Catching up on Oscar fare- Gone Baby Gone Edition.


How did I miss this in theatres? How did we all miss it? With not much promo, star power or faith in its director, I can see why....but I am so happy I caught it. At first it seems typical but becomes nothing of the sort. Casey Affleck and Michelle Monahan(sp?) star as two detectives on a case for a missing girl whose mother is a complete crackwhore. But she is played brilliantly by oscar-nominated Amy Ryan- I had to see what the fuss was all about! Her screentime is minimal though but she really does shine as in your not sure whether to love or loathe her. I don't wanna give much else away from the plot but the ending will leave you stuck in a catch-22 of sorts..not knowing exactly how you wish it would have resolved. Check it out. Casey Affleck is a better actor this bro for sure, he kicked ass! But Ben behind the camera, whew! That is another story, he rocked.

Next up: Michael Clayton
