Are you a Matt or Ben fan?

Even though it's been many, many years since "Good Will Hunting" came out, I always group Matt Damon and Ben Affleck together. Both went on to have very successful careers in the movie industry, both on and off the camera. I'm more of a Ben fan (and I think his brother Casey is awesome), but my boyfriend is a Matt fan (I think because he watches all the Bourne Identities repetitively). Last night we watched "Hereafter," starring Matt Damon. It is one of those movies that follows three different story lines, that you know are going to intersect at some point. I really enjoy those kinds of plots. One story line followed a French TV journalist who is in Thailand when the tsunami hits and almost dies. Another story line follows a young boy who's twin brother dies and his mom is an alcoholic. The third storyline follows Damon's character, who is a natural psychic who is trying to hid from him ability to help people communicate with their deceased loved ones. It's a really depressing movie but very well done. It gets a little more uplifting near the end, but isn't anywhere near a feel-good flick. It's definitely worth the rental.

  1. Damon for sure. The only thing Affleck is good for is being a stay-at-home husband for Jennifer Garner....
