Eat it Matt Damon

The year is 1997. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have a breakthrough script and win an Academy Award for it: Good Will Hunting. Awesome screenplay. Their careers took off after that, but in completely different directions.
Matt Damon: Saving Private Ryan, The Bourne Series, The Departed.
Ben Affleck: Daredevil, Paycheck, Gigli.
It seemed that Damon had a taste for Oscars, and Affleck had a taste for watching Damon receive them while sitting on his couch thinking of more stupid movies to be in or more movies he could watch his wife hook up with other men in. But those days are over as of now. The Town.

Starring Ben Affleck, Written by Ben Affleck, and directed by guess who...Big Ben. Talk about redeeming yourself. best picture so far this year in my book and Affleck was amazing in it, who would have thought cause he sucks in almost every other movie. This action packed Boston Thriller has everything a good movie needs. Great story, deep characters, great acting, and cinematography. I loved it. Not quite up there with the Departed in my book but extremely close. Move over Inception, no Best Picture for you. My opinion of course. Its about Charleston and a group of friends who rob banks but are kind of stuck in a rut in the town. See it if you like those types of movies. About time a movie like this comes around. It gets a 9/10 on Zach meter.

Back to the basics

Ok, I know I'm suppose to talk about the entertainment industry, so I will do just that.

Zac Efron- Sexy right? Ok, i'll admit that. But he is no Brad Pitt. My sister claims that he is the next Brad. Lets see...imagine skinny, pretty, weak Zac Efron playing roles in movies like Fight Club, Troy, Snatch, Inglorious Basterds? Can you imagine little Zac getting a bunch of disturbed jews pumped up to go out and slaughter Nazi's, then scalping them? I don't think so. Ya, that's right Zac, I saw your last movie, you sailed boats, you are still a weak Disney boy to me. I was disappointed to say the least. Not the best foot forward to start your movie career with. Advise, get a new agent. P.S you spell your name stupid. (I was hoping Liz walked in on me googling that pic, It would have made for a great scenario)


INCEPTION- Best movie of the year, not that it has had too much competition(honestly can you think of any other good movies this year?). Leo did play pretty much the same role he did in Shutter Island (wife baggage) but he did awesome as usual. He has to be the best actor around these days. My wife Liz thought Ellen Page(Juno chick) was bad casting. I thought she did good with the role, not a tough role or anything, but she did good. Although she caught on to the whole "designing dreams" idea in the movie too quickly, but not too quickly to not suspend my disbelief. Cool movie, awesome cinematography, and cool directing(Christopher Nolan). He chooses his films wisely and does awesome every time (Dark Knight, Memento, Prestige ext...

Movies I need to see: Toy Story 3, The Expendables(dumb looking but oh well), The Town, I'm still here(joaquin phoenix documentary), Scott Pilgrim, just some off the top my head.

Industry disappointments(besides Zac): Steven Spielberg. To think this man made movies like Schindlers List then a decade later do Transformers? Then destroy Indiana Jones rep with the 4th movie of that series. C'mon Steve, your HBO series are great, but your movies suck lately.
Johnny Depp: When was the last time you saw this dude in a good movie? Talent wasted.
