Just Got Back From Seeing Clint Eastwood’s “Gran Torino”
By Debbie Schlussel
I just got back from a critics’ screening of Clint Eastwood’s new movie, “Gran Torino,” and I’m floored. I loved, loved, loved it. “Dirty Harry” is back. Yes, I know it’s not a Dirty Harry movie, but if you liked Eastwood in the days when he played law and order tough guys who got the bad guys–as opposed to the contemporary Eastwood of anti-war and pro-euthanasia movies–you’ll love this.
I can’t post a review yet until the movie comes out, but I can tell you I plan to give it FOUR REAGANS PLUS. It’s definitely one of the best movies of the year. I bet it does mega-profits at the box office, as opposed to his recent anti-war bombs. This is the kind of movie Americans wanna see.
If you’re counting your pennies, as we all are in these tough times, and can only see one movie over the holidays, this is the one. Well worth the ten bucks. The movie comes out on Christmas Day in limited release and wider release after.
Stay tuned for my review right before Christmas. For now, here’s the trailer:
Miss Schlussel, Et Alii:
That sounds like MY kind of movie!
But, pay ten bucks to see a movie at a public theatre?
No movie is worth that!
Still, your reviews are enlightening and highly appreciated.
I’ll let some other folks know about this film, and what you think of it.
On my blog, I refer them to your web site.
Thank you.
