“Gran Torino” starring Clint Eastwood
This year I park my preference for special effects and let it all ride on a movie with a message that cuts both ways. Gran Torino is a moderately disturbing social commentary that is to an older age what “Falling Down” was to mid-life crisis.
Runner Up: “GI Joe”
Whudda thunk that a guy doll would elicit such a swell of testosterone and special effects. This one might not be as good as I remember it. It could be a matter of perception, like when a big guy walking a toy poodle looks that much bigger.
