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.
