I am obsessed with pop culture - TV, Movies, Books, Music and of course all of the celebrity gossip that goes along with it. I enjoy being the go to person for what's on TV on a particular night, what movies to see, and what books to read. Not that I'm a know it all - but I pretend to be.

Gone Baby Gone


I finally finished watching Gone Baby Gone Saturday night. I thoroughly enjoyed it. 

If you don't know the plot - which I didn't - I'll give you a brief synopsis. It follows Casey Affleck's character (Patrick Kenzie) who is a private detective along with his girlfriend in Boston. The two of them specialize in missing person cases. When a little girl goes missing they get called by the family to help investigate - trouble, suspense and police corruption ensue. 

Amy Ryan definitely deserved her Oscar nomination for supporting actress for playing Helene McCready, the mother of the missing girl. Apparently her Boston accent was so believable, that Ben Affleck asked her what part of Boston she was from. Affleck makes his directorial debut in Gone Baby Gone. Not bad. Not bad at all. I'll probably rate it as 4 stars on my Netflix.
