It's not brand new or anything, but I guess, in the grand scheme of things with the earth being billions of years old and what not, it's probably still pretty recent history... Shaun of the Dead!! God, How I love this movie!!!

It dragged for me in the middle, but redeemed itself at the end. When it clicked in my head what was happening when his brother gave her the phone, I felt like cheering!
On a warm September evening, college professor Ethan Learner, his wife Grace, and their daughter Emma are attending a recital. Their 10-year-old son Josh is playing cello - beautifully, as usual. His younger sister looks up to him, and his parents are proud of their son. On the way home, they all stop at a gas station on Reservation Road. There, in one terrible instant, he is taken from them forever. On a warm September evening, law associate Dwight Arno and his 11-year-old son Lucas are attending a baseball game. Their favorite team, the Red Sox, is playing - and, hopefully, heading for the World Series. Dwight cherishes his time spent with Lucas. Driving his son back to his ex-wife, Lucas' mother Ruth Wheldon, Dwight heads towards his fateful encounter at Reservation Road. The accident happens so fast that Lucas is all but unaware, while Ethan - the only witness - is all too aware, as a panicked Dwight speeds away. The police are called, and an investigation begins. Haunted by the tragedy, both fathers react in unexpected ways, as do Grace and Emma. As a reckoning looms, the two fathers are forced to make the hardest choices of their lives.
I just watched this about a month ago. I really liked it, and yes, it was VERY sad. I couldn't help but think about what a great actor Joaquin Phoenix is and WHAT in the hell is he doing now. WOW. Nonetheless, this was an intense movie and worth watching.
I also recently watched Jude, The Apartment, and Freedom Writers. All were amazing in their own right.
I want to see Gran Torino, because they filmed part of it at the corner where I live. I don't live in Detroit, but about 25 miles north in the country. I have no idea why they filmed part of it out here and want to see.
Thats the only reason why, and they may have cut that part, but I doubt it. They had lots of big semi's. a dog, they put up a fake pay phone, they used our sheriffs to keep the cars redirected away from that area. They did this at a little walk up hot dog place that has been closed down for years. Its right next to a cider mill and a small river.
I am going to wait 'til its on cable. I am not THAT interested to pay to see one scene.
