Looks good.  Plan on going tonite.  Don't normally do movies, but as soon as I saw the trailers, I figured I needed to go.

  • Super User

It's getting fantastic reviews.

I don't normally go to the show, but when a Clint Eastwood movie comes out, I head to the theater.

Classic.

Haven't seen many movies, eh?

I saw it a couple weeks ago, worth a watch for sure. Eastwood is his usual tough guy self. He more than makes up for the poor acting from the rest of the characters.

  • Super User

I am NOT an Eastwood fan, but I love his character in this movie.

I saw it yesterday with a buddy, freakin awesome movie! :D

  • Super User

Just got back.  Love it when they are trying to coach the hmong kid how to interact at the barbershop.  Great movie.

I don't understand hows this movies is getting such good reviews...Eastwood did a good acting job but besides that, I thought it was a little dry and drawn out.

I saw this movie a month before it came out in theaters.

Going to see it at 7.

....bootlegs are AWESOME!

  • Super User

Wow, very disappointed. Not worth the $10.50 in my book.

Eastwood was great, but that was most likely because everyone around him was so bad.

Come on, what about the barber?  The barber shop scenes were a hoot.

lets see...  

here you have a story that reveals the transformations power of persistent and sacrificial love without being trite or short-cutting the process.  

you have powerful acting from a whole cast of characters.

you have conflict of cultures and identities, which finds plausible resolution.

you have a great window into a microcosm of the changing american identity.  

you have a subculture trying to define (and re-define) itself within that american experience.

oh, i dont know... i guess your right... i should have popped in superbad and rolled tape.

::) lol superbad is definently not in the same category but my take was it was almost a pointless movie unless you like watching something about morals, values, and diversity in a community. I dont know about you but I hear enough about that stuff on a daily basis. By far not what I expected from Clint Eastwood, good thing I didn't pay to watch it.

Just my take on it....

unless you like watching something about morals, values, and diversity in a community.

it wasnt long ago that people would have said, "morals, values or diversity in the community."

if hearing this stuff on a daily basis is a part of that transition...

ROLL TAPE!

That describes every film Eastwood has ever done.  Hell, I don't think he's much of an actor myself.  I love Heartbreak Ridge, but Eastwood was about as good in that as a mime on the street.

You gotta be kidding, right !?

You've never seen Outlaw Josey Wales or Unforgiven ?

Two of the greatest westerns, period.

I've seen more than enough movies and can't think of one better than this off the top of my head
