Pete Postlethwaite Dies at 64


Legendary British actor Pete Postlethwaite passed away today at the age of 64 due to complications with cancer. He will be missed in the world of film greatly. It's a shame that not too many Americans know his name, though this may be because he was never in a Harry Potter film.

RIP, Pete.

Review: THE TOWN


Ben Affleck's The Town is just about all you can ask for in a bank robbery crime drama. It's smart, well-written, and it's got its emotion in the right place.

In all the years I've talked about film with people, I've noticed that I tend to linger in a group of people that are severely outnumbered - people that really like Ben Affleck. Affleck often gets badmouthed as being a lousy actor for many different reasons. Sometimes people say he picks terrible movies, sometimes people say he's just reading lines, and sometimes Trey Parker and Matt Stone write songs about how Pearl Harbor sucked, and that Ben Affleck was one of the reasons.
