Why on earth would *anybody* pass up a Clint Eastwood movie?

Why on earth would *anybody* pass up a Clint Eastwood movie?

My sister is 9 years old. Still, there's no excuse for my mom...

I'm going to suggest Slumdog Millionaire, which is basically Oliver Twist in India. Sure, it's rated R, but that aspect's no worse (probably better) than anything from James Bond. Quite an enjoyable movie. It's half-subtitled, and half in English, in case you're one of those people*.

*I once had 2 counter-guys ask me at Blockbusters whether I really wanted to rent Pan's Labyrinth, since it was in Spanish, not withstanding the fact that English is only a second language for both my parents. I was tempted to act surprised by the fact that it wasn't in Turkish, but that's a whole other story.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll mention it to my family.

 

Slumdog Millionaire is supposed to be a fantastic film. I haven't seen it yet, but I would like to.

 

Curious Case of Benjamin Button was good, but probably too slow for a 9 year old.

What about Valkyrie? That was a good movie, IMO.

Didn't really feel like Tom Cruise.

 

Oh, BTW, we ended up seeing Bolt () but my dad and I are going to go and see Slumdog or Gran Torino over the weekend.
