Director's Chair #9: Day Three


LAMBs in the Director's Chair
Event #9 starring Sidney Lumet
July 28th to 30th of 2010

The time has arrived for the last day of Director’s Chair #9 and we have a few movie reviews that I have promised to everyone yesterday. There are three films that have been reviewed for today, which are Serpico (1973), The Wiz (1978), and Dog Day Afternoon (1975). Each one of these three films has garnered plenty of praise and criticism in their own respective rights. If you have not seen any of them, I would recommend them to you. On an editorial side note, I would like to ask a question to those of you who have seen The Wiz. Am I the only who had seen it as a kid and was scared out of their wits by Mabel King’s performance as Evillene, the bad witch? Without wasting too much more of your time blabbering incessantly with the introductions I present to you the first couple of reviews for the film Serpico which stars Al Pacino in the leading role.
