neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching SUDDEN IMPACT. Folks ask me not infrequently if a critic has ever got me to reevaluate a movie. The great Dave Kehr's insistence on this film's quality is a perfect example of that happening, even though I don't quite like it as much as he does.
neutral · AI labelView post →Like trotting out Eastwood kinda gives the game away that it's a "only my generation does it right" bias. Yeah, he made some great movies, he also made shit like SUDDEN IMPACT that's as sleazy and gratuitous as any Cannon Film.

neutral · AI labelView post →2nd movie of the morning & I I went to the pile of physical media I haven’t watched yet. Sudden Impact, the 4th Dirty Harry film & the only one directed by Eastwood. My least favorite of the franchise so far. The films are always a bit iffy, politically, but this was just mean & icky. #Filmsky

neutral · AI labelView post →This is a clever and less-bloody retelling of both I Spit On Your Grave (1978) and the Dirty Harry film Sudden Impact (1983) that will for-certain make weak men cry “Misandry!” It also casts Clancy Brown in his least-menacing role ever as the protagonist’s loving-but-clueless father
positive · AI labelView post →Everyone* says the last Dirty Harry movie is the one that turns to parody, but you can see hints of it in Sudden Impact (#4) with some forced comedy. It also has the first scene where Harry is shot heroically. Eastwood's direction is surprisingly clunky. *two things I read
negative · AI labelView post →If I was teaching a media literacy class the very first thing I'd do is screen the Dirty Harry movie SUDDEN IMPACT, because for 30 years every time any news report contains the word "we" I automatically quote the line "who's 'we', sucker?" and that is a question people really need to ask a lot more

neutral · AI labelView post →But not really: they changed the name of the town. Changed it for Eastwood's SUDDEN IMPACT (1983) as well. In fact the only film I can think of that was set in actual Santa Cruz was CHASING MAVERICKS (2012).
neutral · AI labelView post →Most of my erroneous AI are of the form: "When searching for a 1930s film containing this scene, you obviously meant the 1983 film Sudden Impact which contains none of the scenes you mentioned, you idiot." It does not inspire confidence.

A jazz man, Lalo was a natural for movie scores. He was good at horror too, here's his rejected Exorcist score: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oAd...

neutral · AI labelView post →Yes,Scott you're right!I was gonna add that to my post and then when I looked it up, I saw that Dirty Harry came out in 71. This movie came out in 82,but then when U said that I looked it up again and that line wasn't said until the Dirty Hairy movie Sudden Impact in'83.It was in Vice squad first!
neutral · AI labelView post →I rewatched all five movies as part of my semi retirement experiment a year or so ago. They are great until the 4th movie, ‘Sudden Impact.’ ‘The Dead Pool’ is only notable for being Liam Neeson’s first Hollywood vehicle.

neutral · AI labelView post →Clint Eastwood directed 40+ films and never publicly second-guessed any. Except Sudden Impact (1983). He admitted he made it "on a whim" just to say he'd directed one Dirty Harry before closing the book on it. That same film gave us: "Go ahead, make my day." #ClintEastwood #DirtyHarry #Cinema

neutral · AI labelView post →This movie is a fun ride. 🎢 Sounds like I need to give Sudden Impact a rewatch. ✅
positive · AI labelView post →Sudden Impact (1983) (the fourth Dirty Harry movie) is so over-the-top with how many violent situations Harry gets thrust into, and how mad his superiors are about it, that it feels like a parody.

Though the whole set up is starting to feel fatigued. If you make it this far, you know what to expect. It doesn't aim to surprise. 91% #SuddenImpact

neutral · AI labelView post →This fourth outing from Clint Eastwood’s “Callaghan” is my least favourite. By now we are more than used to this curmudgeonly inspector, and his disdain for just about every aspect of authority he encounters so we are hardly surprised when his latest ruthless example of law enforcement sees carnage all around, the city looking at hefty bills and him with a price on his head. “Capt. Briggs” (Bradford Dillman) decides to get him out of harm’s way just as, coincidentally, a serial killer is…
