I have a copy of Milk I've never watched and think I will sit down with it this weekend. Lately, Ive been checking a lot of PBS things from the library and watching everything from Mary Pickford to JFK's presidency. I love biography/A&E/American Masters and likeminded productions.

I purchased this movie today on a whim (it was also on sale).. normally, I do not purchase a movie until I have watched it and feel I will want to watch it again. I have read about the storyline.. so it seems interesting enough. I more than likely watch it tomorrow and will stop back and let everyone know what I think.

I scrolled back a bit and tried to see if anyone else has seen it and posted their thoughts. I did not find anything (although it is late, and I could have that eyes glazed over insomnia look).

Has anyone else seen it? your thoughts? Thank you in advance.

I have watched Gran Turino. I liked it a lot. I watched it for two reasons. First, I like Clint Eastwood as a director and actor. Second, this movie was filmed in Michigan. Some have thought the storyline is indicative of Detroit, and it's really not.

I have also watched it and really enjoyed it. But I am a huge Clint Eastwood fan, post gunslinger phase. I also found it an interesting aside that it was filmed in Michigan, as I live here.

I watched "I Love You, Phillip Morris" last night. Loved it.

I wasn't crazy about the new Harry Potter. It fell short.

I recently watched Rabbit Hole with Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart and while it was sad and hard to watch it was also very good.

Just got this from Netflix...looking forward to it.

I initially resisted watching it because from the trailers it seemed racist. But I was coaxed into it and told it wasn't really anti-Hmong. It being a Clint Eastwood product, I found the race issue treated with due sensitivity. Like most of his movies (even the westerns) it was really a love story -- love of humankind. I liked it. I own it now too, though I don't watch it unless I can pay full attention. There are always new subtle nuances that I didn't pick up before, it's always deeper and more interesting every time.
