I watched The Town, and enjoyed it. Dumb move getting involved w/ the chick. Still,

My wife and I were both happy Affleck got away at the end. Is it wrong I like so many Anti-Heroes in TV and Movies?
Am I the only one?

I liked that too. The whole time I was pretty much assuming the other guys would die and he would like save a cop at the end and go to jail honorably or something. So I wouldn't classify it as a 'Hollywood ending', as I'd say most 'Hollywood endings' to grittier crime dramas like this show the downfall of the bad guys.
Watched about 80% of The Box. Things I didn't like: Cameron Diaz, the kid, the music, the CGI, the high-school-student style script full of inane plot twists, and the music again. I don't think I've ever noticed the music seeming out of place, over the top, or generally bad as I did watching this film. I have no idea why I kept watching. One of the least entertaining movies I've ever seen. People liked Donnie Darko because it had so many interesting characters. I didn't connect with a single person in the entirety of The Box. 1 star.

My wife and I really liked The Town, and I'm not sure if the expectations were too high but The Fighter was good but nothing that great.

Watched Green Street Hooligans last night. I had never heard of it or anyone in it (except Frodo) but it was a good flick.

There's a ton of "that guys" in that movie, including a bunch of dudes from Band of Brothers and Jax from Sons of Anarchy.

Watched Hard Candy last night.

Yeesh.

There was a point in the movie when I couldn't remember the last time i was so relieved.

Anyone who has seen this movie knows what I'm talking about.

I'm a good 34 years late to the party, but I'm watching "The Kentucky Fried Movie" and I'm dying laughing.

The Adjustment Bureau is so much better than the over-hyped Inception. (At least I think so since I kept falling asleep during Inception)

Thanks to Netflix, I have recently seen the Expendables, Inception, The Town and tonight, The Fighter.

Expendables was ridiculous. But also entertaining.

Inception was.. overrated. But it was good, I guess. The first hour or so had my attention. Then I just got uninterested.

The Town was awesome, no real complaints at all, definitely kept my interest from beginning to end. Jeremy Renner is a really good actor. Ben Affleck still annoys me though. All in all though, great movie.

The Fighter was my favorite of the four. LOVED that movie. Little known fact: Conan O'Brien's sister played one of Mickey's sisters in the movie.
