Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Additional Footage; Soundtrack English; English Subtitles; Dolby Digital 5.1 Re; Behind The Scenes A retired private investigator agrees to help his movie star friends and becomes embroiled in a dangerous and complex murder mystery. As in his 1977 film THE LATE SHOW, Robert Benton focuses on a private detective who's playing the back nine. With the passing of a quarter century, however, the director's tone had grown more somber. Paul Newman stars as the detective, Harry Ross, living in semiretirement in Santa Monica on the estate owned by his movie-star friends, Jack (Gene Hackman) and Catherine Ames (Susan Sarandon). When Harry delivers a package as a favor to Jack, he finds fellow private dick Lester Ivar (M. Emmett Walsh) dying from a bullet wound. Harry checks out Ivar's apartment, where he uncovers 20-year-old clippings relating to the disappearance of Catherine's first husband. As he tries to get to the bottom of the case, he enlists the help of a former lover, LAPD lt. Verna Hollander (Stockard Channing), and receives unsolicited assistance from feckless chauffeur Reuben Escobar (Giancarlo Esposito). Ex-cop and former studio security chief Raymond Hope (James Garner) also seems to know a thing or two about the case. Strong ensemble acting and Benton's characteristically nuanced and intelligent writing highlight this sinuous, richly textured murder mystery. Twilight Reviews: "...[A] mesmerizing mood piece..."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "...[The filmmakers capture] haunting moods, not to mention the near unbearably beautiful shades of chartreuse green and almost poison red that infiltrate the evening sky in Southern California..."
-- Robin Dougherty, Sight and Sound "...Vivid performances, especially the one by the now raspy-voiced Newman, eloquently deliberate..."
-- David Everitt, Entertainment Weekly "...Mr. Newman still has the wisecracking vigor and panache that have always shaped his screen roles. He inhabits his shrewd, world-weary character with the ease that only lifelong movie stardom can bring..."
-- Janet Maslin, New York Times "...[A] tart-tongued murder mystery..."
-- Christine Spines, Premiere "...No one on screen has aged better than Newman....His eyes remain flinty and hypnotic and his ability to be a hero even in repose remains unimpaired..."

Twilight Movie Review Average Rating: (4.6 out of 5 stars)   True crime fighting
Paul Newman still can move with the best of them. Has the PI who is used to cover then uncover the crime before it can kill him. Reese Witherspoons part is short but, her assits are revealed.

 Classic Who-dun-it!
Should've been made in the 40's! This is a classic detective mystery with great color and an excellent cast. Newman is terrific as the aging dick with drinking his favorite hobby!

Too Tame This Twilight
Sorry,No special features on this dvd.
Great story. Garner in a different role. Paul is great as a detective.
Susan said in an interview ," I have no problem with nudity but it was too cold that day." So they used a stand in near the pool. Boring. She could have added alot to this part with her sexuality but chose to give it a lack-luster performance. Witherspoon shows you how she got into the movies.
She does play a brat perfectly.
Requardless this movie is a must have.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No The good and the bad...
Bottom line, the bad news is that this film is a boring 1hr 30 min snoozefest, a tame PG-13 USA network-esque pseudo-thriller-mystery with an R rating. The good news is that well, it has an R rating because the then 20 yr old relative unknown Reese Witherspoon goes topless no less than 3 times in a brief 2 minute stretch at the very start of the film. If you are into Reese, then it's a five star film, otherwise, don't waste your time.

A saturnine vision of the universe and an interest in the female form bordering on adoration have been two constants of Dennis Hopper's directorial work. Both are on display in this neo-noir, starring Don Johnson as cagey drifter Harry Madox, who picks up a job from used car lot owner George Harshaw (Jerry Hardin), soon after arriving in a small Texas town. Attracting women is not one of Harry's problems, and he's soon involved with Harshaw's innocent young bookkeeper, Gloria Harper (Jennifer Connelly), and his tough, sexy wife, Dolly (Virginia Madsen). An ambitious sort, Harry is also planning to rob the local bank. But things begin to get strange when he learns that Gloria is being extorted by nasty backwoodsman Frank Sutton (William Sadler), who also seems to be linked to Dolly. While not quite camp, the film is a triumph of style over substance, as the characters obey the highly improbable laws of the noir universe as religiously as any Kabuki performer does theirs. Working with longtime cinematographer Ueli Steiger, Hopper again reveals a fastidious eye, and the lavish photography of the women evokes an era when they were Hollywood's cynosure.
Feature film DVD starring Don Johnson and Virginia Madsen.

Director Louis Malle tackled a social taboo and made 12-year-old Brooke Shields a star with this controversial examination of child prostitution in turn-of-the-century New Orleans. Violet (Shields) is the daughter of a prostitute (Susan Sarandon) who works at one of the brothels in New Orleans' legendary red-light district, Storyville. One day photographer Ernest Bellocq (Keith Carradine) arrives at the brothel to take photos of the prostitutes and becomes fascinated with Violet, who is fast approaching her 12th birthday and a subsequent initiation into prostitution. When her mother moves to St. Louis in search of marriage and respectability, Violet determines to marry the much older Bellocq. Malle infuses the potentially lurid subject matter with a lyrical beauty that brings humanity to his characters and story, with the assistance of a sensitive script by Polly Platt and superb cinematography by Sven Nykvist.

The acclaimed New Zealand director Jane Campion (THE PIANO) turns her unusual artistic eye toward the urban erotic thriller genre. Based on the novel by Susanna Moore, IN THE CUT tells the story of Frannie (Meg Ryan) an English teacher living in Manhattan's East Village who finds herself mixed up in a homicide investigation after a severed head turns up in her garden. Jennifer Jason Leigh is her sexually unhinged half-sister and Mark Ruffalo plays a homicide detective who falls into bed with Frannie after she's attacked on the Lower East Side. Suspects include her stalker ex-lover (Kevin Bacon) and a troubled student (Sharrieff Pugh) who's obsessed with serial killer John Wayne Gacy. As the body count rises however, Frannie realizes that the prime suspect just may be the very cop in her bed.
If this all sounds like a by-the-numbers sex crime thriller don't worry; Campion twists the genre towards her own ends, adding multi-layered focus, deeply saturated colors, a dream-like mood and copious amounts of feminist allegorical symbolism. Meg Ryan fans should be shocked by her performance here (replete with several nude scenes), which is a major departure from her usual cute characterizations. Nicole Kidman, who starred in Campion's PORTRAIT OF A LADY served as producer. Fans of that film, and Campion's work in general, should enjoy the perverse psychosexual theatrics on display in this grim urban fairy tale.
A New York professor has a dangerous affair with a police detective investigating a murder in her neighborhood. Stars Meg Ryan, Mark Ruffalo and Jennifer Jason Leigh. DVD special features include director's commentary, slang dictionary featurette, making of featurette, bonus trailers. Uncut version with footage too sexy for theaters.
