I watched gran torino last night and loved that too. It was like they reincarnated my grandfather!!!!! Same scenario....in the pacific in ww2 and then in the late 80s when my grandmother had died and the neighborhoods that were so nice were now run down by people who didnt take care of anything.

My grandfather would call anyone anything and he would call things like he saw them.....He would hate the PC environment!!

what a great movie. In the last few nights I have watched taken, the wrestler and gran torino. I have doubt, valkrie and slumdog on their way.

Gran Torino on tap - looking forward to seeing that movie...

Valkyrie was pretty good, even if you konw the story, but not exceptional by any means. Slumdog was very good, and while I don't think it was the best picture last year (Dark Knight) I think it definitely deserved it's nomination.

After 2 bad netflix vids I finally got to see the whole thing. I give it a B+. Kinda reminded me of the Rocky movies in a way. A guy down and out but still in good spirits and never saying die...

Downey is a great actor. His problem is that he's a drug addict and takes roles that make $$ over good parts now.

You catch him in Less Than Zero and he and Spader are just ****ing acting circles around everyone else. Short Cuts, Two Guys and a Girl. He's great. If he gets back to doing edgier stuff, you'll see a great talent.

I agree. I like Downey and Spader as well. He's done some **** but who hasn't.
