Oziumrules 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1205489/Just got back from "Gran Torino" starring Clint Eastwood and I must say it was one of the best films I have seen in a few years. I saw "Slumdog Millionaire" last week and loved it but Gran Torino floored me. Eastwood still has it and he might win Best Actor & Director Oscars. If you get a chance, I highly reccomend it, even if your not an Eastwood fan. Link to post Share on other sites

Oziumrules 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 so it's a lock?Yes... How were you able to view the film that early? It was released 2 weeks ago (soft release) and nationwide last Friday? Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I'm sorry, but Eastwood is the Keanu Reaves of old actors.I'm not saying I don't like watching him, but he's totally Keanu. Link to post Share on other sites

coesillian 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 The movie was good but not great.Eastwood was epic though, he had so many great 1 liners, it was hysterical. Link to post Share on other sites

speedz99 145 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I mean...he's a legend and all, but can someone please explain how he's a phenomenal actor, not just a guy that plays the same part (possibly himself) in 95% of his films? I don't have a strong opinion either way, I'm just curious. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have a strong opinion either way, I'm just curious.Even if he does play the same character (John Wayne anyone), he plays it so well that we overlook it. But to compare him to Keanu Reeves is just ridiculous. Most actors play similar roles in all their movies. There are very few actors who can play completely different characters and play them belieivably. Clint is just exceptionally good at what he does. I dont know, Im a Clint fan though, so I could be blinded. Link to post Share on other sites

bigkg 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 He's a much better director and filmmaker than he is an actor.This.He's very good at playing a certain role but doesn't have much range. But to compare him to Keanu is...hilarious. Link to post Share on other sites

Governator 54 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Yea I watched it Dec 16th.... and I will definitly buy it. I've recommended it to everyone but I don't think it'll win an oscar imo. Great movie, Eastwood rocks, but I don't think it'll win an award. Link to post Share on other sites

Poppy_Hillis 11 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Saw this tonight and I loved it, but I don't get the Oscar hype. It was good and really entertaining and I'll probably watch it everytime I catch it on cable but an Oscar winner, really? And there was some pretty laughable acting.As far as Clint goes, I don't think he's a great actor but that doesn't mean I don't love him. Link to post Share on other sites
