Gran Torino
Although people are talking about Clint Eastwood’s Changeling right at the moment, Oscar betters are putting money down on his December Gran Torino as the requisite Eastwood entry in the Best Picture race. He once again stars in his own film as a grumpy, tough-minded, unhappy widower, whose prize possession is a 1973 Gran Torino. When a neighborhood Korean teenager tries to steal it, he sets out to reform him -- and inadvertently gets caught up in the boy’s turbulent life.
