I was so surprised I liked this. The whole thing ended up be a very moral
grey area and for a change you really didn't know if everything ended for
the best. I won't spoil with detail, just tell you I highly recommend this
film. About 2 hours and while I knew and felt the time passing, I didn't
mind. The film kept my attention. I was very impressed with Casey
Affleck's acting and well, that's standard for Morgan Freeman (my favorite
actor). What really surprised me was Ben Affleck's directing debut. If he
has more films like that in the future, the man's going to make a fortune.

I was at the store last night, ALMOST bought that movie! I wasn't sure
about it, so put it back. Dang it!
Morgan Freeman is one of my favorites too! I love him. Every single
thing he has ever done. Hell, I can just listen to him and be happy.

don't buy much anymore. I use NetFlix. After so much time saying I
wouldn't join, someone gave me a year Christmas `06. I think I bought 2
DVD's ion 2007. But the movie, I felt, was worth it.

The only time I remember hearing his voice was back in "Driving Miss Daisy"
which my mom dragged me too when I was 18, just a couple of years prior to
my hearing loss. I loved that film, though I'd never admit it at that
point.

That was a really good one. I loved him in Million Dollar Baby, too.
That movie really gets to me.

I'd go see it too, not expecting another 2001 though because of
Fincher's background. That could be a good thing.

I haven't seen that one yet... I have a feeling it will make me cry and real
life is pretty much doing that for me.

Yes. He's the psychologist the professors ask to help Will Hunting. How
many times has he played a psychologist or therapist?!

One of my two fave Robin Williams movies, along with "The Fisher King".
"Feel-good" flicks, the both of them, and highly recommended.

Oh, I am SO going to watch that!!! Loved the books, (RWR, Rama II) and
was totally bowled over by "Fight Club". Now there was a movie that you
HAD to watch more than once, if only to pick out the bits you were told
you missed first time around!

Well, he made a d@mn fine job of Fight Club, IMHO, so I have great hopes
for RWR!

Then you definitely don't need this one, it is very touching and
heartwrenching, but you can save it for another time.
