I never realized just how good a director he is...he's almost on Spielberg's level, looking at that list...
...almost.
I think he far surpasses Spielberg, in that his direction is much more transparent. Clint's a national treasure, and I can't wait to watch anything he's associated with.

Have you watched Changeling yet? Angelina Jolie is even impressive in it.

Came out last week. I think it's even on "On Demand" already too.

I've been thinking of giving that film a miss. I'm not much of an Angelina Jolie fan.....

I'm not either, but I haven't seen a bad Eastwood-directed film yet....

Yea, she made me pause too, that's why I pointed out, she's actually not annoying in the part, surprisingly enough.

I loved Changeling but, then aside from enjoying Clint Eastwood's Directing, I'm also a J. Michael Straczinsky junkie, so I may be biased. I also love 1920s period dramas, and the look was extremely well done.
