He reminded me a lot of my grandpa in this movie. Of course I am sure all men born around 1930 are like that.

Clint plays himself in mostly every movie. It was a great flick though.

So when the cops grab the priest and leave their post outside of the gangbangers house, is that Walt's doing through a favor from a friend?

Excellent movie... I would go watch it right now but must go sleep as I'm exhausted.
Besides, my evening went well enough with that Cavs/Lakers game.

If you now have Netflix, take full advantage of the opportunity not just for recent films but for tv shows where you have the benefit of watching it back to back rather than having to wait for a week. In case you didn't watch it on HBO, get "The Wire." Huge. Quickly.

I just added The Wire to my instant cue to watch on the PS3. I haven't streamed anything yet, but when I heard how good it works on the PS3 that finally got me to sign up.Manhattan Buckeye wrote: "BTW, Netflix get's 2 thumbs up too. I just started netflix about 2 weeks ago"

The first few episodes are a little slow as they are introducing the characters, but seasons 2 through 4 are Oscar level great. The fifth (final) season had some issues, which you'll see when the time comes but it is still a fantastic show. Analyzing the fifth season is probably a thread in itself!

Wait until Sony integrates Netflix into the XMB like Xbox360(it's pretty slick).LJ wrote:I just added The Wire to my instant cue to watch on the PS3.

If this is a top 10 movie for you, then your movie watching must not go past the Santa with Muscles stage.
