It's nice to see familiar landmarks, it seems that every movie (with the exception of "Fever Pitch" is about townies who are involved in gangs or mobs. I would just like to say that it is not an accurate representation of Boston today. <br /><br />These Boston based movies portray the gritty parts of Boston in the 80's and 90's. They're very entertaining, but if you go into Dorchester or South Boston (not to be confused with the South End) you might be disappointed that you won't witness bank robberies and muggings in broad daylight (come back around midnight).Arianna Friedmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642584784595208250.post-20020932753412803032010-12-01T11:58:27.652-05:002010-12-01T11:58:27.652-05:00When I watch movies or television shows, I always ...When I watch movies or television shows, I always find myself deciding whether I can truly see the actors playing the role they are in. A good actor or actress would be able to fully put themselves into the role they are playing and not have me thinking the other roles they've been in. For example, I have a hard time seeing Rupert Grint as playing anyone other than Ron Weasley. While I've never seen The Town, it would be interesting to see if Jon Hamm can separate Don and Agent Frawley in his acting.Karen Barkernoreply@blogger.com
