To my Conservative Friends:

I have been receiving emails and phone calls over the past week from my Conservative and liberal friends alike saying to me - "Mike - You gotta see Gran Torino!!"

So, in the middle of the snow storm on Saturday night, I trekked out to see the film I had heard so much about...

The film is about a man named Walt Kowalski, a 70-something, cranky Korean War Vet who lives in a mid-west neighborhood that has been steadily changing to a Black/Asian community. Walt, living alone now after his wife's death, is one of the last "white guys" in the community and is an extremely old-school guy with a very, very non-Politically-Correct attitude and he doesn't give a shi- who knows about it.. In fact, I don't think Walt ever heard of the term "politically correct".

“Falling Down” was retarded attempt to characturize middle class white professional males as ticking time bombs. It was, well, retarded.

It is on my “must see” list.

Here is one that you Netflix subscribers need to put in your queue right away

Sophie Scholl: The Final Days

Sophie Scholl a young German girl was executed by guillotine by the Third Reich. She was found guilty of distributing anti-Nazi leaflets at her college campus and for this she was beheaded along with several of the other brave God-fearing people of the “White Rose”, an underground Nazi resistance movement. This is a dramatization of that event, it is a movie that will not leave you and will have you thinking about it for days after viewing. I highly recommend this film. I found myself drawn into this movie like few other movies will do. This is brilliant stuff. The tension becomes almost unbearable. The depiction of Freisler (The judge), which might seem over the top, but is quite consistent with accounts and actual film clips of the trial, maybe even understated. He was diabolical, tyrannical and very hot tempered.
After reading many rave reviews from regular people, I ordered this 2005 movie over the Holidays from Netflix. It was sooooo good, I just had to purchas a copy
