Got a (Sharky's) Machine Head
Tuesday, February 10. 2009
We're celebrating a day early this year since tomorrow will be the close of the polls and announcements of the winners for the first annual Bandit Awards.
Truth be told, Sharky's Machine is on the lower end of my personal list of favorite Burt Reynolds movies. It's no Cop and ½, but it just didn't really feel as solid as some of his other work. I know part of it was because it kept trying to be both a tough-as-nails cop drama and a comedy, but ended up missing both marks. Still, Reynolds deserves credit for the effort, and so I've added the Dodge Diplomat seen briefly in the movie to my 1/24 collection.
