate times - people all over ...

Quality of plots vary among selections
"Runaway Jury" does justice to John Grisham's best-selling novel and they did a good job with casting, directing and acting. Good quality DVD. This is the best movie of the four in Legal Legends Collection Box Set. I would rate "Runaway Jury" ***** and next time would only purchase "Runaway Jury". "The Verdict" I didn't finish viewing the movie, I would rate it * because of Paul Newman's ...

Much better than I expected
With the so-so cover art and Jerry Springer as one of the stars, I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised! Great acting, good production and king of scary, when you consider the movie's premise. Overall, not an academy-award winner, but a great evening's entertainment. Armand Assante gives a good performance.

Quiet Tone Poem in Muskogee
Back in 1984, the hit at the Canne Film Festival was another quiet and cerebral film called Paris, Texas - directed by the German director Wim Wenders (but that was then, and this is now). Here, we get the Danish director Billy August creating a hypnotic imaging of desolate Oklahoma small towns, an innocent woman on death row, and the various players around her story in the last days leading up ...
