Flags of our Fathers - Will our story shine like a light or end in the dark

So more Clint watching was done as I finally got round to this one. Iwo Jima next. Didn't know what to expect, but this wasn't it. More a story about the propaganda of war and the lives of those that supposedly raised THAT flag. But then it doesn't shirk it's responsibilities and still shows the brutality of war with glorious imagery. Will definitely benefit from multiple viewings. Stella cast.

Gran Torino - No Job, No Car, No Girlfriend, No Future, No Dick...

Well, I had to see this one because of the glowing recommendation. This is not a joke:). It really is that good. Clint plays (he also directs superbly) an old racist, but I thought more of a bigot, although neither one with any real hatred so get over it people. I should go on a lefty, smile on your brother, Hippie BS, never gonna happen rant now, but that's not for this blog. Any Ho, this is great. Funny, Tense, real, it reminded me a bit of Red although there was more humour in this. Tinterweb buzz kinda thought this was a new Dirty Harry film. Maybe it could be and it adds even more humour if you want to think that. Watch and learn everything. Even the fact that Clint Eastwood must have supplied the voice for Oscar the Grouch. Check out that song at the end.
