I hate to say it but Clint Eastwood should retire. I would have wanted to applaud him for being an actor/director at age 91, but in Cry Macho he is playing the role of a character obviously written for a thirty-forty years younger actor. It is just uncomfortable to see Eastwood walk with his old man shuffle, embarrassing to see a beautiful woman throw herself at this stiff, almost mummified nonagenarian and silly to see him pretend to one punch knock out a muscled guy in his thirties. When Eastwood gets on his knees to look under a car, I feared he wouldn't be able to get up. It doesn't help that the kid actor looks too old for his role as a 13 year old and his acting is awkward. The movie lacks tension and drive.
Easily one of Eastwood's weakest directorial efforts. Not recommended.
My recommendation: make the progress screen (with the IMDB tab first) the start page for iCheckMovies. It's still the best starting point to get to know the site.
Yikes. Getting a brand new iCheckMovies 2.0 today felt like a belated Christmas present, but the update is not the pleasant surprise I was expecting. It looks more complicated, it feels cumbersome, features don't work and I certainly don't like how the site makes free users feel unwelcome by putting up huge pay banners for something simple as checking a film.
This is not the right way to make your site friendly and popular.
I wish there was a way to get rid of all those Indian and Turkish movies that are polluting the IMDB-lists. They're completely useless for a western audience and they make it impossible to complete some categories.

One of my favorite screwball comedies. I'd rate it right at the top, next to My Man Godfrey.Toplist comment on IMDb's Musical Top 50

*Very* enjoyable action movie. Liked it a lot more than I'd expected to.
