Intolerable Cruelty (Widescreen Edition)

INTOLERABLE CRUELTY – DVD Movie
A sleek George Clooney and a seductive Catherine Zeta-Jones square off magnificently in the divorce comedy Intolerable Cruelty. The plot is simple: Lawyer supreme Miles Massey (Clooney, Out of Sight, Ocean’s Eleven) skillfully outmaneuvers gold-digger Marylin Rexroth (Zeta-Jones, Chicago, Traffic) when she divorces her wealthy husband–and she sets out to get revenge. But this movie comes from the creative minds of the Coen Brothers (Fargo, Raising Arizona, O Brother Where Art Thou?), and so Intolerable Cruelty includes a Scottish wedding chapel in Vegas, an asthmatic hit man, fluffy-dog-stroking European nobility, and a legendarily unbreakable pre-nuptial agreement. Still, it’s pretty restrained for the Coens; smooth and consistent, it never stumbles as disappointingly as their movies can, but also never quite hits the operatic pitch of their best work. It’s still damn funny, though, with top-notch performances from the leads as well as Geoffrey Rush, Cedric the Entertainer, and Billy Bob Thornton. –Bret Fetzer

7 Helpful Things to Look for in an SSI Lawyer
Supplemental security income (SSI) and social security disability insurance are two different benefit programs and are provided to individuals who qualify as disabled. With the guidance of SSI lawyers, you can obtain approval for SSI benefits. SSI is awarded irrespective of work history. Several individuals who apply for SSI benefits find the process extremely complicated and the bureaucratic procedure slows down the claim. Disability benefits are not offered by just applying. An administrative law judge will hear the case and determine if you are disabled or not and if you are qualify for disability benefits. Using an SSI Lawyer will greatly increase your ability to show the judge that you should qualify.
Benefits offered by SSI lawyers
Claimants who apply for disability benefits are usually victims of debilitating illness. It is the time when your disability claim has to be expedited for the benefit of you and your loved ones. To help you through the process, SSI lawyers offer their years of experience and knowledge of the judicial system. The task of appealing for a rejected disability claim is time consuming and complex. There are several benefits that your specialized attorney can offer to you.
(1) Claimants who apply or appeal a disability claim by themselves often spend a lot of time and money in travel, documentation and overall preparation. In their current condition, sparing so much time and effort could be very difficult. On the contrary when you have an attorney to represent you, this complex preparation process can be minimized substantially. You are only expected to authorize your attorney to access your social security file and medical records. He can accompany you for meetings and talk to witnesses. However, have an extensive face to face initial consultation before you choose your attorney.
(2) The appeals process is overwhelming and confusing. But when you do not have an attorney to represent you, you only need to focus on the healing process and take your mind off from paperwork or legal terms.
(3) You Need to Plan for the Appeal Process. SSI attorneys understand the deadlines and time frames for appealing a disability claim. When you claim has been denied, contact your attorney within sixty days to begin an appeal.
(4) SSI lawyers can establish facts and co-ordinate with employers, medical providers and other professionals for the purpose of validating and proving your disability claim to an insurance company or the social security administration.
(5) The appeals process is done at several stages when one level does not go through successfully. Reconsideration is the first step and when your request is denied here, it moves to hearing in the court. Your attorney is familiar and comfortable with all these settings and hence can prepare your case appropriately.
(6) Besides handling the preparation process, your attorney will educate you on what is expected of you during every stage. You will have open access to legal advice, learn about uncommon laws, and have expert legal experience backing you up.
(7) More importantly, your right to competent and diligent representation is honored.
Confidentially is maintained and the services of SSI lawyers do not just benefit you but also your spouse and other family members at a time when you need to focus on more important aspects of your health.
