Eastwood's Gran Torino comes out today.
Man has always had a sense of timing.
New York Times said the film is strong.
Love this passage:
Mr. Eastwood’s loose, at times very funny performance in the early part of the film is one of its great pleasures. While some of this enjoyment can be likened to spending time with an old friend, Mr. Eastwood is also an adept director of his own performances and, perhaps more important, a canny manipulator of his own iconographic presence. He knows that when we’re looking at him, we’re also seeing Dirty Harry and the Man With No Name and all his other outlaws and avenging angels who have roamed across the screen for the last half-century. All these are embedded in his every furrow and gesture.

Weird, almost 17 years ago, I thought I was watching Clint Eastwood in his grand finale in Unforgiven.
What a legend.
Has he, with the incredible storm-surge of a past 20 years put himself as the No. 1 Hollywood star of all time?
