We are going to see Gran Torino tonight. I can't wait! Written by Minnesota native Nick Schenk and one of the 17 year old actors Thao (Bee Vang) is from Robbinsdale-Armstrong High School with no stage experience. Bee won the part at a May casting call at a Hmong community center. I know the high school well. My brother and sister went to Armstrong so that's kind of cool. I don't like that the movie's original setting was Minneapolis, but shifted to Detroit when Michigan offered Warner Bros. a 42 percent production rebate. But what can you do?
Are any of you going to go see this movie? Let us know what you think.
Have a super Friday!

SEE! I learn so much from you! I had no idea this movie had MN ties! I wanted to see it before but now can't wait!! Thanks!!
OH - skip on over to my blog to pick up the award I just gave you!!
Happy New Year!
I am really looking forward to this movie!
I need a full review of this puppie. I want to see it for two reasons:
1. Love Dirty Harry
2. My mom had a brown Gran Torino when I was a kid growing up. I wonder if the car is in the movie??
Is the Gran Torino red with a big white swoosh up the side? Wrong movie. And don't be too upset with Michigan stealing your movie, at least it's still in the States. You'd be surprised how many we steal from you.
You're gonna love it.
It's fun to see local boys make it big:-)
I want to see that SO BAD!

Happy Saturday girlie!!
Eastwood rocks, but I'll most likely wait for the dvd... 'cause I'm a cheap bastid.

Hope you enjoyed the movie. I rented the Bucket List and Juno this weekend. Juno has MN. ties too. It is a funny little movie. I left something for both of you on my blog. Have a good week.
