So we rented Eastwood's "Gran Torino" over the weekend. After hearing such rave reviews, we thought we'd give it a spin. I'm VERY glad we did. If nothing else, the movie proves that Clint's "still got it"!

I'd give the movie two thumbs up. Not the rough and tough of the "Dirty Harry" series, but you still see the heart of a lion in this flick.

We also got "Truce" with nobody I've ever heard of before. It was a pretty good movie as well, though poorly directed. Great story-line about a grandfather who is suddenly faced with raising a teen granddaughter. Happy ending.

I got "Canadian Bacon" with John Candy for my youngest son, and the Nicolas Cage movie about being an arms dealer (forgot the title) for my oldest son who was here. I didn't watch either of them.

Anyway, I would have NO problem naming "Gran Torino" as the best of the four we rented. Hands down.

No he isn't but there is a visitor in it. It was really pretty cool.

My grandkids and I watched Enchanted. That movie is too cute and I love it. I bet I have watched it 10 times.
