Gran Torino

Liked the movie, liked the story. Had some issues with some of the story, but nothing too serious. A good watch. Eastwood is still a bad ass.

He was good, but I'm not sure how good. I almost wonder if they cast the worst actors they could find for the other roles just to make viewers forget that Eastwood is playing the same guy he plays in 90.82% of his roles. Man, was the rest of the cast awful. I can't believe there aren't any decent Laotian or Vietnamese actors out there. Hell, any Asian will work. Cast Jackie Chan as Thao and Lucy Liu as Sue. Chow Yun-Fat and Jet Li as the gang members. White people won't even know the difference.

You gave it a good review, you included you're gut reaction...and w/details of what you felt were weak or suspect...with some humor, (albeit lame) :biggrin: :biggrin:

Can't ask for more than that. This kind of info is exactly what film makers need and want...and actually pay for, although not as effective as this. Tremendous job, Bucky Katt! Look forward to more of the same.

Lame humor? From me? That's unpossible.

Lakeview Terrace-not bad, Samuel Jackson is in basic smart-ass psycho mode, it would have been better if the movie took the exploration of racial issues further, instead of just going w/ the "Samuel L. Jackson is PIIIIIISED!" angle

DeathRace-great action flick, lots of ultra-violence, cinematography is cool, doesn't try to be anything more than a kick ass action and does a great job of it
