ION to Feature Clint Eastwood-Themed Weekend

WEST PALM BEACH: ION Television Network has slated a Feastwood film event, featuring movies that star Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood, for the weekend of November 26. 

ION Television’s themed programming event kicks off with Pale Rider (1985), where Eastwood is a mysterious preacher who comes to a gold mining camp to save the miners from a ruthless landowner who wants their land. The movie will air November 27 at 6:30 p.m. Magnum Force (1973), which features Eastwood as Dirty Harry on the trail of vigilante cops, follows on November 28 at 3:30 p.m. 

Next on the roster is The Rookie (1990), when Eastwood teams up with Charlie Sheen as they play a mismatched veteran cop-rookie cop duo. The film will air November 28 at 8:30 p.m. That Sunday will feature two Eastwood films. In The Enforcer (1976), Eastwood reprises his role as Dirty Harry and now he must foil a terrorist organization made up of disgruntled Vietnam veterans. The film is slated for 3:30 p.m. and will be followed by The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) at 8 p.m. In the film, Eastwood is a Missouri farmer who joins a Confederate guerilla unit and winds up on the run from the Union soldiers who murdered his family. 

"Thanksgiving weekend for most is packed with meals and activities, so this year ION Television is packed with Feastwood," said Leslie Chesloff, the executive VP of programming for ION Media Networks. "While Clint supplies the non-stop action on screen, all viewers have to do is kick back and be ‘positively entertained’."
