12 Angry Men

12-angry-men.jpg
Great film. Highly recommended. Reminded me of my jury experience last year, though our discussion was much more civil and our jury was a bit more diverse. But the movie did a great job of pointing out what an amazing process the whole thing is. I loved that we learned so much about each man, and I didn’t realize until the end what we didn’t learn about them. Made the movie even better. It was astounding how many conclusions we could draw about 12 different characters in just 96 minutes. Fonda was terrific, even though his character at times was almost a little too idealistic to believe at times. I loved how the camera got tighter and tighter as the film progressed, increasing the tension and sense of claustrophobia that one feels after a full day in the jury room. Lee J. Cobb’s performance as the angry and tortured Juror #3 was terrific, making him a source of both enmity and pity. Interesting fact: Jack Klugman is the only juror who is still alive. The director of the film, Sidney Lumet, is still alive as well (And it’s pronounced Luh-met, not Lue-may.) I give this one a B+. See this movie if you haven’t already. Barring a last minute comeback, looks like Princess Bride will be next.

Quizzo on Samantha Brown’s Great Weekends This Weekend

Hey kids, you might remember when Samantha Brown came to Black Sheep and got booed when she tried to ask questions. Will it be a black eye for the city, or will it be kind of funny, or will they try to pretend like it never happened? And how will they make it seem like our Wednesday night quizzo is taking place on a weekend night? We’ll find out tomorrow night. Show comes on at 10 p.m. on the Travel Channel. For more info, go to her website.

Quizzo News and Notes

Had a good time at the ballgame, then headed over to Collingswood to grab a grilled cheese at the Pop Shop, home of Trivia Art’s infamous “Explosion of taste in my mouth” line. Had a real good grilled cheese. As for quizzo, we got a brand new one kicking off tonight at the Ugly American (Front and Federal.) at 7:30 p.m. Gonna be interesting to see how it turns out. All draft beers will be $1 off during quizzo, and they’ve got a great selection. Then it’s onto the Bards at 10 p.m. Been a little quieter there lately now that Penn and Temple are done, so it’s gonna be easier to find a table tonight than it was a few months ago. Hope to see ya tonight!
