Shawn Edwards of WDAF-TV4



Shawn Edwards is the "movie reviewer" for Fox-4.


I've never met Shawn- he wasn't there when I worked for them and I have seen him maybe a few times while surfing through the channels TRYING to find something intelligent to watch.

But Mr. Edward's review of Clint Eastwood's latest film "Gran Torino" is as off-base as they come.

According to bottomlinecom.com a local media Web site- Edwards gave that most-excellent Eastwood movie a 0- based on a scale of 0 to 5 with the highest number being the best.

A zero? Edwards claims it's "because he didn't care for the racial stereotypes portrayed" in the film- according to the bottomlinecom article.

Like any art form- one man's trash is another man's treasure.

I'm just glad Edwards didn't critique the Mona Lisa....
