Recommended score: 9/10 (specifically 93%)Eastwood's magic, probably one of his best films and one of the most touching movies and a powerful masterpiece of the sports genre. The story revolves around a boxing trainer who takes a young tough girl under his wing and turns her into a great fighter. Clint Eastwood, did so good at making us feel and cheer for the main character and expect her too win and she doesn't and instead she breakers her spine it was shocking. I don't think that anyone saw it coming. This is why Clint's my favourite director, hes amazing at what he does. Anyway, if you haven't seen the movies watch it, its a great sports drama movie that can be enjoyed by anyone.

There are NO words to express how wonderfully written, directed and acting this movie portrays. Growing up, I never appreciated Clint in his craft. At 90 year's old and still masterfully continuing to direct, act AND produce, is just magnificent. I am thankful to finally enjoy and appreciate his work. He is forever a favorite and I pray we get to enjoy more from him in the year's to come.

BRA-VO, Mr Eastwood!👏It is such a heartfelt and touching experience watching, as I grew up in a neighborhood very much like this in the 60s and 70s (we were a very blended area).

Gran Torino and all those involved with its production portrayed that people can come together no matter race, religion, ethnicity, social status or heritage, based on the enlightenment the lead character growing beyond his initial racism to a man of honor who sacrificed himself, knowing he would be dying soon, for the safety and fulfillment of others' futures.

Great film which is no holds barred and what a location , Edinburgh. Drug addiction shown both literally and metaphorically, Trainspotting is one entertaining ride that does not shy away from showing things that are generally not expected to be seen in a film. For the era the film was made, the cinematography was unreal. The whole film is a experience only one can feel if one knows what ones is going through. A peice of art. Deep and honest film, but hard to 'get' the chain of events for anyone with little knowledge of, or desire to dig into, the complexities of drug addiction. Artistic and dark in many clever ways, fast-paced and solid script, but really just a relentless depiction of people at their worst, and I see enough of that in real life.

Prepare to feel worse about human nature or watch a Julia Roberts film instead. One will stay with you forever in all the wrong ways. The other won't change your life, but at least you won't want to pull your own eyes out afterwards.

SPIDER-MAN is a stupendous masterpiece of the superhero cinema. It blends action, adventure, humour, emotions, thrills and science fiction in a perfect way. Tobey Maguire's whole-hearted portrayal of SPIDER-MAN is flawless. I remember watching this movie as a very young child and loved every bit of it. Just few weeks ago, I re-watched the film in high quality to recall the old good memories of the film as well to enjoy it in the best picture quality. I felt more enthralled and intrigued than earlier.

Each and every actor in this film has given an explosive performance. Tobey is undoubtedly very relatable as Peter Parker, with whom you won't mind sharing his tears. The way the film's mood turns to a very intense one towards the end, his act intensifies. You see him breathe the roles of Peter and Spidey. Willem Dafoe plays an easily menacing antagonist whose actions make him very entertaining. Kirsten Dunst leaves a strong impression as Mary Jane, while James Franco too impresses with his cool performance. Rosemary Harris portrays Aunt May very well, while it's Cliff Robertson, whose portrayal of Ben Parker is very emotional and instantly makes you care and cry for him. And J. K. Simmons: do I need to say how great both his acting and comic timing are?

What ever Life Holds is store for me, i will Never Forget These words."With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility, This is My Gift, My Curse, Who am I? I'm Spider-man.
