Gone Baby Gone


The second movie of the night. A good workmanlike crime thriller. It actually is made better by some of the un-commercial turns the script takes. You can also tell this is made by someone who knows the Boston area. Ben Affleck populates this film with naturalistic extras and shoots in areas it is obvious he feels at home in.

To be honest, I don't even know if I can review this film correctly. I had to go down to the concession stand twice to let the cashier know that the projector had gone out of focus. The first time I told her this she asked what I meant. I told her the picture was soft and she was still confused. The word blurry finally seemed to make sense to her.

I also sat only one row in front of four of the noisiest women I have ever encountered in a movie theater. They only stopped talking at the when the little animation came up that said "Silence is golden." This was short lived though when one of them realized they had missed the message.

Lady 1: Wait, what did that say?

Lady 2: It said silence is golden.

Lady 1: I guess I'll be quiet then...unless I got something to say.

Laughter, then the conversation continued.
