Chillopedia | Lawyers often get the short end of the stick in film, television and books. Attorneys are basically seen as little more than walking punchlines by most filmmakers, even though the expertise of these individuals is the only thing that allows Hollywood to stay afloat in the stormy waters of intellectual property.
MovieFone - Fifty years ago, 10-year-old Mary Badham tried out for a role in a little movie filming near her hometown of Birmingham, Ala.: "To Kill a Mockingbird." The beloved adaptation of Harper Lee's seminal novel earned Badham an Oscar nomination, making her, at the time, the youngest actress to ever receive one. (In 1973, Tatum O'Neal became the youngest for "Paper Moon.") Not a bad for a young girl who had never even seen a movie before making "Mockingbird."
CinemaBlend says
Next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the film adaptation of Harper Lee’s classic, Pulitzer Prize winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird. Universal Studios Home Entertainment will mark the occasion by releasing a commemorative Limited Edition Collector’s Series Blu-ray Combo Pack, and DVD, which hits the streets at the end of January.
ZOMG!!!
This is fantastic news. Easily the very best book I was forced to read in High school along with Cather in the Rye. This is a MUST BUY for my collection.
Gregory Peck was simply amazing in this movie.
I have to disagree Crazay This book was dreadful,The movie was awful and Catcher in the Rye was pointless drivel. But I hold these 2 book in higher regard than Grapes of Wrath. My hate for that book knows no bounds.
We were never required to read Grapes of Wrath but Wuthering Heights....Shoot me if I ever mention that I'd watch a movie based on that book.
I never had to read Wuthering Heights.That book sound dreadful from the description. All in all I'm glad the Fans of To Kill A Mockingbird get a BR version.
Yes, by far this is one of the best ever. I also loved Grapes of Wrath and Cather in the Rye.
Mickey Haller (Matthew McConaughey – How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days) is a defence attorney that works out of the back of his Lincoln car. Mainly representing low-life clients and dead-beats, Mickey just about breaks even. Then one day he thinks he has caught the career-break of a lifetime. He's hired to defend a rich playboy named Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillippe – Cruel Intentions) who is accused of attempting to murder a young woman. But as Mickey investigates his client further, he soon discovers that all is not what it seems.
You know I got this movie when it came out but what I usually do when I buy a movie I haven't seen is loan it to a friend of mine first. They are both retired and she's not able to get out much so they borrow all my movies. They get to see them before I do but I know I have all the time I need once I get them back. I see this one as soon as I get it which should be anytime now.
