Movies to see: ‘Gone Baby Gone’ and Gosling’s ‘Lars’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Here’s my indubitable advice about what matters most about new movies this weekend:
1. “Gone Baby Gone” — Ben Affleck can’t really act, but he sure can direct. And little brother Casey can sure lead.
2. “Lars and the Real Girl” — Ryan Gosling (pictured below) is just about perfect in this strange and remarkably sweet indie fable.
3. “Rendition” — Meryl Streep’s on fire, but everything else in this tepid drama induces pure boredom.
4. “Things We Lost in the Fire” — And the overacting awards go to Halle Berry and, especially, Benicio Del Toro.
5. “30 Days of Night” — Vampires speak their own language, requiring subtitles. Can Josh Hartnett’s career sink any lower?
6. “The Darjeeling Limited” — From start to finish it is pretentious crud.
