"The Sting The Sting has been one of my top favorites for a while now, so I had to show it to my girlfriend. It's got Chicago; great music; a great script that keeps moving; that wonderful collaboration of Robert Redford, Paul Newman, and George Roy Hill that worked just as fantastically in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid; and we can't forget Robert Shaw; fun direction and structure with the different title cards for the different acts. Some people have pointed out that while the film takes place in the 1930s the Scott Joplin music was composed some time during the first decade of the 1900s. Nonetheless it fits perfectly. I don't think I have to defend why this isn't really a problem. The great thing about this movie is that you think as an audience you are in on all the tricks. I don't want to give away anything at all, but the brilliance of the film is that the real sting is as much on the audience as it is on any of the other characters. The thing that gets me about tryin ... "

"Indecent Proposal(1993) Vezi mai multe video din Film » When I was a kid growing up in the west the dueling sex symbols were Burt Reynolds and Robert Redford, and I was solidly in the Redford camp (though by the time I reached adulthood I’d switch sides and bat for Burt). In fact, Redford became my first movie star crush after I watched him light up the screen in Sydney Pollack’s 1979 The Electric Horseman opposite (post-bombshell Barbarella) Jane Fonda. Sure, the sight of pretty boy Redford as former rodeo star Sonny Steele reduced to donning cowboy duds trussed up with lights worthy of a Christmas tree to hawk breakfast cereal is ludicrous, but Redford managed to suavely pull it off with his inherent masculine dignity. Sonny, like The Sundance Kid, is a physical man’s man, his frat boy looks belying a passionate rebel who clearly identifies with those wild horses that can never be tamed. And interestingly, as a sex symbol, Redford not only vied with Reynolds throughout his ear ... "

"Paul Newman passed away on Friday after a long battle with cancer, and he will be sorely missed. As early as May he had been planning to direct a stage version of John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, but he had to cancel due to his health. He’s a winner of every major award an actor can pull down, from Oscar to Emmy, and he appeared in over 50 feature films. Besides his work in film, television and on the stage, he also served in World War II, and has been a longtime humanitarian. Paul Newman retired from acting in May of 2007, but he left behind a large body of work that should be in your Netflix queue or on your shelf at home. Here’s a look at some of his best films, and why you should be watching them in tribute. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Arguably the film Newman is the most famous for, this was the first "

"Fantastic Fest is hosting four “Secret Screenings” of movies that haven’t been released yet, and the first one unspooled last night to a theater full of people who had no idea what they were about to see. Rian Johnson was in town with a print of his movie The Brothers Bloom, and one lucky audience got to see it several months early. It’s hard to watch Bloom and not think about the world that Wes Anderson’s films inhabit. Places where people travel by steamship, are always immaculately dressed, and consist of extreme caricatures. Johnson’s first feature Brick had that quality, and The Brothers Bloom has it in spades. It’s a fantasy world that Johnson himself probably wouldn’t mind living in, and I’m sure he’d have a fair share of people willing to follow him. At least one theater full of people last night wouldn’t have minded. Bloom is the story of two brothers, Bloom and Stephen, who bounce from house to house as foster children while cooking up elaborate confidence schemes to line "

"1. Manhattan: A Woody Allen classic all too often overshadowed by Annie Hall. The story is pretty much the same as most of Allen's films. He plays a lusty, bumbling New Yorker seeking love wherever he can find it�a search which lands him with a high schooler and later his best friend's mistress. With Meryl Streep and Diane Keaton. 2. Small Time Crooks: One of the few recent Woody Allen films worth seeing. The story follows one cookie manufacturer from near failure and foreclosure to fortune and fraud: delightful! 3. Coming to America: Eddie Murphy at his best! Murphy as an African prince arrives in Queens to find a wife and goes undercover as an employee at fast-food restaurant. 4. Trading Places: Eddie Murphy was so funny once, what happened? Oh, right. Enter: Norbit. Here, Dan Aykroyd and Murphy team up to get back at Aykroyd's boss and stick it to The Man. 5. Blu "

"Dominique Standaert's Hop is not what can be expected. It is a weird cross between Day Night Day Night and The Sting. The cast is small but the story is large, and surprizing to see so quickly after 2001. Kalomba Mbuy is Justin, a quick witted straight A student with a secret. Both he and his father (Ansou Diedhiou) are illegal immigrants. When his father is framed by some vicious and racist neighbors, Justin is forced to flee. It is then he meets Frans Missone (Jan Decleir) a retired anarchist who still has problems woth the law. He also meets Gerda (Antje de Boeck) the woman who loves Frans, and has for a long time. Both Frans and Gerda become Justin's parents and go out of their way to help his get his father back after he is deported. What should be a stark, dark "
