    GT is an excellent movie. I thought it was one of Eastwood's best performances.

    pretty good movie. Not really what I was expecting. A lot less action and a lot more laughs. Kind of a sucky ending but life ain't always a happy ending.

    If you are a gook or a spick or a wop or a beaner or a zipper head or a spook you better take your thick skin with you

    I'll probably rent it or buy it off Amazon.

    As much as I love Eastwood it seems he's a little long in the tooth to be (playing) a hardass.

    It's a damned good movie. Eastwood should have been nominated for best actor but Hollywood thinks he's not cool enough. Shows you how much they know. Frank Kowalski is my hero.

    Eastwood has always been something of an outcast in Hollywood. The snobs think his films are fluff, and his appeal is cheap. I'll admit that some of his work was not the best but he has made some great films. My personal favorate is The Outlaw Josie Wales. This Gran Torino is pushing up toward the top of my Eastwood List.
