Just back from seeing Gran Torino - Blu-ray Forum

pacificvibes · 01-04-2009, 04:26 AM

and aside from paying 59 dollars for movie tickets, popcorn and drinks

the movie was absolutely amazing. I had high expectations for this movie and it surpassed them with flying colors. Has anyone else seen the movie yet?

Thanks for posting this. No, I haven't seen it yet, but I'm a huge Eastwood fan and I am so looking forward to seeing Gran Tarino. It doesn't seem to be playing close to me in San Diego so I'll have to wait until it opens in more theaters.

It is so good, it would be worth a drive somewhere. If you like Dirty Harry, you'll like this.

Great to hear! I love Clint Eastwood and have been looking forward to this one.

pacificvibes · 01-04-2009, 04:32 AM

Go with a open mind and dont try and think what might happen. Just sit back and enjoy.

Really good movie. In my top 5 for the year. Classic Eastwood story. I hope he's recognized with the plethora of awards available.

4 stars!

please dont get me started. I went with my family which consisted of my dad, mom and myself. Each ticket as $10.75, yippee for California's crazy prices on things

and my parents went to buy the food but I didnt even ask how much that was. My word this is getting insane.

STARSCREAM · 01-04-2009, 04:41 AM

Kettle corn is the bomb!! I love it. I just recently got my wife to try it and now she is hooked as well.

Yes it is, they make it so you have big clusters that are stuck together with the salt/sugar mix. YUM

^back to the movie, I really want to see this one. It helps to know that you and Jasonbird both like it. I like to know that it's not just for critics but regular people.

ZackL · 01-05-2009, 09:59 PM

It was a pretty great movie. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

(Fe)Man · 01-05-2009, 10:15 PM

I loved the movie. It wasn't at all anything that I was expecting. I laughed a lot during it and it had a great story. A def. must see. I'll buy it when it's released on blu.
