Casey Affleck and Michelle Monaghan play private detectives hired to aid the search for a missing girl. The more they investigate, the more crazy shit happens. Twists galore!
Ben Affleck wrote and directed this movie based on a novel by the same guy that wrote "Mystic River". If you liked "Mystic River", you will probably like this one. I don't remember if I liked "Mystic River" or not. It didn't really stick with me. This one didn't really stick with me either. It's definitely worth a rental or a Netflixing. Casey Affleck's performance is almost as good as his portrayal of Bob Ford in TAOJJBTCRF, but that movie was way cooler. This one is pretty clever, and it raises some crazy questions ("You'll be talking about it for days" the poster promises) but I don't want to ruin anything. The movie also had a pretty authentic feel. I think they used a lot of locals/ugly people.
6.99/10.00
I forgot we could review TV shows on DVD.
The Office (Seasons 1 and 2)
Cameras follow the adventures of a Pennsylvania paper company, led by Michael Scott (Steve Carell) who thinks he is the funniest, coolest, greatest boss ever. And he isn't. He is accompanied by Dwight Schrute, who loves martial arts, beets, and Battlestar Galactica, and Jim Halpert, who plays pranks on Dwight such as relocating his entire desk into the men's room.
The six episode first season starts off kind of slow and borrows a few episode ideas from the British original but it is still better then any sitcom on TV today, and the best since Arrested Development.
And if it didn't get any better I would still prefer it to the original. But the second season is pure gold. The deleted scenes on the DVD are better then any sitcom on TV today. Their is a lot more character and story development in the second season that neither the first season, nor the original show ever got around to doing. Every episode is hilarious. Just watch it if you haven't. Don't argue with me about the original version either. U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!
Season 1: 9/10
Season 2: 10/10
Friday Night Lights Season 1.
TV show based on the movie based on the book based on true story about high school football team in Texas.
If you liked the movie you'll probably like the show even more. If you liked Varsity Blues, but thought it was too well acted, and the cinematography and soundtrack were too awesome, then you might not like it. And if you don't think you'll like a show about a Texas high school football team, then you should still check it out.
It's more about the community and people and their lives and blah blah blah, but seriously it is really good. Especially when we finally get to see hardcore Christian band "Crucifictorious" play. Season two is going on right now, and is not as good. Less Crucifictorious and more rapist killing.
9/10
14/150. Do seasons count as one movie?
