Not yet, but Ben is an awesome director. He's also got Boston down pat. Duh. Can't wait to see it.

I was working in the North end when they were shooting some of the scenes. They had to shut down Regina's during some of it.

I agree, very good movie. I thought Jeremy Renner (Hurt Locker) was fantastic. Just like a Charlestown project rat.

Thumbs up

Watched The Town the night before last. Ben makes a wicked pissa movie.

I watched it Friday night and thought it was very good, but not great. Pretty predictable plot, and as usual Affleck was a little overboard with his Boston tough guy accent. I agree with Bronko about Renner. I think he nailed the townie project rat role.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Afflecks ok but to Obvious

i've never been a fan of BOSTON the CITY to see a movie about it
used to go there as a kid on the MBTA to see the Prudential and all that.

i won't drive there via the new tunnels because the cost of using them
is outrageous ...not to mention the Mass pike should be free

haven't used the PIKE now for almost a year...... i'm happy to say
