    Gran Torino

    Anybody else looking forward to this release?

    This is the first movie in a long time that I have told my wife "I will be going to see this movie". Now i need to make up with her so I don't have to go alone

    Yep, going to see it this weekend. Wife and I saw the previews over the holidays. Taking her out to eat then to the movie. Her idea, not mine. (Classic high school/college date, except we will be coming home to three kids):icon_wink:

    Looks like Dirty Harry meets Archie Bunker.

    FYI, it's been sold out back-to-back nights on opening weekend here in Ruston...plan on seeing it during the week with the hopes of a lighter crowd...

    Saw it last night. It was packed too. Great movie, classic Eastwood tough guy, but with a soft spot too. More laughs than I thought, but also very seious undertone to the movie about how things change over time and with generations. Go see it.

    YEP, anything by Spielberg or George Lucas...Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc....

    But I have noticed Eastwood on the talk shows more than usual, compared to other times he has a movie coming out.
