Geez AJ.....not now......We are talking REAL movies!!
Saw MILK, Cried MILK, forgot to mention MILK. My daughter actually was the one who wanted to see this. Being a "tear jerker" I had no interest other than hearing the true story. Damn, it was an important film. HE was an important man. Watch it.  7.5/10

On the suggestion of Jack, I saw the movie and I am still stunned.
It is a really good one and what a great way for Eastwood to end his acting career!
The movie is captivating, intelligent and intense.
I felt one way for the main character in the beginning, then in the middle, he changed, and at then end-WOW! I stayed speechless.

Now, it is definitively not the best movie if the year and I do not expect it to win any major awards, although it should be nominated at least for Eastwood's playing.
But it is a movie that everybody should see at least once. I highly recommend it.

And, yes, there are many racial insults, but you will see how it ends( I don't wanna spoil it for you )  ;)

I've nearly got the movie memorized - Ghostbusters rules.

@CMF - I'm glad you liked Gran Torino because it makes me feel better about your recommendation of The Wrestler:D

POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILER INFO........ ::)




In regards to the "Racial Insults", the scene in the barber shop where they were trying to teach the kid how to interact as a "man" showed me that this is based on old school philosophy. Not oly did they dish out the racial labels, they took them too. I compare it with how some blacks use the N-word between themselves as a term of endearment. Does this make it right? Hell no, but it is the way it is. I didnt take any of the so called slurs as anything more than old school slang.  Thought it was very reverant when the girl threw it right back at him, got a serious chuckle out of that.

Can we add the button that hides spoilers?

SPOILER ALERT!!!

That's ultimately why he ends up liking her because she shoves his poo back in his face.

I think giving any kind of hint at what direction the film take spoils some of the way the story progresses, so I'm trying not to say too much.  ;D
