But movies today are getting worse and worse. More filthy and crude than the rated R's of old. So, I pick and choose which ones I see, but the pickins' are slim.
We went and saw this tonight and it was amazing. Here is a brief synopsis:"Walt Kowalski is a widower, grumpy, tough-minded, borderline-hateful, unhappy old man who can't get along with either his kids or his neighbors, a Korean War veteran whose prize possession is a 1973 Gran Torino he keeps in cherry condition. When his neighbor Tao, a young Hmong teenager, tries to steal his Gran Torino, Kowalski sets out to reform the youth. Drawn against his will into the life of Tao's family, Kowalski is soon taking steps to protect them form the gangs that foul their neighborhood."
The movie was funny and slow at parts, but the end was intense. I was sweating. Minus all the cursing and racial slurs, I thought it was great. Lots to take away from it. And Clint was pretty much a bad-A!
In my opinion, Clint got screwed by The Academy.

Glad you liked it! Morg and I still haven't made it to it yet. Maybe we'll try this weekend.
I'm with you on the R rated movies...Braveheart, Last of the Mohicans, Saving private Ryan, etc. They don't count. You do have to pick and choose carefully these days.
I loved this show. It's one of my new favorites. I love Clint's growl, and I learned some new racial slurs for sure.
I'm glad you liked it cause I really want to see it.
I haven't seen it yet...but I plan to. I kind of have the same rule about R movies. Don't make it a point to see them...but if there is one that really calls to me I'll go see.
We havent seen this yet...but heard it was good too. And I'm totally with you- its all about picking and chosing the rated R movies to see.
Mike and I went to see it as well. I didn't think I was going to like it, but Mike really wanted to go so I agreed. Anyway, I really liked it and I'm glad I saw it. Of course, I have to be careful who I recommend it to....considering it's R and all the racial slurs. I really don't think he missed one race.
I really want to see that movie!
Thanks for the review. We are going to the movies tomorrow and we might try that!
i totally agree...what was the academy thinking?!
I've heard that movie was amazing, I really want to see it. It looks so dang good.
