R.I.P. Paul Newman
Reel Fanatic —
I had planned to talk about Spike Lee's uneven but often wildly entertaining "Miracle at St. Anna" today, but I instead woke up to the rather depressing news that Paul Newman had died. He was 83 and had suffering from cancer for quite a while, and therefore hadn't acted too often in recent years, most recently adding his voice to Pixar's "Cars." Looking back through his IMDB resume, he made many movies that I and the rest of the world love, but if I had to pick three favorites, they would have to be 'The Hudsucker Proxy," "The Hustler" and, of course, "Cool Hand Luke." Probably the most quotable movie of all time, that ...

Dave's Blog About Movies and Such —
A true master has died. It would be futile to attempt to sum up Paul Newman's work in one of my simple posts, so I will be brief. Throughout his career, this iconic actor was the embodiment of both cool and quiet rebellion. In so many of his films he portrayed the self assured anti-hero. Even when his characters' attempts to buck the system proved futile, he convinced us that their fights were not in vain. This was no truer than in his portrayal of chain gang member Lucas Jackson in Cool Hand Luke. Growing up, there were few movies I watched more than this one. This movie, like no other, spoke to my inner rebel. In Luke's defiance of ...

Paul Newman And Me: America's Greatest Actor Mattered
Cinema Blend News —
Paul Newman And Me: America's Greatest Actor Mattered Hollywood isn't exactly known as the place to find role models, and over the last few decades it's been particularly devoid of people who are as humble and generous as they are talented. It's a fact that makes the place seem all the more dreary for the loss of one of its greatest. My first encounter with Paul Newman came when The Sting happened to run on TV one day. My Dad, a fan of the movie (as much for Joplin's classic rag theme as Newman and Redford's performances), tuned me in to it. I can't say I was immediately amazed, but I was a kid. I didn't know any better. High school brought ...
