Gone Baby Gone

The movie was pretty good in my opinion. I really liked the plot line. First the girl goes missing, then she's dead, then another boy goes missing and then the story turns on its ear.

A round of applause is deserved by the Affleck boys. Both Ben and Casey did their jobs well enough to make what could have been a lame-duck movie a treat to experience.

The cast came together really well. I didn't like the choice of Michelle Monaghan or Ed Harris. But the roles they played grew on me.

In the end it was Casey who really carried the movie. He was the, as Tony Soprano would put it, Gary Cooper - "strong, silent type."

I liked Casey in "Good Will Hunting," which I don't believe he got enough credit for, but I really like Casey in "Gone Baby Gone."

I still try to pull the "I wish I had a double burger" sing-song line that Casey did from "Hunting" all of the time. Its my own inside joke. No one ever really gets it, mainly because no one is as big as a movie/pop-culture freak as I consider myself to be.

Yes big Ben and Matt Damon -- the dual love interests of Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman -- came out of nowhere to put their stars on the map, but I continue to give props to little Casey.

I've heard he does a dynamite job in the Brad Pitt/"Jesse James" flick, and it doesn't surprise me that much.

I wanted to see the movie, yes its been a while, the other night when I went to Hollywood Video and much to my dismay, they didn't have the damn thing.

How do you not have a Oscar recognized film for people to borrow at their leisure. Did they forget to order it? Who knows.

Anyways, go see "Gone Baby Gone" and eat some Bugles with caramel coating. It'll make a great night.
