If I was a boy and each day of this marathon was a year I'd be old enough to drive because I'd be 16. Today I watched Dirty Harry. I noticed that in my movie watching history I've had a sore lack of Clint Eastwood so today I took a small step towards correcting that. Dirty Harry is about a no-nonsense cop who spends the movie mainly chasing down one really ugly serial killer. I do mean ugly too, this guy must be made of wood from the ugly tree held together by snot rocket paste. He's got a really odd laugh too. Every scene in which this ug-o is getting hurt I was cheering on the inside. Dirty Harry does a good job handing over some hurt too. Except for one scene under a cross, which seemed a little out of character for the guy. This is an old movie and as such the pacing and stuff feels dated, which can make it hard to really get in to, for me at least. All in all here you get a bad dude cop and a bad guy that's not hard to hate and it's a fairly entertaining ride.
One thing I'd like to mention is the blood in this movie, it's so over done. I mean, sometimes it looks like candle wax. Just a goofy special effect from a by-gone era I guess.
Favorite scene would be probably the bank robbery.
