Went to see Gran Torino the other day. What can I say? An absolutely phenominal film. Clint Eastwood at his best more so as a director than actor and his performance is also fantastic. The great thing is no matter how many films he plays in, the man has just got great on screen persona. The characters he plays in every film are similar but somehow he just pulls it off so well. Best thing about this film is the amount of issues that it brings up about modern america. Religion, racism, prejudice, creed, it's all there. Truly my favourite film of the year and in my opinion one of Eastwood's finest pieces of work. Been watching a lot of My Name Is Earl recently. Do really like this program, pretty well shot and I think this is a great example of just how far you can stretch a good idea. The story is so simple but can keep going forever. Definite viewing for days were you night be hungover.
