Clint Eastwood, the ageless auteur is adding two more notches to his director's belt. The higher profile of the pair was jan's Angelina Jolie vehicle Changeling. But it's Gran Torino, an indie-size drama abt a crotchety Korean War vet, that persuaded him to take an onscreen role for the first time since 2004's Million Dollar Baby. He plays widower Walt Kowalski, a bitter, bigoted former autoworker in Detroit who disapproves of his new neighbours, a family of Hmong immigrants. How he learns to appreciate them and their culture, and to help the family's teenage son and daughter when they're threatened by a local gang, is at the generous heart of this terrific movie. Torino, and Clint, will make your day. So far this is the best movie i had watched this year!!!!Thursday, April 30, 2009
