On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 49% of 202 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.6/10.

Geoffrey Macnab of The Independent wrote, "For all its contrivances and occasional lapses into On Golden Pond-style mawkishness, this is a richly crafted yarn that boasts barnstorming, if very showy performances from Duvall and Downey Jr."[26] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave a mixed to positive review, writing, "There are plenty of emotional fireworks in this big, soupy but entertaining picture, which is obvious Oscar bait."[27] Entertainment Weekly critic Chris Nashawaty gave the film a "B" rating, and stated, "I don't expect The Judge to usher in a new era of legal thrillers, but I'm happy to see Downey leave the Marvel universe and Baker Street behind."[28]

While the new documentary film Indians, Outlaws, Marshals and the Hangin' Judge is a story set in the late 19th Century, it covers numerous topics that still resonate today, including racial bias, gun violence, Indian affairs and accusations of police brutality.

Next month, on Thursday, Sept. 10, the U of A-produced film will premiere live from the Fort Smith Bakery District as well as stream live from the film's Facebook page for that night only. It will also later be available for purchase through the University of Arkansas Press.

A sneak peek of the film gives a behind the scenes look at the "making of" and features two songs by National Park Radio, "Blood" and "Old Forests," which were taped at the Buffalo National River for the documentary.

The film, from the producers of The Buffalo Flows and The First Boys of Spring, explores the myth, legend and reality behind federal judge Isaac C. Parker, known as the "hangin' judge," who for 21 years after the American Civil War hanged 79 men on gallows that were nicknamed the "government suspender" in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

"It's the colorful story of Indian removal, crime, capital punishment and an infamous federal judge who sentenced scores of felons to 'hang by the neck until you are dead,'" said Larry Foley, the film's director and producer, and chair of the School of Journalism and Strategic Media.

Additionally, emeritus professor Dale Carpenter is the film's editor, emeritus professor James Greeson composed the film's original score, journalism's Hayot Tuychiev is its director of photography, and history's Patrick Williams served as one of the film's humanities scholars.

Journalism alumnus T.J. Holmes introduces the film, actor Jennica Schwartzman portrays Ada Patterson and M.F.A. theatre alumnus Bill Rogers portrays Judge Parker. Many interviews throughout the film also feature experts from the U of A, including interim Provost Charles Robinson, law's Stacy Leeds, communications' Frank Scheide and history's Elliott West.

But the central figure of the film is Parker, the former U.S. congressman from Missouri, commissioned by President Ulysses S. Grant as the all-powerful judge over the Western District of Arkansas, with jurisdiction over Indian Territory.

The film Indians, Outlaws, Marshals and the Hangin' Judge is told in first person using the actual words written by reporter Patterson in September 1896, and the real-life story is set in and around Fort Smith around the same time and place as the fictional Western novel and film, True Grit.

Patterson narrates the film, much as Mattie Ross told the story in the Charles Portis classic. Patterson's interview, and her colorful description of the gallows and jail, serve as the foundation for the film.

"But over time, legends have grown into myth, and much of the truth has been spun into fable," Foley said. "This film will tell real stories, shedding new light on what really happened in those turbulent days, while 'busting' myths of some of the farfetched tales that have appeared as fact in books and movies since the time of Parker's passing."

I know, I know, not everyone can like weird stuff like Jay. But who is guilty of this? I am first to admit of this. I thought of this question because for the last several weeks as I login to my letterboxd account, I follow Dan Murrell of Screen Junkies, and his daily film diary of what he watches, besides new movies he watches for review purposes, is completely basic and generic. (For October/Halloween season its been Evil Dead 2, Childs Play, Creepshow, Krampus, and Alien for for example so far).

In January 2018, I had the privilege of serving as a festival judge. Out respect for the process, I will not mention the festival or the individual films in this post. Instead, I wish to share some observations on the overall procedures.

While international selections understand that closed captions are necessary due to language comprehension issues, I do wish more domestic filmmakers would add titles to their own films. Though I do understand why some filmmakers refuse them due to aesthetics and cost issues, I see neither as valid excuses for excluding captions. Captions help with for more than just aiding those with hearing impairments. They do take time to complete, but they include more people in viewing your film. Costs vary, but Movie Captioner starts at $130 for a single license. Plenty of paid services also are available.

My previous experiences with festivals included volunteering at the information desk and serving as an audience jury member. Serving as a festival judge offered another layer of insights, ranging from artistic to technical, into the process.

While in London, he was also employed as a film critic and reviewer at Time Out as well as The Monthly Film Bulletin, a publication of the British Film Institute.

While Downey was undoubtedly the primary box office draw, his performance was passionate but far from award winning. Co-star Duvall does a fantastic job at subtly chipping away piece by piece of his enduring exterior to reveal a broken and vulnerable human being below. Some great moments in the movie come when Downey and Duvall play off each other. They listen and react to each other and take lines and moments to places that are surprising but well played. While the supporting cast is full of strong actors their characters are rarely explored deeply and their story lines are left underdeveloped. They exist in the story line to teach the audience about Hank and his rocky past. By the end, The Judge is a very capable film and a great platform for Duvall to shine but it falls a little short from being memorable.

I recently purchased an Olympus OM-1 film camera. Upon receiving the camera, I realized the battery for the light meter was dead. I'm a (very) amateur photographer so, naturally, this is a problem for me. However, I had an idea. (For context, I've been shooting on ISO 200 film).

Even in theory there are differences in the way digital sensors and films record light that makes ISO values only approximate. But these differences are usually fairly subtle and theoretically exposure should be more or less equal if you use the same ISO, aperture, and shutter time. For more about this, please see: Why are these film photos brighter than digital photos taken at the same time with the same settings?

ISO: Since digital sensors have a linear response to varying brightness levels of light and film has a more logarithmic response, comparing an ISO value for a particular digital sensor and an ISO value of a particular film is only approximate. This value is usually closest in the mid-tones but will vary more in the highlights and shadows. 2351a5e196
