NEWMANIA!

Starting tomorrow, I'll be kicking off a four film salute to Paul Newman, which I'm dubbing "NEWMANIA!". This will be the second of six major "events" during this 100. Paul Newman has a total of six films in the "1001" book and last 100 two of them were watched and those two ("Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "The Sting") made the TOP 20. Suffice it to say that I have high hopes for these four movies and four Newman movies should be just what the doctor ordered to cleanse my pallet after recent stinkers like "The Color of Pomegranates" and "Mondo cane". Check back tomorrow for my review of "The Hustler" and the rest of the week to catch reviews for "Hud", "Hombre" and the grand finale - "Cool Hand Luke".
