Speaking of Casey Affleck…I think I’m obsessed.

I went and saw “Gone Baby Gone” over the weekend. I’ve been mulling over the movie ever since Saturday, because I’ve been torn over what I would say here on ICYDK.
The movie was good – I wouldn’t say great, I’d say good. As far as I can tell, Ben Affleck did a great job directing the movie. Casey Affleck just steals the show, yet again. I saw him better Brad Pitt in “Jesse James” and in my opinion he should win some sort of award for that performance.
“Gone Baby Gone” is intense. It’s not easy to watch – and there is one scene involving a young boy (same age as my son) that has haunted me since I left the theater. I was a bit disappointed that scene was in the movie – because without it – I would probably recommend the movie to others. This was a dark movie, and honestly – just not my type of film. I know there’s a whole gaggle of people that will like this movie, I just can’t. I think it’s because I have children of my own.
All this said – I think it’s safe to say that I will be seeing any future Casey Affleck film. He truly is AMAZING.
