'Sully': Ditching the plane to save lives
For a while I thought Harrison Ford should run for U.S. president, but now I'm convinced Tom Hanks is the one, with Clint Eastwood as secretary of state.

American Sniper: 'a refusal to deal with the complexity of war'
Just about every Iraq war movie to date has bombed at the box office, and there's a reason for that: Like the war itself, most of those movies were bummers. Even "The Hurt Locker," which did well at the Oscars, had a lukewarm reception at the box office. But along comes director Clint Eastwood with "American Sniper," which has become one of the top-grossing films of 2014 in the U.S., and one of the most lucrative war movies of all time. The reason? It's an old-school, John Wayne-style war movie of patriotism and righteous killing, and the American public has lapped it up.

Jersey Boys
Either Clint Eastwood had the flu or he wanted to distance himself from "Jersey Boys" as much as possible while still managing to direct it. Either way, it's impossible not to sense a certain coldness on the part of Eastwood here — you just don't feel love emanating from the frames in the manner of his previous films such as "Million Dollar Baby" or "Bird."
