Clint Eastwood Gran Torino

Clint Eastwood’s storied film career seems like it has no more room left for fresh highlights.

Think again.

The actor’s late 2008 film “Gran Torino” is the number one worldwide Video on Demand (VOD) title of 2009.

That’s right.  A 78-year-old action star beat out every young punk in the business this year.

What’s more amazing is that Eastwood’s other 2008 drama, “Changeling,” got far more buzz, acclaim and Oscar attention last year. That Angelina Jolie vehicle proved his weakest directorial effort since “A Perfect World.”

Yes, that Kevin Costner flick has its admirers. Watch it again and tell me you didn’t cringe early and often.
