I just saw the movie Gran Torino earlier tonight. It's not about games at all, but it was the best movie I've seen in recent history. It's Clint Eastwood as a crotchety, racist old veteran. The acting was solid for the most part (except for a couple parts when one of the actors forced emotions not there). It was crude, hilarious, and one of those "thinker movies that gets 5 stars." Usually this means it was depressing. And it still has that, but not as gutwrenching or lasting because of all the subtle humor and great Eastwoodisms (my new favorite one-liner includes an infix and word of praise).As Will Ferrell as James Lipton from Inside the Actor's Studio might say, "It's a delight."
