(An aside---don't you hate how some PG-13 movies feel the need to insert the granddaddy of all dirty words the maximum number of times just because they can? That's the type of thing that cheapens an otherwise good flick.) In war movies you expect some battle violence (which is why nearly every war movie earns an R rating) and Gran Torino is a war movie of sorts. It's actually Fiddler on the Roof meets Boys in the Hood, only Clint Eastwood doesn't have to sing. Does that pique anyone's interest?

Also, I'm committed to not seeing Quantum because I've watched every James Bond movie multiple times and I'm tired of them. You've piqued my interest with Curious Case of Benjamin Button (ok, ok, I confess, Brad is a hunk). Will recommend the theater work to my granddaughter that just moved in with us! I'd go more often if it was free! Thanks for the info. ;-) Haven’t made it to any of the movies but am planning to see Gran Torino (glad to know it’s good).
