"The director of a failing summer camp decides to invite campers from ten years ago for a free weekend event, hoping that he can trick them into fixing up the place and also get their families to provide them some financial support. The boys and girls return to the camp and play pranks on each other and try to score with the other campers and the staff."

Clint Eastwood marathon continued with Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974) and The Eiger Sanction (1975).
While both are enjoyable films, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot has much better story. George Kennedy is in both movies and Eastwood became friends with him. Lots of cool characters, beautiful girls and gritty, 70s style action which i love. Good stuff!

First half is lighter, quite funny but the second has my stomach in knots by the time it gets to the end courtroom shenanigans. And then the final scene always has me cracking up through the credits
i can remember watching this with my parents many years back and thinking it was a really great movie.
not seen it in years,i need to check this one out again.
pacino's such a great actor,few months back i watched donnie brasco again for the umpteenth time and everytime i watch it i'm completely mesmerized by his performance.
there's a few actors that can do this,chris walken is another one when i watched him in the dead zone for the first time and when he meets his tragic end i was completely gobsmacked. i felt so gutted!
some actors can portray there characters so well,there on different level altogether!

I need to watch few 70s Pacino movies. I own And Justice for All deluxe edition dvd but i´ve never seen the film. I also bought Bobby Deerfield few months ago, it´s about time to check those out. The Dead Zone is a magical film. No matter if you´ve only seen it once, it will haunt you for the rest of your life.

WHOOO-WAHHHH, Pa-CI-no is THE greatEST (accenting random syllables like the great Al Pacino). You know what's sad though, the heroes of my youth, DeNiro and Pacino, now late in life getting stuck in stuff way beneath their abilities like DeNiro's Red Lights and Pacino's cameo in Jack and Jill. If I were an established actor with a good resume who starts getting offered crap or mostly direct-to-digital stuff--are you listening John Cusack?--I think that I'd hang it up.

Marnie, 1964 Hitchcock film starring Tippi Hedren and Sean Connery. From the collection my hubs and I bought that I mentioned earlier. I don't think it was one of Alfred's best movies. The overacting and histrionics were laughable. Hard to believe she is the Mother of Melanie Griffith.

Btw Crash, I am in total agreement. There has got to be some better parts for two of the greatest actors, other than the latest craptastic stuff they've done!

Making my way through the Dirty Harry Collection.
"When a mad man calling himself 'the Scorpio Killer' menaces the city, tough as nails San Francisco Police Inspector Harry Callahan is assigned to track down and ferret out the crazed psychopath."
After all these years, this is still a bona fide classic.
"Dirty Harry is on the trail of vigilante cops who are not above going beyond the law to kill the city's undesirables."
A great follow up. Almost as good as the original. Posts: 1564 | From: Emirates Stadium | Registered: Apr 2007 | Site Updates: 0

Sexual antics, numerous people acting suspiciously, implausible plot-turns, and black-gloved killers :
It's giallo time !
Love And Death In The Garden Of The Gods (1972)
Very obscure piece of Euro-sleaze finally found its way to dvd last year on a high-quality release from Germany.
Actually it's more a psycho-sexual descent into madness rather than a full-blown giallo.
Directed by Sauro Scavolini (brother of Nightmares In A Damaged Brain director Romano Scavolini), better known as the writer of several more familiar gialli such as The Case Of The Scorpion's Tail (1971) and Your Vice Is A Locked Room And Only I Have The Key (1972).

I have never even heard of "Love and Death in the Garden of the Gods"! I must check it out.
Helen, did you know that when "Kiss of the Vampire" was purchased for showing on US network TV back in the day, they changed the title to "Kiss of Evil" and added six minutes of newly shot footage? They did the same thing with "Hands of The Ripper," adding footage.

Last year, there were another two previously thought-to-be-lost giallo gems restored to near-perfection :
The Killer Reserved Nine Seats (1974) directed by Giuseppe Bennati, and Nine Guests For A Crime (1977) directed by Ferdinando Baldi.
They may be hard to find and a bit expensive.. but they're soooooo worth it.. trust me !
Definitely among the 10 best dvd / blu-ray releases of 2014.

The Dirty Harry films decrease a step in quality with each film. Dirty Harry is a masterpiece, Magnum Force is excellent, and The Enforcer is good, but not great. The last two, Sudden Impact, and particularly, The Dead Pool, just burned out the series. A shame... Clint really should've stopped while he was ahead.

Continued watching Eastwood films with Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) What a marvelous revisionist Western it was set during and after the American Civil War. Cool cast includes Clint, Chief Dan George, Geraldine Keams, Bill McKinney, John Vernon and Sondra Locke. Awesome characters, lots of witty dialog and excellent cinematography once again by Bruce Surtees. Highly recommended!
