Its a dirty job but someones got to do it

Advantages: tense,exciting well acted cop thriller
Disadvantages: might be too violent for some viewers

Dirty harry[1971] is one of most successful cop films ever and also highly controvesial.When it was released it drew criticism for its violence.Directed briskly by Don siegel and set in San francisco,its a tense thriller which pitches cop "Dirty " Harry callahan against killer "Scorpio".Harry is called "Dirty" because he takes on the tough cases that all other cops stay clear of.He is a widower,has few real friends and works best alone.He is dedicated ...
...direction.The style was maintained for dirty harry but with a rougher harder edge.The film has a cat and mouse chase feel with harry racing against time to capture scorpio.Eastwood shows the edge and relentless pace that harry works at really well.The one liners that eastwood delivers have become part of movie legend.The "do you feel lucky well do ya punk" is a classic.He also shows harry more vulnerabe side how he does what he does to escape the ...

Space Junk

Advantages: Good cast
Disadvantages: Poor plot

...film. Thats right. Its a space film. Made for the big screen but looking more at home on a "made for TV" film channel like Bravo or such like. What is it about? Well, I looked forward to this film as I love space and particularly manned space flight. Due to my interest, im normally the first to spot inconsistencies in the realism of these type of films. However, I was impressed with the start of the film where 2 of our stars are taking part in ...
...of the Russian and American space agencies is in danger after a Russian "weather satellite" armed to the back teeth with Nuclear warheads is about to crash out of orbit. The guidance system on the satellite is broken and needs fixing and it appears it is a stolen design in the 1970's from the Americans! Who Designed it? Clint.... Who needs to go and fix it?

Review Of The Hulk Movie We Enjoy/Hate

Advantages: some action to enjoy! interesting start to the film
Disadvantages: a bit too long

...from Universal was that the Hulk should battle terrorists but France had disliked it. Who was in the film? Eric Bana as Dr Bruce Banner/Hulk Jennifer Connelly as Betty Ross Cara Buono as Mrs Krenzler Nick Nolte as David Banner Celia Weston as Edith Banner Sam Elliot as General Thaddeus Josh Lucas as Major Glenn Talbot What you liked/disliked about it? While I was watching the beginning of the movie to know if it would entertain me, I found ...
...really good scientist and the mutant DNA had passed onto his son Bruce. I thought a little about what the mutant DNA might do and I was curious until I saw the results which came before me. I had also enjoyed the moment when Bruce was turning into a monster because it was interesting to know what was happening to him. I can describe the moment as scary. The movie had some action throughout as well which kept me on my seat for a long time! However, ...
