Woody's Movie Review 34

OK here we go;

First we have "Gran Torino" starring Clint Eastwood. Eastwood plays a man who has just lost his wife and now lives alone in a neighborhood with drastically changing and different demographics. He befriends and helps a young Hmong boy and eventually changes that neighborhood. He is gruff and set in his ways there is good bit of language and racial slurs, but it is an excellent movie. 5 penguins.

Next is "Rollercoaster". In this movie a man looking for big money ($1 million) starts terrorizing theme parks across the country. California, Pittsburgh and Busch Gardens in Virginia. He toys with the police dept. to get what he wants and eventually really gets it. 3 penguins.

Then there was "JCVD" starring (follow the acronym) Jean-Claude Van Damme yes the Mussels from Brussels is back. This time he stretches by playing himself. As a down and out actor he gets caught up in a robbery; and people aren't sure if he is in on it or not. Can he save the day, is he robbing the post office can this jump start his career. Time will tell, 3 penguins.

Last we have "Wait Until Dark" starring Audrey Hepburn and Alan Arkin. Hepburn plays a woman that recently lost her sight in a car accident. Her husband returns from a trip to Canada with a doll given to him by a strange woman. Inside the doll; heroin. I blame the free health care system in Canada. Anyway three men show up to con this blind woman and get their drugs. It is really good and Hepburn does a great job. 5 Penguins
