Reply With QuoteI've never seen the movie Kim but i'd like to.
I've heard good things about it from most of the people I know who have seen it.
Did anyone watch Clint Eastwood's movie "Gran Torino" when it came out a while back?
Did you enjoy it? I loved that movie, I'm looking forward to watching it on video.
Talking about fit, Clint not looking his age, and enjoying life.

Clint's character in this movie is gruff and charming, with a heart of gold.
Clint himself, is 79, no way would you pick it.
I've noticed the same with so many other people, too, of late, and am surprised when I find out how old they are. We are all living longer, which is wonderful. 79 doesn't seem to be perceived as being old, anymore.

I recommend the movie, honey. I took my boy (well he's wouldn't like me saying that, hehe), there were things he could learn from that movie on family, and supporting others. Good family values which shouldn't be lost. LOL, Clint's character and his friend taught a boy how to act like a man, they had me in stitches, lol.
OMG i loved that movie.....one of a must see movie IMO.
From IMDB :
Recently widowed senior Walt Kowalski ( Clint Eastwood ) speaks his mind no matter who he offends, and growls under his breath whenever he disagrees with those around him. Much of his personal values are shaped from his time in the Korean War. He doesn't understand his family, nor they him. As such, they tolerate each other more than love each other. He has lived in the same house for much of his adult life, in an older working class suburban neighborhood of Detroit. It is slowly transforming into an immigrant neighborhood. The Lor family, of ethnic Hmong descent, move in next door to Walt, the family which includes two teenagers: outspoken Sue, and brooding and passive Thao. The neighbors' initial "don't speak to me" relationship changes when, out of circumstance, Walt saves Thao from a potentially violent incident with a Vietnamese youth gang. This incident, only the latest of run-in's Thao has had with them, sparks the neighbors to get to know each other. This new relationship with his neighbors extends to an antagonistic relationship with the Vietnamese gang. Walt realizes that neither Thao or Sue will ever be able to live in peace as long as the gang exists. Written by Huggo
Absolutely loved this movie! Clint is looking great, too. Now then, my favorite scene is when Walt is sitting on his porch taking neighbor requests odd jobs for Thao.
He & his nemesis, the gramma - each cussing each other. This movie is definitely in my Wish LisT!
Just pretend, I'm holding you, and whispering things soft and low.
And think of me, how it's gonna be and just pretend I didn't go
We saw it over the Christmas holidays and LOVED it!
I love that scene, Lisa! lol The whole audience laughed when they were competing in their "crankiness" lol
I loved it when Walt was helping the young man to ask out the girl, and his nickname for the girl, lol.Walt cared so much under his tough exterior. So many highlights in the movie.
