DVD Reviews of Hud
DVD Review: Stark, Brutal, Concise...One of the all-time greats
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the all time greats in my opinion. Minimalistic, brutal, disturbing...this describes not only the story line---which revolves around a young boy's decision on whether or not to follow/admire his grandfather, who represents ideals such as honesty, hard work, etc, or Hud, who represents dishonesty, searching for the quick fix to any problem, disloyalty, etc---but also the direction and soundtrack.
If you liked Hud, try the recent film, Shotgun Stories---good stuff as well.

DVD Review: The Classic Anti-Western; Paul Newman in a great performance
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the great Westerns of all time, and can best be understood as being the classic "anti-Western." The protagonist (Hud, played by the immortal Paul Newman) is neither good nor kind. To the contrary, he is a scoundrel with a troubled, guilt-ridden past who knows how to raise hell and does. In an unforgettable performance, Paul Newman portrays the despicable Hud Bannon. As a counter-point, his father (Melvyn Douglas) denies Hud his love and respect out of disgust and self-righteousness, in a classic father-son conflict. Patricia O'Neil is magnificent as the tired, but still desirable housekeeper who tries to hold the family together.
This powerful film is punctuated with Western Americana. The first scenes introduce the viewer to "Hud" in a brilliant fashion. When Hud's nephew Lonnie (who is as clean-cut as Hud is despicable) goes looking for Hud by searching out the bars, he sees wreckage everywhere, and asks a barkeep "what happened last night?" The answer: "I had Hud in here last night is what I had...!" This, of course, explains everything.
This is a human drama that truly shows off Paul Newman's acting range, and this is perhaps Newman's greatest role. Hud is unforgettable. RJB.
DVD Review: Old School Newman
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great old movie of a real good book. West Texas cattle ranching and the hardscrabble lifestyle it produces is the stage and the theme of this B and W. Several classic scenes of the old man who believes in honor dispensing wisdom to the impressionable young buck make this a very rewatchable investment. Great acting, great story, wonderful late 50's vehicles and plenty of cattle, dust and sweat.DVD Review: Doesn't Get Much Better
Summary: 5 Stars
Films don't get much better than this. Director Martin Ritt is a superb story teller. Paul Newman, Melvyn Douglas, Patricia Neal and Brandon de Wilde, whew, what a cast, great performances. This is a perfect example of why some films should still be shot in black and white. Would not have been as powerful a film in color.
If you have never seen HUD watch it!
DVD Review: The classic HUD
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my husband's favorite classic movies, I bought it as a surprise for him, he loves it!
Description of Hud
Newman plays a man at odds with his father, tradition and himself. His father is an old-line cattle rancher and Newman is the son whose only interests are fighting, drinking, hot-rodding and womanizing.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: NR
Release Date: 2-DEC-2003
Media Type: DVD
Based on a Larry McMurtry novel, this Martin Ritt film was a testament to the sex appeal of the young Paul Newman. Playing the title character--a total rotter who, by the end of the film, has double-crossed or screwed over everyone he knows, including his hard-working father and brother--Newman turns him into an intriguing antihero. Things are tough on the ranch and Hud's dad (Melvyn Douglas) needs help, but Hud is too busy looking out for number one, even as things fall apart. And guess who's going to land on his feet? Beautiful black-and-white cinematography by James Wong Howe won an Oscar, as did performances by Douglas and Patricia Neal. --Marshall Fine
