It has been a long time since I last posted to my blog. I decided to make this post about the recent movies I have seen. I checked out Grand Torino with Clint Eastwood. I must say that I enjoyed the movie. Now I know many people might go to see this movie expecting it to be another Million Dollar Baby. I say to those individuals have an open mind. The Movie takes place in a suburb outside of Detroit, where Clint Eastwoods’ character (Korean War Vet) raised his family. His kids and the neighborhood have both changed to the point that he doesn’t recognize either of them. Well it seems that the demographics for the neighborhood have changed for the worse as far as he is concerned. He is one of the only remaining Caucasians that sill resides in the neighborhood. Somehow, through interactions and his observations he becomes the sort of friend/mentor to the son of his next-door neighbors. Well that’s all the information I am giving as to not give away any of the movie. So I recommend that you all try to see before it leaves the theaters.
Another movie I saw recently is Burn after reading with Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and John Malkovich. I have to say that I enjoyed the movie, but I would classify it as the Seinfeld of the movie world because it was a movie about absolutely nothing. Interesting though I would say it’s a DVD/Preview channel type of movie. It is not worth the exoberant prices at the theaters but worth the $5 to rent it from a blockbuster/Netflix type of place or off the preview channel.
Well that’s all I have to review for now. My net movie Blog will include must see movies from back in the day. Later.
