We never miss anything with Clint Eastwood so went to see Gran Torino yesterday and thought it was fantastic. I woke up this morning thinking about it - LOVE movies that make me do that. I will have to watch it again to see parts I missed. Eastwood movies have so many subtleties. Hubby and I generally have "different" taste in movies so am wondering if anyone else here has seen this one and what they thought. It was fun to see moments where "Dirty Harry" appeared We both laughed and cried.

Taking Chance -************************************************** **

Can I give it TWO LEAKY EYES or LES's?

HBO premiered this short movie, based on the notes of a Marine officer who volunteers to escort the body of a young Private who us killed in Iraq.

I watched it twice tonight because I could not get through it the first time.

A very touching story about how our soldiers 'get home' when they are killed in combat.

For me, this movie especially reinforces the notion that the caskets boing brought home from overseas should NOT photographed and printed as a media propaganda tool.

To take one dead soldier's casket and use it in the media as a representation of all the the rest is a slight to the families of service people and the men and women who prepare and escort them to their final resting places.

Great movie, see it if you can.

I saw slumdog millionaire, I really like it. I wasn't really that interested in watching it but it was really good.

I watched The Changeling with Angelina Jolie.
Loved it!

"Burn After Reading" w/Brad Pitt, George Clooney, John Malkovich, all my faves. It should've been titled "Burn Instead of Viewing". Ugh.

I have been wanting to see it. It just looks beautifully done.

I saw "Milk" last night. Everyone should go see this movie. It was amazing, and I cried and cried at the end even though I knew how it would turn out! It is amazing to me, that in 1978 California voted "no on prop 6" but in 2008, it was "yes on prop 8" - it really made me think.

I just watched "Japanese Story" for the third time, and i am a person who hardly ever watches a movie more than once.

Please if anyone else has seen it, i would love to hear what you think about it, i have raved about it before on PT long time ago, it stars Australian actress Toni Collette (from muriels Wedding) she is fantastic in it too.

I think this movie has the complete package,a little drama, good humour,Romance and there are some moments in it i can only describe as tender, and beautifully done, not to mention the wonderful scenery of the Australian outback.

Prepare to have your box of tissues handy girls.

LOVE IT LOVE IT.

I also watched Death at a Funeral last night on the telly,was very enjoyable, good British sattire, bit over the top at times, but yes entertaining.

I have heard nothing but good things about that film. I love Clint Eastwood, he has just really made some incredible films. I really love Million Dollar Baby, and have heard that this is as good.
