I can’t believe I forgot to include The Town in my recent batch of airplane movie reviews! The omission had everything to do with jet lag and nothing to do with the quality of this film. Despite the positive reviews I heard from friends, I had a hard time believing that a movie directed by, co-written by, and starring Ben Affleck could be any good. Don’t get me wrong, I loved him in numerous Kevin Smith movies and in Good Will Hunting, but most of his other movies sucked (or he sucked in them). The Town is shockingly good.
The movie is a nice mix of drama, action, and Boston accents. It’s completely believable that a small section of Boston (Charlestown) has produced numerous bank robbers because…well, that’s what I think Red Sox fans are like (I’m kidding). The Town is a suspenseful and enjoyable crime drama. The writing is sharp and Ben Affleck is actually charming in the movie.
Hmmm, perhaps Affleck is only good when his lines are written by Kevin Smith or when he uses a Boston accent.
Yeah, I liked this movie alot too.
I'll put it in the share folder next unless anyone has a primal need to see King's Speech or Winter's Bone.
@n8
king's speech for me. ty if you're the one that added 127 hours.
if anyone wants to see the green hornet i can add that one.
No Cams please. R5 at least. When the sound sync is off, that bugs the hell out of me.
Yeah, I threw in 127 Hours… that movie made me hungry.
King's speech is in there.

@Ray
I thought this looked good, but Ben Affleck caused me to have doubts. Your comment about the Boston accent only made me think of Family Guy's interpretation about him…lol
All I hear is crickets.
