    A Dollop of Clint Eastwood: Subjective Scores for 10 Random Movies By Gary Heartsill May 1, 2021 1 The Mule (2018) Clint Eastwood acted, directed, and produced. (1:56:23) With Bradley Cooper, Laurence Fishburne, Michael Pena, Dianne Wiest, Andy Garcia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc5AWImplfE Score 9.2 Don't let the old man in, I wanna leave this alone1 Can't leave it up to him, he's knocking on my door And I knew all of my life, that someday it would end Get up and go outside, don't let the old man in Saw in the credits the name Jan Hartsell, who was the ‘Beauty School Admin’ and Iris was played by Alison Eastwood – for what that is worth. The Dykes on Bikes comment was great. This movie is done well, meaning it is enjoyable to watch especially with the apprehension of what is going to happen next. Course, the whole theme is in Toby’s song and I have heard Clint remark to someone when he was asked what the movie was about he said “Don’t let the old man in.” He finally figured out he would have to pay the price for doing all his driving. Am kinda glad we didn’t see too much of the bad guys doing what they do to folks who don’t deliver. And deliver he did. Everyone will have gone down the road with him singing his songs and celebrating when he opened the glove to get his keys and manilla envelope. For some it will be easy to see what this ole Mule really was doing.

    AIAC – A Look Into Planetary Death Places - III ©Ancient Indian Astrology Classes Page 1 AIAC – A Look Into Planetary Death Places - III Case Studies Mars in the 7 th . House – The karaka of the 7H is Venus and the house signifies marriage and partnership. The natural seventh sign is Libra which deals with equality (in marriage) and balance. Mars is the karaka of the 6H of celibacy and service. In the 7H, it will bring in ego and battles. War is fine with enemies but not in marriage. Adjustment is the key to a successful marriage and ego has no place in this house. Mars is the planet of individuality, the primary significator of Agni Tattwa. Mars being in 7H, the person’s adjustment capabilities will surely be questioned. The ripples of such a placement of Mars will be felt in the houses whose karaka is Mars – 3H, 6H. One has to carefully note a few points before he/she reaches any conclusion on planetary death places. The points are mentioned below – 1) Shadbala of planets 2) Association of benefics, malefic, lagna lord, Moon and Sun 3) Aspects – malefic aspects only will create havoc, if unaspected or benefic(s) aspect then there will be no/negligible damage to the karakwatta of the planet Mars in 7H Cases Case I – Clint Eastwood In case of Clint Eastwood, Mars is placed in maranasthana in mooltrikona sign of Aries with Rahu. The karaka of 7H Venus is with Jupiter in the 9H. Relationship problems related to adjustment issues will surface in his life and there will invariably be separation from spouse, if married.

  • Production Notes
    During his lifetime, J. Edgar Hoover would rise to be the most powerful man in America. As head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for nearly 50 years, he would stop at nothing to protect his country. Through eight presidents and three wars, Hoover waged battle against threats both real and perceived, often bending the rules to keep his countrymen safe. His methods were at once ruthless and heroic, with the admiration of the world his most coveted, if ever elusive, prize. Hoover was a man who placed great value on secrets—particularly those of others—and was not afraid to use that information to exert authority over the leading figures in the nation. Understanding that knowledge is power and fear poses opportunity, he used both to gain unprecedented influence and to build a reputation that was both formidable and untouchable. He was as guarded in his private life as he was in his public one, allowing only a small and protective inner circle into his confidence. His closest colleague, Clyde Tolson, was also his constant companion. His secretary, Helen Gandy, who was perhaps most privy to Hoover’s designs, remained loyal to the end…and beyond. Only Hoover’s mother, who served as his inspiration and his conscience, would leave him, her passing truly crushing to the son who forever sought her love and approval. As seen through the eyes of Hoover himself, “J. Edgar” explores the personal and public life and relationships of a man who could distort the truth as easily as he upheld it during a life devoted to his own idea of justice, often swayed by the darker side of power.

Med sextionio filmer1 och femtiofem år i branschen så är Clint Eastwood fortfarande ett namn som drar folk och han har inte blivit sämre med åren utan snarare bättre, som ett gott rött vin som smakar desto bättre ju längre tiden går. Att kartlägga en regissörs liv och arbete är svårt då det hela tiden finns motsägande uppgifter runtomkring personen i fråga. Det har inte varit en helt rak väg fram tills idag, men det är de som gör honom så fascinerande. Eastwood var 41 år gammal när han regisserade sin första film och under åren som har gått har han hunnit regisserat trettiofyra stycken.2 Med tre filmer som har dragit in över hundra miljoner 3, Unforgiven(De skoningslösa, 1992), Million Dollar Baby(2004) och Gran Torino(2008) och ett antal Oscars nomineringar senare, förstår man varför Eastwood är en fantastisk regissör och skådespelare. Clint Eastwood säger ”You have to trust your instincts. There's a moment when an actor has it, and he knows it.

Sinopsis: (From here to the end, Spoilers) ‘Million Dollar Baby’ narra la historia de Frankie Dunn y Maggie Fitzgerald, el primero dueño de un gimnasio de mala muerte y que conoció tiempos mejores, al que acude la segunda persiguiendo un sueño: ser alguien en la vida boxeando. Esa línea podría resumir tranquilamente el esqueleto de la trama, en apariencia sencilla. Cualquiera podría esperarse una película más sobre boxeo, en la línea de los míticos títulos de la historia del cine y que no hace falta citar aquí. Pero Eastwood y Haggis van mucho más allá y utilizan el deporte como excusa para hablar de cosas mucho más profundas y que nos tocan más de cerca, sin obviar ni dejar de lado, y de forma muy inteligente, las razones por las cuales los personajes aman tanto el boxeo.
