Gerry and I have been up late watching movies the last couple of nights. Not even starting them until 10:00pm. It’s been kinda fun being up so late on the couch together sharing a blanket and some snacks while every one else in the house is asleep. Even the hound.

We watched We Own The Night, which we both thought was pretty good. I good story movie with a great cast. Phoenix and Wahlberg were both equally good. I have never been a fan of Eva Mendes in fact she kind of gets on my nerves when I see her in movies but this role seemed to suit her.

Last night we watched Gone Baby Gone. One damn good movie! Another good story movie with an outstanding cast. I felt the entire movie was very well made. I kind of knew what it was about, but not really. Sad and disturbing, it’s not a movie for everybody. There is a scene about three quarters of the way in to the movie that I knew as soon as it passed I was going to have a hard time shaking it. Even thou it’s not real graphic like other movies I have seen, it messed me up!  This movie effected me. I can’t recommend it enough if you haven’t seen it.

I also hope it’s not the last we see from Ben Affleck as a director. I thought he did a great job!
