Argo

Argo is one of those movies that we saw despite Ben Affleck. He's a big doof, we generally spend most movies he's in making fun of him and he directed "Argo." That being said, holy shit were we impressed by this movie! I mean, WHOA! It is obvious that this production team really did their homework on this one. The problem with doing movies based on things that actually happened is that people have notes and pictures to compare the movie to and most movies are usually lacking in one regard or another. Whether it be the stars in "Titanic" or one out-of-place modern item in a movie about the 1950s. Someone always misses something. This movie was near flawless from the casting, costumes, sets, the friggin' Star Wars toys and Cylon costumes. It was fantastic. What really amazed me was the suspense they were able to build. This is a movie based on historical events. If you've studied history or paid attention to the news, you know how this movie ends. Even so, we found ourselves on the edge of our seats and holding our breath in anticipation for about the last half hour of the movie. They killed it.

If this movie gets over-looked come next award season, it will be a crime. Go see "Argo," and Argo fuck yourself. ;)
