The Town (2010)

What's going on with this movie?

[10/10 · 10 February 2012]

I happen to love action movies, so lets be HONEST 10 out of 10 "The Town" as far as action is concerned..For Myself (currently leading a quiet life, lots of meditation and contemplation) it takes a certain criteria to keep me interested. One is dialogue, what goes on in peoples lives and their perspectives show if they are an in DEPTH person or NOT and trying to achieve growth or not. . The Town has all these numerous personality conflicts that is what is needed to achieve growth. I am not sure if this is known to Ben Afflect or not..he just may be acting out what his soul calling is, for HIM TO TEACH HUMANKIND!.... and then it is manifesting. That is a statement that will confuse most of us...Most of us still question this because we have not looked for conscious methods of having the LUXURY of knowing what is TRUE in our lives and what is our souls calling...so we justify instead...we worry as well..and become satisfied with that...We seek the superficial, things OUTSIDE of ourselves rather than within. We learn by pain...but we could do better. Ben is displaying and showing and teaching what is is to go against the GRAIN. You get killed your friends get killed you give up any love and are left alone...If there is a lesson....BUT lets get this straight...not just one lesson..the lesson is this....If you try to DEVELOP YOUR OWN WILLFUL PLAN...using your WILL..you will fail ...Why...because you did not think the universe is interactive with you, if you leave that out , your plan will fail.. GREAT MOVIE...perfect EXAMPLE on what not to do...The universe supplies us with these examples....do we listen?

I love the part where the detective is saying to Ben .."You know we lifted a fingerprint off the van ..RIGHT?" or in other words by asking that question he is revealing that it's BOGUS!

Great dialogue in this movie....lets see a "The Town 2"

Just How Bad Can a Movie Be!

[1/10 · 10 February 2012]

You know when when you are watching a movie and you keep watching because you can't believe its that bad. That's is the feeling I had throughout this move. You would expect the build up of the driving and chase scenes to lead to what you would expect, great chase and stunt scenarios. There are none. And I do enjoy a good dialogue movie when it is about personalities and conflicts being opinionated an mentally stimulating. But that isn't here either. What about scenery? Don't wait for any because there is none. So what does this movie have? A lot of HYPE! That's all. They must have paid people for the reviews it received that were positive. I'm serious when I say thumbs down, don't waste your time.

Some Pretty Faces can act!

[30 July 2011]

There are a lot of very pretty faces out there that cannot act at all. It has been a while since I have seen Jennifer in anything. I was really glad to see that she can act a lot better that some of the other bigger box office cuties out there. The acting ability of some of those other hotties is insulting. I found this movie interesting in that Jennifer portrayed a girl who in desperation tried to do something to rescue her and her families situation without realizing the outcomes. Very human situation and she showed real sensitive emotions right from the beginning, wanting to run the other way being turned off by the whole idea and then being consumed buy desperation and greed as is a major story of what is really going on in this country. She played the part very well, so much so that I wanted to take time out and write this review. This is not easy subject matter and lots of people will be reviewing it personally rather than subjectively. The flick is not perfect, but think about how it would have been without Jennifer? She made the movie, and it really grabbed my attention with all the real emotion in the situation between her and her husband and having to try and start over in life. This is a typical real life story with a bit sticky subject matter. But Jennifer did a great acting job with it. For what it was it was well done!
