Movie Reviews of Blaze
Movie Review: "They're right, I'm GUILTY!!"
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really fun movie, full of memorable lines [like the one above], great production design and cool location photography. Newman's performance is wonderful, and Miss Davidovich is the stuff that dreams are made of, especially if you're a guy who likes buxom redheads ["If I could walk like that," says Newman/Uncle Earl, "I'd walk everywhere I went"]. Several scenes are filmed at the LA state capitol building--one in the very corridor [or so it appears to me] that Earl's brother Huey was assassinated. Historical accuracy is lacking, and some of the things attributed to Earl were actually Huey's doing, but the flavor is there. If you like this movie, and I think you will, I recommend that you pick up a copy of "The Earl of Louisiana" by A. J. Liebling.Movie Review: Politics, Scandalous, & Sexy!
Summary: 5 Stars
Politics, scandalous affair, and sexy-what more could you want??! Seriously, I enjoyed this film alot. I did not judge this as a documentary or biography. It is noted in the credits that this is "based on Miss Starrs memoirs". This is a story of a poor West Virginia gal who becomes the glamorous burlesque stripper Blaze Starr and her relationship with Governor Earl Long. Lolita Davidovich does a great job as Blaze and she is very sexy! Paul Newman is awesome as Governor Earl Long. Blaze may be naive to the ways of the world but learns to look out for herself. Gov. Long is a wheeler dealer who is a smart politician and outsmarts his opponents. I thought this film was very good and enjoyed it immensely. Entertaining and well done!Movie Review: Wonderfully Fun Film
Summary: 5 Stars
It is rare that I purchase dvds anymore but this is one I had to own. It is a hidden gem for any Paul Newman fan. He does a great job at portraying an old southern Govenor in the twighlight of his years. If you are political junkie as I am you will also love the glimpse at southern politics of a time gone by.
Now, I cannot put down an honest review without mentioning the co-star. The first time I saw this film Ms. Davidovitch simply took my breath away, she plays a beautiful sensual lady to perfection and she and Newman make an interesting and believable pair in this movie.
If you have not seen this film treat yourself to it. It is a delight.
Movie Review: Blaze
Summary: 5 Stars
Paul Newman made his best movie as an old man. He plays Governor Earl Long of Louisiana, who had a scandalous affair with stripper Blaze Starr. I remember this being in the news. Lolita Davidovich is Blaze. She makes her way from West Virginia to New Orleans to Baton Rouge. Earl is a liberal, a Democrat who supports Civil Rights. This is comedy, and there are funny scenes. Earl shoots his lawn mower and has sex with his boots on. Robert Wuhl's character is interesting but has a small part. Blaze exits through a bathroom window to leave him, taking her mother's advice not to trust any man who tells her to trust him.
Movie Review: "Blaze" is Outstanding!
Summary: 5 Stars
A wonderful performance by Paul Newman (as always!). The movie actually sweeps a person along so that one feels as if they are living in the era. A Must See!
