No thread for this yet? For shame!
I'm a big fan of Ben Affleck's first two films as director - Gone Baby Gone and The Town.
Three for three?

Re: Argo
This looks good, hopes there is a preview in portsmouth!
A horse walks into a bar and the bartender asks, "Why the long face?"
A pony walks into the bar and whispers, "I'll have a beer, please." The barkeeper asks, "Why are you whispering?".
"I'm a little hoarse."

Re: Argo
AYBG, I recommend you watch the extended version of the Town as well as the extras if you have not already; it's very very good!
My 2014 Unlimited Films: 11/100
Re: Argo
I share this opinion. Like Drive, it's artistically impressive and great to look at, but in terms of its story extremely straightforward.humor wrote:The Town is good but not great in my opinion.
Gone Baby Gone in my humble opinion is far superior.

Re: Argo
Argo is a really good solid effort by Ben Affleck, well made and well acted but like mentioned above, it's good film and not a great one, but show's once again Ben Affleck is coming along nicely as a director.
Not a big Ben Afllect fan (As an actor) however he underplays it here, which works really well for the film - Bryan Cranston is fantastic as always.
Argo F***kyourself (This running line will make you laugh)
