FINALLY! "Bernie" is a movie worth watching

Bernie (9) got me back to the theater. Glad I went (for a change.)

Gran Torino

Rating: 9
Genre: Adult Drama
Starring: Clint Eastwood


Walt Kewalski (Eastwood) is a throwback. He can't relate to his sons and teen-aged grandchldren. The Asian immigrants who move in next door are a world apart from his experiences as a retired Ford factory worker. More importantly, a gang of young thugs brings out the ex-Vietnam battle-hardened warrior in him. Walt becomes involved with his neighbors against their tormentor. This is an outstanding movie, absorbing and deeply moving.
