OK, I took California Peggy's advice and slept instead of watching The Cell. How about Gran Torino?

2. My dear newcriminal!

I thought "Gran Torino" was great! Clint Eastwood is outstanding...

The ending seemed a bit far-fetched, but ...

I'd still recommend it.

:hi:

7. Really? I do hate that.

I grew up with a father that said some pretty awful things daily.

13. How does the old guy do it. First off, it's shot sort of indie style with first-time

actors makes it really cool. It's contemporary, sad and funny. And Clint pulls it off with such grace. How does this Octogenerian do it.

17. I didn't really like the movie

Clint Eastwood did a great job. Many of the other characters did a great job. But the main supporting character, Toad, was so bad it was painful to watch. The so-called actor, Bee Vang, had no acting experience prior to the movie and it shows.

If you can get past his "acting", it's not a bad movie. I couldn't.
