Gran Torino (2008) starring Clint Eastwood, directed by Clint Eastwood. Crusty, racist Korean War veteran Walt Kowalski (Eastwood) must come to terms with his Hmong immigrant neighbors after his wife dies. Basically, it's "Dirty Harry Grows Old"; he keeps a loaded gun handy in his house, and carries a handgun with him in his pickup truck. If you're any kind of an Eastwood fan, it's great fun to watch -- and it comes with a poetic twist at the end that I, for one, did not quite see coming. Grade: A-
