Gran Torino
A few days ago I watched the movie ‘Gran Torino’ with a few friends. I had a good time and it was fun and relaxing to go out, but the movie was terrible. The characters were walking, talking stereotypes, with their volume turned up 125%. Nobody acts like that. Even people who think those things don’t act like that. People who DO think or do those things, don’t turn around after a week and behave in the opposite manner.
There were a few ideas that were forced too hard as well. The whole church-hater-ending-up-a-Christ-like-sacrifice figure seemed like it was crafted with a blunt instrument.
Throw on top of that a few terrible child actors and Clint Eastwood trying to solidify his reputation as the old gravel-voice, and it was just not worth it. Just my thoughts.

Theo told me you and Nav cried like little girls after the movie as a testament that the movie was great…:P
What i like about that ticket is that it was only 6.50 for the movie. not the solid 12.50-15 here
No kidding! It’s one of the very few things that are cheaper here. $6.50 AUD is just over $5 CAD…
And Cazza, the only crying was about the eCab driver ripping us off, once again, by taking a long and convoluted route for a simple ride home.
There’s something annoying about Clint Eastwood and that voice. How did he ever get fameous for “acting”? I have the same beef about Keanu Reeves and others of that ilk
