BLU-RAY RELEASE OF THE WEEK

I haven't seen The Roommate yet, so if there's any nudity, or if Minka Kelly and Leighton Meester make out at all, it would probably get my vote. As it is, this week's choice is The Hustler.

Paul Newman plays "Fast Eddie" Felson, a cocky pool player who goes cross country to challenge "Minnesota Fats" (Jackie Gleason), known as the most unhealthy best player in the country. There's a ton of booze, a prostitute, some broken thumbs and a fair share of trick shots and gambling. Newman is at his brooding best here, but not his culinary one. That came in 1982 with his line of Newman's Own products.
