fantastic films for my friends
Ben Affleck is really turning into a fine director, and a versatile one at that. This time he tries his luck at a tense political thriller, but still manages to be funny as well… I am not sure it truly was the Best Motion Picture of the Year in a year with Zero Dark Thirty, Amour, and Django Unchained, but still a fantastic movie.
How often does a movie just make you happy? At the end of this film, I had a big smile on my face and I kept humming that song for a week afterwards. Do I really need to say any more?
Has anybody out there not seen this film already? Talk about a dream cast: Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, Jonathan Pryce… Another screenplay by David Mamet (yes, I know, I’ve mentioned him before) full of whip-sharp memorable dialog, this is a must see. So put that coffee down! And go add this to your Netflix queue…
