I decided to add a new feature to the blog. As most of you know, I could not live without Netflix. We watch at least one DVD every weekend. In this feature, I plan to briefly review a new movie in theaters (or recently released DVD) and give it a thumbs up or down!
This week, the featured flick is The Town, a fast-paced crime drama based in Boston. It stars actor/director Ben Affleck, Jeremy Renner (remember he allegedly dated Jessica Simpson his performance from the Oscar winning Hurt Locker?), and Blake Lively of Gossip Girl fame. After seeing numerous previews this summer, I was convinced this was a "must see" theater movie. Jim and I went to the Crossgates Imax two weekends ago and my heart was pounding almost the entire time. It's sort of a combination of The Departed and Heat, with a little forbidden romance thrown in for good measure! I've never been a big Affleck fan, but this flick truly stands out. I highly recommend it...we may even buy the DVD!
On that note, do you have a Blu-Ray? Is it worth the hype and extra cost?
