Of his last handful, I've only seen J. Edgar (which was not good at all), and his others have taken a beating. It seems his legacy would be best suited if he would stop directing movies.

Clint has made some fantastic movies as director like Unforgiven, Gran Torino and Letters from Iwo Jima but also junk like Blood Work and The Rookie.

I'd venture to say that million dollar baby was good but one that I will never watch again because of how depressing it was.

I think Posnanski makes a point or two in there.

The Clint character should have died with Gran Torino.

i was on some random channel on roku and stumbled upon "a."

started watching it, and man, the houses looked like south city houses. so i googled it just to see where else those houses might be located...turned out it was shot in south city, webster/kirkwood.

it was pretty funny. the premise, people who wanted to go to AA meetings but weren't alcoholics.
