Keep Rosamund Park Away from Sharp Objects - Or Else

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2015)

OK. After seeing this movie Rosamund Park is not allowed to talk to me, or visit with me, or see meshe frightened the living daylights out of me. What an excellent performancetoo real and too scary. And Ben Affleck, with all his faults (uber lefty), he can always be counted on for a spot-on performance. Wellmostly. I understand that his performance in, 'Daredevil', is a bit difficult to swallow and his roles in, 'Field of Dreams' and (one of my favorites) 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' left very little to talk aboutand are very hard to find. Outside of a couple of weak showings, look at what else this guy has done. 'Argo' – spectacular; 'Armageddon' – come oncome onI know you teared up – just a bit; 'The Town' – scary maniac gone nice guyclassic. The best movie of course is, 'Dazed and Confused' – I never knew Ben Affleck could be anything other than a nice guy – was I ever wrong. Mr. Affleck played the consummate High School Jerk. The guy has chops – big chops – really big chops and boy did he show them off big time in, 'Gone Girl.' I read the book before seeing the movie (which is kind of like saying, 'Look at me, look at meI read the book and you didn't – I read the book and you didn't – nanny-nanny-poo-poo.) Wow – I am being hard myself? Nah – I always pick on narcissists like me. This movie followed the book better than any movie I have seen in the past ten or fifteen years – well done. Will people disagree with me? Of course they will silly. I disagree with me all the time. Should everyone see this movie? Probably not, since it is a little long and one's concentration may be prone to wander off. Will I see this again? Nah. Was this a good movie? Yesa very good thriller.
