I hate to ruin a good book by watching the movie adaptation. I am going to break with tradition and go see Clint Eastwood's Grand Torino. I hear it will be his last on screen performance.

I saw Secret Life of Bees, and if you've not seen it I highly recommend it. It's at the dollar movies. Dakota Fanning is a white teen growing up during the civil rights movement in South Carolina with her sorry father after her mom died. She runs away from home and ends up living with an independent family of black women who have a thriving honey business. I can't say more without giving away the plot but it is a fine film. I think Fakename said it won 2008 "People's Choice" Award for best film of the year. Very nice history of racism in film Nick.
