Dirty Harry/Magnum Force (Double Feature) [Blu-ray]


  • Ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Clint Eastwood knocks the movie world on its ear, starring as iconic SFPD cop Harry Callahan and tracking the Scorpio Killer in the trend-setting Dirty Harry. Callahan defies vigilante cops in Magnum Force, a counterpoint to the first film and an action bull s-eye that has Harry taking dead aim with the most powerful handgun in the world. Format: BLU
In the tradition of Training Day and Man on Fire, Academy Award winner Cuba Gooding, Jr. (Jerry Maguire) stars in this hard-edged story of a gangbanger turned cop who is forced to choose between his conscience and his loyalty to the code of blue all in the course of one day.

Having been a gangbanger at only 10 years old, Armando Sancho (Clifton Collins, Jr., Capote) always found acceptance in being a part of a group. The only thing better than king of the street? ' a gangster with a badge. Recruited i! nto an undercover, rogue anti-gang unit of the LAPD at only 28 years old, Sancho brings his street smarts into the force that he swore to protect.

But the line between loyalty and protection becomes blurred when one night on a routine investigation, Sancho's partner Salim (Gooding) kills an innocent man. Unable to deal with his partner's actions and haunted by his conscience, Sancho agrees to testify against his superiors regarding the ongoing criminal enterprises of his squad in exchange for immunity for the murder.

As the hours wear on, Sancho's resolve begins to fade. The IA agents inform him his deal is off unless he can also bring in his partner to corroborate his testimony. Faced with a seemingly impossible task, Sancho realizes for the first time the enormity of the decision he has made.This is what happenedÂ…

He turned and smiled at me and I was surprised enough to smile back. This was not a children's candy store, m! ind youâ€"this was the kind of place you went to buy expensive! importe d chocolate truffles for your boss's wife because you felt guilty for having sex with him when you were both at a conference in Milwaukee.

Hypothetically speaking, of course.

I've been hit on plenty of times, mostly by men with little finesse who thought what was between their legs made up for what they lacked between their ears.

Sometimes I went home with them anyway, just because it felt good to want and be wanted, even if it was mostly fake.

The problem with wanting is that it's like pouring water into a vase full of stones. It fills you up before you know it, leaving no room for anything else. I don't apologize for who I am or what I've done inâ€"or outâ€"of bed.

I have my job, my house and my life, and for a long time I haven't wanted anything else.

Until Dan. Until now.In the summer of 1963, innocent 17-year-old Baby (Grey) vacations with her parents at a Catskill's resort. One evening, she is drawn to the staff quarters by ! stirring music.

Japanese only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD - playable on all CD players) pressing includes one bonus track. Universal. 2008.A must-buy for any teen or twentysomething who considers themselves the least bit cool.

"Chapel Hill"). --Jeff Bateman DIRTY HARRY/MAGNUM FORC! E - Blu- Ray Movie
