I've watched a really good indie movie that has nothing to do with homosexuality like three times in the past few days because it was such a good movie. It's very dark and quirky. But it's intoxicating.

I'm afraid to even look at what that is.

This combines nicely with your sig.

The Town - started off pretty entertaining -good acting, suspenseful, interesting characters and locale - just overall well done. Then like most all thriller-type movies of today, it leaves the atmosphere of any semblence of plausibility. Yeah, I know its supposed to be entertainment and reality isn't at a premium with the genre, but to this viewer who has not been sufficiently jaded by current movies, I feel cheated when the movie jumps the shark repeatedly towards the end.

My reaction to The Town is similar to Blood Diamond -a movie that starts off interesting and then bores you towards the end with the non-stop Houdini acts of particular characters.
[SHOW]
The bullet proof vests work miracles for spraying the lead characters with bullets from feet away and they never die.
That's ok, but then they do it again. And Again. So we know that this guy just won't die. Then the lovely female character disappears from the plot for long stretches, and they bring her back for a sappy jingoistic ending. The hottish blond featured on the DVD jacket cover raises movie expectations -and is almost absent from the first 75% of the movie, only to be awkwardly tossed into the plotline at the end.

I downloaded it several months ago. It's nothing special.

I wondered the same thing when I read the book.
