I also quite liked Charlie Wilson’s War. The director made a good choice by showing tits right at the start. Phillip Seymour Hoffman was also great, as per usual. He may have won Best Actor for playing Truman Capote, but his finest work has always been in supporting roles.
A few months ago I also watched Gone Baby Gone, which was probably the best movie released in 2007. For some reason this movie hardly ever gets talked about, which is a shame. It’s fucking outstanding and doesn’t get the respect it deserves. It’s got a spectacular cast, great acting, screenwriting, and directing (Ben Affleck has found his niche). I was really attached to the characters and it was completely engrossing the entire way through. One of my all-time favourites for sure, and probably my favourite movie set in Boston. (The five best Boston films, in no particular order, include The Boondock Saints, The Departed, Good Will Hunting, Mystic River, and Gone Baby Gone). I remember the first time I saw Good Will Hunting when I was ten years old. I was speaking with a New England accent for the next year or so. Then after I saw The Departed for the first time, I started doing it again. New Englanders sound so cool. I’ve always been curious if ABF drops his R’s when he speaks…
