Okay I love to go to the movies. In fact, the way to tell if I really like a movie is to count the number of times I see it in the theater. If I see it once it's either lame as shit or just okay. If I like it I go back at least once. I saw The Town, co-written, directed, and starring Ben Affleck and I give it two hard nippled enthusiastic thumbs up. Now I think we can all agree that Ben has made his share of crap ass movies, haven't a lot of those Hollywood folks, but this movie is worth owning when it hits DVD. I saw it this last weekend with my husband and his parents and returned last night with my sister and a buddy. Yes, it is that good. I am, as those of you who read my blog regularly, madly in love with my husband, but I have to say that, after seeing this movie, I am adding his Brooklyn accented, blue collared ass to my laminated "Can Do Hollywood List".
The movie is about, not giving anything away that isn't on the previews, a group of four friends that rob banks together and the chemistry and nuances of their daily lives. The cast ensemble is just so perfectly matched, and I'd be willing to bet that the upcoming award season is going to love this movie. The actors are solid, the directing is fantastic and the screenplay was so well written that it keeps you thinking about it even after it's over. I haven't seen a movie this good in so long that I can't even begin to compare it to anything within the year.
Go see this movie. Oh, and for those men out there...Blake Lively with her long blond hair and 15 foot long legs is in it and looks smoking hot just for you.
