I watched it back in Dec.

Good movie...not at all what I was expecting.

[Punisher84]

I didn't get to go. I went and shot 250 rounds of .45 acp though.

[Guest eyebedam]

This movie was awesome. 1 of the best flicks Ive seen in years.

[Seaslug]

Okay, somebody's gotta break up the party. I saw the movie over the weekend, and I thought the acting was wooden (from everyone but Clint), and the dialogue was formulaic and sometimes campy.

That being said, I enjoyed the hell out of it. I especially liked the theme of active restitution--showing remorse for one's sins by actually DOING something to atone for them.

[Guest dwrd]

I saw it the other night, and was pleased. Not what I was expecting, but that made it a better movie IMO. The other actors weren't the greatest, but Clint was true to form.

[Daniel]

The other actors werent actors. They were real Hmong people which should give them some lee way imo.

Two great movies seen recently: Gran Torino and Valkyrie. Yes, I know...I'm no Tom Cruise fan either. Got to give him credit though - awsome movie.

[Almond27]

if you like both of them you have got to check out defiance its worth the price trust me I loved it.

[Guest superdrew4000]

I saw Grand Torino this afternoon with the Mrs. Man, that has to be one of the best films I've seen in a long time. I saw the "twist" ending coming though, but that in no way ruined it for me.

Had to get a new signature in honor of this awesome flick (kinda challenging finding a line from that movie you could use in public). Definately gonna get this on DVD when it comes out.

[musicman]

What are racial slurs suddenly not acceptable?

JK, I thought the movie was awesome too! It's not what I thought, but I was not let down at all either.

[Punisher84]

Allright I finally got around to seeing this today and I'm pissed off. I deprived myself of this for way to long. It was probably one of the best movies I've seen.

Clint really played my Grandfather lol If any of you guys had ever met him you'd know exactly what I meant. He worked for GM for years, Hell he didn't even live that far from where this movie was shot. Grizzled WWII vet, but easily the smartest man I've ever known.

If Superdrew hadn't already claimed it I had have a new sig line as well A new avatar will have to do

[Guest Angel 24/7]

Xdshooter & I went couple weeks ago. We both loved it. The next one that looks good is the new one that Tom Hanks did, I forgot the name. It was the makers of The Davinci code. It is out in May.

We hardly ever get to go see grown up movies. That will be the next.

[Guest OttoMaddox]

I'm blessed with a friend who gets all the screeners. I saw Gran Torino and Taken before the theatrical releases. Both great but Torino is tops IMHO. Traitor was really good as well. Watched Body of lies last night, ehh.

[Daniel]

Ive got body of lies waiting on me to watch it... trying to watch all the John adams atm.

Angels and Demons. Yea that looks really good.

[Guest Grout]

Think I'll wait for this one to come out on cable.It has been talked about on all the forums and I know how it ends.

I think most people can see the end coming, but it's not about the end it's really about the journey.

[Guest jackdog]

Totally different from what I expected. Easily one of the best movies I have seen.

I thought I knew the end. I didnt until he took dude into the basement.

[TripleDigitRide]

I know I'm way late to the game, but this movie just came out at the local Redbox. Just watched it, and it was great.

[Mike.357]

gotta stop and buy it, been wanting to see it since it came out.
