JerryK Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Well made, but depressing. It would be nice to think families that screwed up aren't very common...but I wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dickkotite Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 but that movie reminds me of how creepy bostonians are. definately second class citizens, when compared to the good people of the empire state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernJet Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Great great flick DK... IMHO Amy Ryan's performance as "Helene McCready" was the best job this year,,she was nominated for Oscar, but didnt win.. http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/gonebabygone?q=gone%20baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garb Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 SPOLIER ALERT!!! Dick calling Bostonians creepy. Hahaahaha.....creep. The movie was good. But it had one major flaw: The idea that an older black man can reside in NEW HAMPSHIRE with his older wife (white) and a little 3 year old blonde, green eyed girl and go about his business without any "funny looks" or questions is foolish. I wanted to now what he was saying to the neighbors. "Hey, my wife's kid died and we are raising the grandchild." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afosomf Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 got to see this movie... had to watch it twice... once with subtitles the Bahstan accent can be like a foreign language at times the characters is this film were pretty creepy, specially the coke addicts/pedophile. That woman gave me nightmares. All in all good film, not going to make anyone want to make a quick visit to Bahstan anytime soon, it seems to be filled with rehtards and Kweers. Anyone want a tonic;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great movie. Casey Affleck is everywhere these days, overshadowing his brother (who happened to direct this movie). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afosomf Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 The chick from The Wire did a phenomenal job as the mother. Good flick. she was good but too me it would be easy to play a coke head alcoholic a-hole. They could have gone into that neigborhood and cast that part to many. Every other word was F this and F that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernJet Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I respectfully disagree. well as usual, when it comes to film, yo uand the REST OF WORLD dont see eye to eye she was nominated at every award venue for best actress for this role.. she pulled off the 'white trash' role perfect..

She was good but to me not worthy of an Oscar. uh, acting is more than a accent,,aka brando in godfather,,was his job easy cause he had a italian accent.. her great job wasnt about the accent, it was about the non caring 'drugs rule my life' white trash attitidude,,the fact you felt it was easy is usually a key tha tshe totally had you sold on the character...

Like I said, Good Job not Oscar worthy. Affleck did a great job as did his girlfriend. Ed harris is always good too The wife of the child molester really creeped me out, you suppose there are people that ugly in Bahston? Did they pick her out of the projects?

Kidhuman Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I watched tis last week and damn it was a good flick. I didnt suspect the ending at all. Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris are great as usual. Casey Affleck is a damn good actor also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
