I actually got to see TWO movies this week! Imagine that! Anyway, I don't have a whole lot to say about either (another paradox), but I do want to mention a couple things.
First of all, Along Came Polly is pretty average. Good comedic acting, some good laughs, but I've seen it all before. With a lesser cast, it probably would have sucked. My recommendation: rent it.
Then there is Mystic River. This finally came to Monroe, now that it is back in theaters, so I took my opportunity Saturday afternoon to see it. Boy, I sure am glad I did. Now I know why Sean Penn won his Golden Globe. This movie is chock full of fantastic performances, gut-wrenching plot twists, thought-provoking dialogue, and brilliant direction. Good ole Dirty Harry hit paydirt with this film. It is extremely sad, but a full-on brilliant movie. My recommendation: it's rated R, so SEE IT with caution.
