Chickadee, you are so right about him. I think he's one of the best out there and love your description. I haven't seen Grand Torino but I will. I don't think I've ever NOT seen a movie he had anything to do with.
Okay, my opinion of the movie- Hereafter- disappointed . My hubby and I both came out of the movie feeling that it never got off the ground after the first scene, which was a cinematic masterpiece.
I didn't hate it, but I really didn't like it either.
There are so many movies that I wouldn't pay to see and I thought this one was the exception but in my case it wasn't.
I love going to the movies and hardly ever do b/c I never see any previews that look good to me.
But hubby and I had a nice evening out together :)
PS. Who's Helen?????
