Shooting Down Pictures

WARNING – possible spoilers contained within video.

Some time ago I had the pleasure of sitting among some of my respected colleagues to discuss the films of Clint Eastwood, who had another remarkable year in 2008 with the release of both Changeling and Gran Torino.  The round table was hosted by Evan Davis of Film Comment and included:

• Ed Gonzalez, Film editor, Slant Magazine
• Akiva Gottlieb, Contributor, The Nation & Slant
• Kent Jones, Editor-at-large, Film Comment
• Karina Longworth, Editor, SpoutBlog

I took choice segments of the commentary to produce three short videos on Clint Eastwood.
