    Gran Torino

    Want to see Gran Torino with Clint Eastwood. Great movie.

    Probably won't be seen my many people since it's not a blockbuster but it has an important message.

    Eastwood is not PC at all in this movie. Think I heard most of the racial slurs there is except the N word.

    I saw it two nights ago... and tonight, we saw "Marley and Me".

    I liked Gran Torino... very 'Eastwood'ish'... I heard that he said it may very well be his last movie.

    There was really no other way it could have ended, although, I thought it was going to end different. VERY adult language, but, a good flick, with an excellent message.

    I really want to go see this movie! Trying to get hubby (aka couch potato) interested. It's hard to even get him out of the house.

    LOL! I second that ! This is not a chick-flick, that's for sure !

    This is the first movie DH and I have gone to see since Titanic came out. My son took me to see Spiderman 3 but other than that we dont go to the theater. DH wanted to see this sooo bad so we went. I am not really into movies, and to be honest Clint Eastwood isnt one of my faves, but this was really really really a good movie. And .. when we went on opening night, it was packed, but with " GROWN UPS" . There were no kids, teens, or cell phones! It is a must see.
