News1967 — a very good year for the antiheroby Bruce Dancis [McClatchy Newspapers (MCT)][12.Sep.08] :. “Cool Hand Luke,” starring Paul Newman, is filled with contrasts and ironies.

Featured Article Film FeaturePaul Newman’s Influential, Classic Performances in The Hustler and The Verdictby Matt Mazur[18.Oct.07] :.

TV DVD ReviewEdward R. Murrow: The Best of Person to Personby Bill Gibron[19.Jan.07] :. He stood up to one of America's most notorious politicians and upheld the principles of truth and justice. It's just too bad Edward R. Murrow applied that strategy to everything he did, including celebrity interviews. Inside The Actors Studio - Iconsby Matt Mazur[1.Dec.06] :. Tuning in to see stars at their most bat-shit loony is one of the most pure forms of contemporary American entertainment, so there is a grain of merit to be found in each episode. Featured Article Film DVD ReviewButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)by Glenn McDonald[25.Jul.06] :. Historians and pulp comic fans knew their story, but most didn't. The enduring image of the affable outlaws was born in this classic 1969 film. That the story is fairly true to life is even more remarkable. Cars (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[9.Jun.06] :. Thrilling in its shiny surface detail, the NASCAR scene stretches before you like an anthropomorphized vista: this is the immediate future of animation, and Pixar, recently and loudly sold to Disney, means to own it.

Road to Perdition (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[12.Jul.02] :. The perfectly grim surface evokes eons of pain, as well as a highly stylized contemporary sensibility, not so much cynical as skeptical and self-aware.
