Burt Reynolds Gets Some More Blu Love!



Warner Brothers has finally heeded my commands and is releasing two classic Burt Reynolds films on blu ray this April.



Hooper is about the life of a Hollywood stuntman and is directed by the late, great Hal Needham.  This is a real fun movie with a star studded cast and is finally being released in anamorphic widescreen, welcome the 90s!



It took five years (http://harrysgauntlet.blogspot.com/2011/05/sharkeys-machine-1981.html) but I am finally getting one of my favorite Burt Reynolds’s movies on blu ray.  Burt is a cop that has been demoted to the vice squad and In the depths of this lowly division, while investigating a high-dollar prostitution ring, Sharky stumbles across a mob murder with government ties, and responds by assembling his downtrodden fellow investigators (Sharky's "machine") to find the leaders and bring them to justice before they kill off all his partners and witnesses, including Sharky himself.  A great action flick and directed by Burt himself.


Both of these get released April 7th!
