With Gran Torino coming out on DVD this week, I decided to dig up my old review. I originally posted this on January 16, 2009 under the title, " Gran Torino and the Legacy of Dirty Harry ." For the record, I still think Gran Torino was one of the best films of 2008. (On a more personal note, I also think my writing style has improved in the last six months. See if you agree.) When I went to see Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino , I didn't go into the theatre with the intention of writing a review... Read Full Story
THE DAILY - Competition: “Changeling” by Clint Eastwood
CANNES (rushprnews) 05/20/2008 - Five years after premiering Mystic River at the Festival de Cannes, Clint Eastwood returns to Competition with Changeling, a thriller which takes place in the late 1920s in a working-class suburb of Los Angeles. Read Full Story
By CHRISTOPHER KELLY - McClatchy Newspapers Gook. Dragon lady. Swamp rats. These are but a few of the cringe-inducing racial epithets spewed by Clint Eastwood's Walt Kowalski in "Gran Torino," the cringe-inducing new drama directed by Eastwood. A grousing, growling racist from the Archie Bunker old school, Walt finds himself as the last white person still living on a now entirely Asian-American street in a run-down neighborhood in Detroit. In real life, of course, Walt would probably just... Read Full Story
I am very cautious when it comes to award winning and critically acclaimed movies. I am still bitter at checking out Crash after it garnered an Academy Award for best movie only for it to be the worst thing I have ever seen on film (naturally it ended winning the top honors that year). So I wasn’t quick to check out one of the most critically acclaimed movies of last year, Gran Torino . If fact the only reason why I did was because I had a free rental for Redbox, but there was some slim... Read Full Story

Not exactly a road movie in the traditional sense, Gran Torino is a combo tragic and goofy journey through time rather than space, as the film’s director and star Clint Eastwood gets into surly senior power. And while flexing those rejuvenated geriatric muscles, but mostly verbal and otherwise. Though what a tongue lashing indeed, poised to give those Superbad youngsters a run for their money.
It’s an odd but never less than intriguing addition to the end of year wrap-up movie season... Read Full Story
I went to see Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino last night and woke up thinking about it this morning. That’s when I know a movie or book has touched me forever, changed me for life. When I can’t stop thinking about the story and I can’t get the characters out of my mind.
When I picked the movie, I went on the five star ratings and one recommendation from a Twitter friend. I had no idea what the movie was about. I thought, “Clint Eastwood…make my day…guns…” How could I go wrong? It’s been... Read Full Story
This was taken in Baltimore while Eastwood was working on "Absolute Power". We had missed him at the set that day but someone told us that he left to scout the next location and gave us the general area where he would be. We rushed down there only to see Clint getting to his towncar. [...] Read Full Story
