The Color of Money [Blu-ray]

Scorsese & billiards... nice

Best movie ever

A wonderful movie looks great on Blu-ray!

The Color of Money is a good film to watch. Entertaining. Tom Cruise's characterization as Vincent Lauria is very good. Paul Newman as Fast Eddie seems very laid back compared to the original movie "The Hustler" (1961). Perhaps due to age. Still, this film ranks high being Newman and Cruise are a joy to watch.

I have owned THE HUSTLER for a long time. I saw The COLOR OF MONEY several years ago, but never saw an opportunity to buy it. Finally, I saw my opportunity and took it, but when it came in, I couldn't play it, since it was from England. Well, I could either send it back or buy a DVD player that plays DVDs from all regions. I decided I needed a new DVD player. I was a little worried about it because I read a review about one that said the reviewer had to change the setting to make it play the right region. I decided that if he could do it, I could. But no problem, it worked perfectly without any effort from me. So now, I'm aFAST EDDIE owner.

The Color of Money" is a captivating film that follows the journey of a seasoned pool hustler, Fast Eddie Felson, played by the legendary Paul Newman. The movie is a sequel to the classic "The Hustler" and does not disappoint in delivering a thrilling and engaging storyline.Newman's performance is nothing short of brilliant, as he effortlessly embodies the complex character of Fast Eddie, who is torn between his desire for success and his moral compass. The chemistry between Newman and his co-star, Tom Cruise, adds another layer of depth to the film, making their interactions on screen truly captivating.The cinematography in "The Color of Money" is visually stunning, with each shot expertly crafted to draw the audience into the world of underground pool hustling. The soundtrack perfectly complements the on-screen action, further enhancing the overall viewing experience.Overall, "The Color of Money" is a must-watch for fans of classic cinema and those looking for a gripping tale of redemption and self-discovery. With its stellar performances, engaging storyline, and top-notch production values, this film is sure to leave a lasting impression on viewers.

The first time I saw this was almost 30 yrs ago, I liked it then, but I’m a different person now at 71, and a mentor in my own right. To the young, the experienced/accomplished person has an unfathomable mystique about them, but I’ve learned that there’s nothing mystical about it, it just happens over time, you accumulate knowledge and become more effective in everything you do, if you’ve lived conscientiously that is. So, watching Paul Newman play the ultra-experienced pool hustler, and he did it brilliantly, not being self-impressed, but just taking his knowledge for granted, struck an authentic cord in me. This is great entertainment and rings true at all levels for young and old alike.The other message here is for us seniors: you don’t have to let yourself quit doing what makes you feel alive. Staying young takes work, but it’s worth it; after discovering Super Foods (I eat 40 different varieties) and supplements (20 varieties), I went from barely being able to walk, to exercising/cross-training for more than 4hrs every day in my 60s, and now at 71, lift weights for 4hrs without resting every other day. I also practice Waking Power Meditation. First thing in the morning, I tune into the best spiritual experience I ever had, get that locked in, then maintain that state throughout the day.

Waste of time
