with a rocker, a film critic and a talk-show host. They're slain celebrities named in a mysterious betting pool. And Harry just joined the list. Clint Eastwood straps on his holster again for the fifth and final Callahan caper. This time Harry's new partner is a karate wiz. The Mafia goons sworn to snuff Harry now scramble to protect him. And in the nuttiest City by the Bay vehicular chase since Bullitt, Harry puts pedal to the metal to outrace a bomb-carrying, radio-controlled toy car. It's a great showcase for two future stars: Jim Carrey is marvelous as an ill-fated heavy-metal musician and Liam Neeson hits the mark as a power-tripping director. For hard-hitting action, dive into this cool pool.

2. Assumes a basic knowledge of the Big Brother TV show and format.
3. Parts of Dead Set are pretty gruesome, so if you?re of a nervous disposition you may not even want to read the rest of this review, never mind follow any of the links at the end.
Not Ideal Boyfriend Material
How?s this for a nightmare scenario? You?re a lowly female member of the production team on Big Brother. No no, that?s not it. There?s more. Not long ago you were engaged in a passionate clinch with Danny, your new almost-boyfriend, for whom you?re in the process of trading in your long-standing but boring current model.

Advantages: something new Disadvantages: can be seen only on the film festivals
"Swimming Pool", film seen first time at Cannes Film Festival 2003, sees France and Europe on most decadent, daring and inventive way. Francois Ozon writer and film director strikes again with this time British actress, Charlotte Rampling. Sarah Morton (Rampling) is a famous British mystery author. Tired of London, seeking inspiration for her new novel, she accepts an offer from her publisher John Bosload (Charles Dance) to stay at his home in middle of nowhere in France. It is early off-season, so Sarah hopes to find the beautiful country inspiring – until late one night, when John’s wild French daughter Julie (Sagnier) unexpectedly arrives. Sarah is at first, more than English-alike reserve, finding Julie reckless and sexually charged lifestyle repulsive. Their interactions set off an increasingly unsettling series ...

DVD Description
A film crew draw up a list of celebrities and place bets on who they think will die first. When Harry Callahan is added to the list, he becomes the unwitting target of a serial killer who has been picking off celebrities one by one. Thoughtful screenplay laced with macabre fun.
Fifth and final film in the DIRTY HARRY series is an enjoyable romp, not least for its famed chase sequence through the streets of San Francisco in which Callahan is pursued by a bomb-carrying radio-controlled car. Also features a brief, early performance by Jim Carrey as an ailing rock star.
