	Review: Meet Joe Black (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Meet Joe Black was loosely suggested by the 1934 movie, Death Takes a Holiday, which, in turn, was based on a '20s stage play of the same name.
		Disappointingly, that potentially-fascinating aspect of the situation is ignored by Meet Joe Black, which wastes the bulk of its three hours on a passionless romance and an absurd corporate takeover scheme.
		The centerpiece of Meet Joe Black is the romance between Joe and Susan, but it's not the kind of motion picture love affair that causes the spirit to soar.

	Meet Joe Black
		Joe turns to the towels, but one hand is occupied with the spoonful of peanut butter, he shifts it to the other hand, can't manage the huge Turkish towel one-handed, now implants the spoon in his mouth, lifts the towel with both hands and presents it to Susan.
		Joe has found himself in an unexplored land of feeling and passion, he loves what is happening and yet at the same time, is terrified by it.
		Joe seems to drift away now, they lie together as one but for the first time, she feels separate from him, sensing him gone to some distant, distant land.

	RollingStone.com: Meet Joe Black Review
		Pitt's Joe Black is really the Grim Reaper in temporary possession of the body of a blond Adonis; he wants to learn what the big deal is about being alive.
		In Meet Joe Black, only Bill faces Death head-on, since the other major characters don't know who Joe is. The film has been vaunted as a romance, much like the 1934 Fredric March film Death Takes a Holiday, which inspired this update.
		Joe is a literary conceit as hard to flesh out as the ghost child in Beloved.

	MEET JOE BLACK
		Worried that Joe may have other plans for her, William must deal with that while also contending with Drew's plans to undermine him and his company and, of course, his own pending trip to the great hereafter.
		Although a sick woman in a hospital immediately recognizes Joe for whom he really is, and begs him to ease her pain, the film misses its opportunity to play off this notion.
		The initial encounter between Susan and Joe (before he's Death warmed over) is brimming with romantic sparks, and despite that man's death and Joe Black's subsequent aloofness, the chemistry slowly but surely rebuilds between the two.

		As it is, the film trudges along at the velocity of a glacier, basking in the icy blue eyes of Brad Pitt, the ethereal lovelines of Claire Forlani (as Parrish' daughter) and some magnificent pauses from Sir Anthony Hopkins.
		Meet Joe Black is a 21-tracker where the brief silences between each of the misty-eyed tunes are as important as the piano-tickling and the string-picking.
		"Meet Joe Black" is not bad, it's superbly acted by the three leads, while the relationship between Anthony Hopkins (struggling to deal with the knowledge of his death) and Claire Forlani (who gradually begins to suspect the stranger's motive), is particularly well handled.

	Shoeless Joe Jackson's Virtual Hall of Fame (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This site is devoted to the memory of Shoeless Joe Jackson and the movement to persuade Major League Baseball to remove Joe Jackson from their ineligible list, thereby making him eligible for election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
		That conclusion is, Joe played his best in the World Series of 1919, he fielded to win, he batted to win, he ran the bases to win.
		We admit, Joe did have guilty knowledge of the fix, but we feel his punishment in perpetuity is unjust for this "supposed" crime.

		After beginning his career in the Negro Leagues, Black won Rookie of the Year honors as a 28-year-old reliever for the 1952 Dodgers.

		Meet Joe Black seemed almost fated to fail when it was released in 1998, but this romantic fantasy--a remake of 1934's Death Takes a Holiday--deserves a chance at life after box-office death.
		Under the assumed identity of "Joe Black", he samples all the pleasures that corporeal life has to offer--power, romance, sex and such enticing pleasures as peanut butter by the spoonful.
		His daughter falls for the young man innocent of the fact that Joe is Death, visiting Earth to take the life of her father...

	Meet Joe Black: Cinephiles Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In his film, Meet Joe Black, Director and Producer Martin Brest offers a counterpart to the legend of the tragic downfall of Doctor Faustus by inverting the roles of its characters.
		Ultimately, Joe meets Susan; an encounter which tempts him to deviate from his mission and which, ironically, proves to be a much higher lesson than he had bargained for.
		Meet Joe Black is a film which dwells in its own exuberance, the rare luxury of its sets (designed by Academy Award nominee Dante Ferreti) and the irresistible charm of its inhabitants, all which portray a degree of elegance that seduces the viewer into a simply fantastic world.

	'Meet Joe Black' (PG-13)
		"Meet Joe Black," with Brad Pitt, is a near-death experience: Time seems to stop as we stiffen in our seats and the actors all whisper as if they're at a wake.
		Nor is Pitt as Joe Black as well cast as Fredric March, who played Death with Dracula-like flair.
		Parrish, the story's true focus, agrees to the arrangement, and from that moment, Joe Black is on him like lichen on a tombstone.

	Black, Joe - Negro League Baseball Player
		By the time Joe Black made it to the big leagues in 1952, he already had played eight years in the Negro Leagues, twice pitching the Baltimore Elite Giants to championships.
		And even though Black also starred in the Major Leagues, earning the 1952 NL Rookie of the Year award, it was his off-field success that distinguished him.
		Black always kept a close relationship with baseball, influencing players to plan for their post-competitive careers and lobbying for pension benefits for Negro League players.

		I consider "Meet Joe Black" along with Spielberg's "Artificial Intelligence" to be among the most misunderstood films of recent times.
		But "Meet Joe Black" suffered an even worse fate when it was released, because it never enjoyed the box office success that "A.I." did.
		In any event, "Meet Joe Black" is one gem of a movie, half fantasy and half drama, that has an important message about the lives we have, what we do with our time here on earth, and how we cope with loss and death.

	SPLICEDwire: "Meet Joe Black" review
		One of the first scenes in "Meet Joe Black" is so perfectly simple and romantic that I relaxed into my theater seat smiling because I just knew I was in for a sweet and delicious chick flick.
		"Meet Joe Black" is supposed to be a supernatural romance, the story of Death discovering life through falling in love.
		We're supposed to hate Drew because he comes between Susan and Joe, but up until he starts working on a take-over bid behind the boss' back, he's the only character in the movie who seems to have his head screwed on straight.

		Anthony Hopkins awakens at the beginning of "Meet Joe Black" to a voice simply saying "yes." The voice continues and Hopkins ultimately meets the source of the voice - no other than Death itself appearing in the movie in the physical body of Brad Pitt.
		So Hopkins is forced to have "Joe Black" (as he names him for his friends and family) at his side and in his house for the last days of his life.
		An obvious sermon idea is that all of us have a "Joe Black" living with us everyday whether we admit it or not because we all are going to die.

		Meet Joe Black marches along at a slower pace than a procession of professional mourners following a hearse.
		Pitt's an interesting choice for Joe and manages to find a range of emotions, from charming to bewildered, to brazen and demanding, to cold and sentimental, that almost give Meet Joe Black enough star power to overcome its indolence.
		It's almost a breeze for him and while he is charming, the character lacks the depth that might have injected an interesting edge to Meet Joe Black.
