I believe Eastwood will act again, but maybe not in a similar role. I dont think the big tough guy will be around much anymore. However, a softer role may be in his future. Stay tuned.
X's and o's: Ever see Road to Perdition with Tom Hanks and Paul Newman? Newman, along with Gene Hackman and Jack Nicholson, are my favorite three actors. Road to Perdition is an excellent film. Jude Law is excellent in this movie as well.
The Shootist is probably my favorite Wayne movie and yes, it did parallel his life and that may have been what is/was so special about it. I could go on and on about Wayne flicks. No I haven't seen Road to Perdition, may have to catch that one.
