Dirty Harry, a review by Tom![]() Title: Dirty Harry ![]() Year: 1971 Director: Don Siegel Rating: 18 Length: 98 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.35 Audio: English: Dolby Digital 5.1, German: Dolby Digital Mono, Spanish: Dolby Digital Mono, Commentary: Dolby Digital Stereo Subtitles: Czech, Danish, English, Finnish, German, Greek, Norwegian, Other, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish Stars: Clint Eastwood Harry Guardino Reni Santoni John Vernon Andy Robinson Plot: 'Dirty Harry' is Clint Eastwood's first outing as the infamous hardnosed Police Inspector Harry Callahan in which he must hunt down a psychopathic serial killer. The killer who calls himself 'Scorpio' demands $200,000 from the San Francisco Mayor or else he'll kill one person a day. 'Dirty Harry' is based on a real life serial killer going by the pseudonym of 'The Zodiac Killer' who was never caught. On a more trivial note the 'Dirty Harry' film appears in the David Fincher film 'Zodiac' based on the same serial killer. Awards:
Extras: Commentary Featurettes Scene Access Trailers My Thoughts: I have never seen any of the Dirty Harry movies before. Though this movie was okay, I probably wouldn't have sought out the sequels if I didn't have the boxset already. Garak was great as the psychotic killer. I had to think of Sledge Hammer (who his a parody of Harry) throughout the movie. These two are really quite similar. Even the way they dress. In the beginning I had to think of Dr. Evil from Austin Powers. In the scene where they hear about the ransom of $100.000 and are arguing that they never could get that kind of money.

My Thoughts: Felt like a Disney classic... and decided to pop this one in. I saw this movie the first time 3 years ago when I first got the DVD double feature set. I enjoyed this one quite a bit. It has some good laughs in it... though it does look a little dated. But the movie is a good 50 years old now. I really enjoyed Haley Mills in this film... I thought she did a good job playing a pair of scheming twins determined to get their parents back together. And of course Maureen O'Hara and Brian Keith was good as their parents as well. If you haven't had a chance to see this one I recommend it. Definitely worth the time put in to watch it.My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (From What Movies I Been Watching on July 20th, 2013) HawthoRNe: Season 1 Ep. 5: The Sense of Belonging, a review by addicted2dvdHawthoRNe: Season 1 Ep. 5 ![]() THE SENSE OF BELONGING Ray is ordered to keep Amanda Hawthorne's upcoming biopsy a secret, while Christina confronts the hospital's star surgeon over a delicate brain operation for a long-time patient. Notable Guest Stars: No One Recognized My Thoughts: A good episode... but not great. I enjoyed both storylines in this episode. Though it seems like to me they could have done a little more with the storyline of Amanda Hawthorne (Title character's mother in law). Of the two storylines I found the one with the brain surgery more entertaining. With this episode watched... I am now half way done season one.
