This one concentrates more on the romance then the horror elements so it is not my favoite in the saga. But with an ending like this one... it is not the worst either. I found myself having to push myself to make it through the first 2/3rds of the film... but on that last third it really grabbed my attention. To the point that I am almost looking forward to the final film in the saga.

Stars:
Clint Eastwood as Frank Corvin
Tommy Lee Jones as Hawk Hawkins
Donald Sutherland as Jerry O'Neill
James Garner as Tank Sullivan
James Cromwell (1940) as Bob Gerson

Plot:
They trained body and mind for America's leap into space. When the moment came, the brash flyboys of Team Daedalus were replaced. Now, 40 years later, another moment has come. And this time, it's all theirs.

Directing for the 22nd time and starring for the 42nd, Clint Eastwood leads a stellar cast into orbit in this exhilarating high-tech adventure. Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland and James Garner join him as old-school test pilots whose grasp of outdated technology makes them the only ones able to repair a primitive, deorbiting Russian satellite that imperils Earth. Strap in for "some of the rightest stuff around" (The Wall Street Journal). With an irresistible payload of heart, humor and heroics, Space Cowboys is all-systems-go.

Extras:

• Scene Access
• Feature Trailers
• Featurettes
• Production Notes
• DVD-ROM Content
• Closed Captioned

This is a film I enjoyed quite a bit. It was very well done and has an all star cast that just work great together.While it is a longer then average film, it is so interesting it just don't feel that way. I found all the characters to be appropriately likable... and even if the story is a bit far fetched they somehow make it believable at the same time. If you never seen it... this is one I definitely recommending seeing.

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

Monk


Mr. Monk and the Candidate
Monk investigates an assassination attempt on Mayoral Candidate Warren St. Claire, and learns there's more at play than meets the eye.

My Thoughts:
I always found this to be a fun series. The mysteries are usually secondary to the comedy... but I must admit the mystery in this pilot episode was really enjoyable.

My Rating:
