Yeah, it's been on Foxtel the last few days on Showcase. It's one of the best films of the last five or ten years - yes, that's my opinion but it also happens to be true, which gives it that extra power.
I had this recommended to me yesterday as well. Will have to watch.
I reckon Where Eagles Dare is the most faithful adaption ever

No, it was directed by Marcus Nispel, a former music video director who worked with Cher, George Michael, Billy Joel and Amy Grant, among others.
And it can't be too faithful a remake of the original if the killer is Jason.

It will be shit.
Finally saw The Dark Knight last night. That was awesome too. Ledger was a genius.

Heath was the true star of the film.
he played the Joker to perfection, all the little mannerisms and quirks but not taking them overboard like others have in the past.

basically Eastwood plays a widower who still strongly believes in the American dream and ideal and his kids are trying to get him into a nursing home.
He is also a bit of an old racist and this is brought to the fore when a Vietnamese family move in next door (a long line of immigrants "taking over" his neighbourhood) and their son gets involved with a gang who want to steal Eastwood's car, the eponymous Gran Torino. When he is caught by Eastwood, he has to work off the damage done and that leads into the core of the film.
supposedly it avoids the whole feel good everyone is people mentality and instead heavily focuses on character and how people become as they are.
from what I've seen of it, Eastwood is in top form as both actor and director.

The Magnificent Seven is one of the few examples of how to remake a classic film. If you're going to tell the same friggin' story then at least do it in a different way.

watched a Chinese film called Ip Man last night.
an embellished bio-pic about the guy who taught Bruce Lee before he escaped to Hong Kong.
Set in Fousang province during the 1930's, when Japan was slowly eating away at the country after their post revolution civil war, it's the story of the famous Wingchunquan (Wing Chun) master and his personal struggle to be humble, support his family and empower his fellow Chinese against Japanese tyranny.
So, it may play out to some like a less fancy (Jet Li's) Fearless but think it is a great film which underplays a lot but still has a lot of faults of it's own due to realism and historical accuracy.
still, if you like Chinese films, I do recommend it.

Ledger was awesome in The Dark Knight, and it was a great film, but I enjoyed Batman Begins more. Nicholson's joker has always been one of my favourite performances though, and I still love it.
