Andy:
Those files that end in those extensions are called 'compressed files'.
They're just like ZIP files, only they were compressed using another method.
If you did not create these files or you'd like to know how to open them up,
you can download a free trial program that I use sometimes. It's called
WinRAR and you can get it from
http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar330.exe. If you
install this program it will allow you to open the .RAR files and look
inside to see what's in them.
Given the directory structure you're finding them in, it's possible that
they may be temporary files that were created while watching a DVD movie
(The Hulk) or maybe there were some Hulk related files that were downloaded
to the machine. Give the naming convention of the last word in the file name
(loGisTic) it would be safe to assume that the files were downloaded from a
movie trading site. I do not know if you need these files, or if someone
used your laptop to download a movie off the Internet; but I CAN tell you
that they are not system related files and the operating system will
function normally if you remove them.
Let us know if you have any other questions Andy!
