We seem to have joined the Depressing Movie sub-list at Netflix. Tonight was "Mystic River." I have to admit, I was a little disappointed, probably because I'd been just dying to see this movie for so long. The performances were pretty good, but it just wasn't all it was cracked up to be. It was a little too "twisty" at the end, and it doesn't give away much to say that Laura Linney's character was a big zero throughout the movie and then had this major soliloquy at the end that just didn't fit. I also continue to be disappointed with all these actors who feel the need to put on a phony Boston accent and mess it up. Just don't bother, guys!
