Harpies (2007)

Actors

Plot
Jason Avery is an ex-cop now working as a museum security guard. Armed thieves break in intent on stealing a priceless obelisk that looks like a glowing crystal dinosaur egg that's stored within this vault-like stone structure that looks like someone merged a Tardis with the Stargate. The scientist/anthropologist/whatever behind the theft talks of the obelisk giving him the power to control harpies, demonic winged female monsters of classic mythology. Through a series of contrived events, the obelisk opens a time portal that Jason promptly falls into, crash landing over a thousand years in the past in a land threatened by evil harpies. Initially only concerned with getting home, Jason gets roped into having to save the villagers, all of whom proclaim him to be this great "harpy slayer" that prophecy says would one day come to save the kingdom. A lot of hullabaloo involves this gold amulet and a mortal villain seeking to gain control of the obelisk in order to hatch a harpy army for him to command and conquer with.

The Angry Silence (1960)

Actors

Plot
The right of every individual to be different from his fellow men is the theme behind this internationally-hailed, British production. The story tells of a man's dilemma when he refused to participate in an unofficial strike, where he works. While vicious, calculated violence brings the other dissenters into line, he goes it alone and is sent to Coventry (given the silent treatment) by his fellow workers. A stirring, thought-provoking film that portrays the human problems and high emotions generated when a man dares to act on the courage of his convictions and dares fight to keep his individual freedom.

Updated: 13 Jul 2013

Here's another video with Harpy and a few runs/tests I've done with her. For more information on the Harpy, my gear as well as the Monkey you can visit my review: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1605911 A few notes about the video: - I tried not to attack or use my skills too much so you can see the Harpy's skills and damage, thus I might seem to be slacking off during some parts but I'm really just holding back to focus on the Harpy instead. - In the previous video I mentioned I'll record a Wood or Earth Pavilion defending just to test how the Harpy can deal with melee monsters. It went as easy as with the Metal/Fire one. - Alright, this isn't to brag about but I have to mention it to be fair. Half-way through the video you'll see that now I have R999 (previously full G16 Nirvana) so you will notice an increase in Harpy's damage and perhaps survivability. The stats at the start of the video are from my G16 Nirvana gear, everytime you see me without weapon fashion the stats are boosted from R999. Check on the link I posted above to see in detail my previous and current gear and damage comparison between Glaive +7 and R999 +10. - In delta, Harpy cannot survive whole waves of monsters so if you use her you need someone to have aggro first. That can be either you or someone else. Otherwise the Harpy is an excellent pet to use for the AOE and stun. - Harpy works great in AOEing monsters as seen in my previous video as well as current video. Additionally, she was able to tank all the Brimstone bosses but the R999 Psychic in the squad stole aggro off her so I decided it's not worth putting the recording up since it was just a few moments of her tanking. However, I did put the recording of the Harpy tanking the Abomination boss (is that what it was called?) She was able to do it just fine (until Psychic overtook aggro) but I doubt a Harpy at-level can do it. - She has no trouble tanking Blackhole. - I forgot to record TT stuff so the footage is rather limited, sorry :(
