The Hustler DVD movie review

DVD movie review of 'The Hustler', starring Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason. Fast Eddie Felson (Paul Newman) is a small-time pool hustler with a lot of talent but a self-destructive attitude. His bravado causes him to challenge the legendary Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason) to a high-stakes match, but he loses in a heartbreaking marathon. Now broke and without his long-time manager, Felson faces an uphill battle to regain his confidence and his game. It isn't until he hits rock bottom that he agrees to join up with ruthless and cutthroat manager Bert Gordon. Gordon agrees to take him on the road to learn the ropes. But Felson soon realizes that making it to the top could cost him his soul, and perhaps his girlfriend. Will he decide that this is too steep a price to pay in time to save himself?

The Sting II

DVD movie review of 'The Sting II' starring Jackie Geason, Mac Davis, Terri Garr, Karl Malden and Oliver Reed -- actually a good movie, if you can ignore the fact that it's supposed to be a sequel to 'The Sting' - taken on it's own, it's quite enjoyable.

The Very Best of the Honeymooners

DVD review of 'The Very Best of The Honeymooners' - technically, less about the actual Honeymooner episodes as it is bloopers, clips, and information on the performers themselves - although it does include several bits, including the classic 'Letter to the Boss' and a bonus program 'The Wit and Wisdom of Ed Norton'
