Hello, everyone, and welcome once again to the internets movie review column that has never been attacked by a gang of mutant squirrels, The Gratuitous B-Movie Column, and I am your host Bryan Kristopowitz. In this issue, issue number one hundred and sixty-eight, I take a look at the British action revenge drama from 2009, Harry Brown , starring the great Michael Caine. Harry Brown , directed by Daniel Barber (with a screenplay by Gary Young), is essentially a sort of modern "art house" remake of Chuck Bronson's Death Wish movies with a heavy emphasis on the classic Death Wish 3 . Caine stars as the Harry Brown of the title, a retired Royal Marine/old age "pensioner" who lives a quiet life in a "housing estate" that, I assume, is similar to what Americans call public housing/"the projects" (that's what it looks like to me, anyway). When he isn't visiting his dying wife Kath (Liz Daniels) in the hospital he's hanging out a local pub playing chess with his old friend Leonard (David Bradley). Brown also seems to walk everywhere, except one little tunnel that always seems to be occupied by young hoodlums who appear to be dealing drugs (when they're not beating the crap out of random people, that is). Brown doesn't want to bother anyone, and he doesn't want trouble. Harry Brown just wants to live his quiet life. So, as is often the case in movies of the Death Wish kind, incredibly bad stuff starts happening to Harry Brown. His wife dies in the hospital and he doesn't get a chance to see her one last time to say goodbye (Brown gets a late night call from the hospital telling him to come quick, Kath doesn't have much time left. He walks as fast as he can to the hospital. He would have saved some time had he gone down the tunnel he never goes down, but those damn hoodlums were there, like always, so he had to go the long way instead). And then his buddy Leonard gets killed by a bunch of hoodlums (Leonard told Brown about how he's scared of the young people on the street.

Can you use the Palm Pre On Virgin Mobile since Virgin Mobile uses ...

No. Virgin Mobile only allows Virgin Mobile phones period. The prepaid side won’t even allow Helio phones. But there is a way to get Unlimited talk/text /web possibly on a Palm Pre on Sprint coverage if you are 1)Patient 2) Persistent 3)Adventurerous.

I know a way and it won’t brick your phone or cost you anything other then the airtime of the plan.And it isn’t Boost cdma (which runs on Sprint) because they won’t allow the Pre anyway. You might even get a free smartphone (besides your Pre) out of it.

LMK, but you have to WANT to do this. As it is YOUR phone. But it is highly possible it can be done.

Take care.
