I just saw "Gran Torino" last night starring Clint Eastwood.

Highly recommended.

A bitter and lonely war veteran (Korea) lives in a decayed area of town overrun by gang members. Asians move in next-door (to his disdain). This brings him trouble in a roundabout way; as the gung-ho veteran comes to the rescue of their younger son who is being forced by peers to join their gang. Thus he gets pulled into their culture, unwillingly. Through the movie, he befriends the two siblings of the household, and finds himself as mentor to their son and a protector of their family.

It was quite rivetting: full of racial jokes (as he's an old, white war-vet) crissed with cross-cultural drama.

10/10 on my end.

I cannot recall the amount of time I 'lawled' openly in the theatre concerning his racist antics.


i'm really curious about that movie...i've seen the trailers and i think it has a dark theme (i dunno, maybe because the cinema is dark?!)

maybe i'll catch that one if ever i have time...=P

I really want to buy Madagascar 2 on DVD or Blu-ray...It's SUCH a cute/funny movie~

Anyone want to see "Confessions of a Shopaholic"? I think it looks cute! I'm surprised by the PG rating because most movies like that have at least a PG-13 rating...but it's kind of pleasantly surprising. Like "Bride Wars" was PG too...but I didn't care for that one too much. ^^;
I also want to see the new one with Renee Zelweger, "New in Town" or something like that.

Holliwood made movie from game DB Evolution which is everyone already knows and Street Fighter : Chun Li story or something like that, btw the one who act as Chun Li isn't she from SmallVille forgot her name XD. There so many movie from game that have failed in the past, DB Evolution already stinks. but I don't know about this Street Fighter will it success or will be 6 feet under

Kristin Kreuk as Chun Li, you sure about that? I can't picture it in my mind.


There were parts in gran torino when the acting was kinda off. When Walter locked Toad in the basement and the hmong girl's acting too. It seemed off to me.

Well, I believed Jackie Chan played as Chun Li once. Even he was more suited to the role.
