Gran Torino & Stranger in a Strange Land

So, I didn't actually know Gran Tarino was a car. I had decided it was a neighborhood in L.A.

It's not. The movie takes place in Detroit. It is both good and bad. If they would have cut out 1 scene with the preist and the cops at the gangbangers house I would feel much warmer about this movie.

Stranger. Strange. Only inertia kept me reading once we entered the scientology - orgy like church stuff. The first third was really fascinating; but the major focus on sex was a huge intellectual turn off.
