One of the major bonuses of my job is getting to see movies before they hit theaters.  It’s an even bigger bonus when I get to go to the Red Carpet Premiere!  Last night I was able to see Ben Affleck’s new movie The Town.  The movie was shot in Boston and Ben (of course we’re on a first-name basis) did it up in style and had the screening at Fenway Park!  It was an amazing experience and I even got to interview some of the stars of the movie!

Interviews in the video (in order) Boston Hip Hop Artist Slaine, Prince of Thieves author Chuck Hogan (The Town is based on it), Mad Men star Jon Hamm, Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley (there to support his girlfriend Blake Lively), and Ben Affleck. By the way, you’ll get to see me completely lose every thought in my mind interviewing Jon Hamm. He was so hot, I just totally forgot what I wanted to say! LOL

The movie was so good!  And this is coming from someone who watches mostly “chick flicks.”  I did have to turn away during some of the fights and shootings, but it had some great action, car chases, and the acting is amazing!  Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) put in a particularly great performance that even had we Bostonian’s believing he was one of us! I am also extremely happy for Ben Affleck.  It’s so nice to see  him moving on to this next stage in his career as a director/actor/screenwriter, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for him!

Two thumbs up for The Town!  Here’s the trailer in case you haven’t seen it.

Will you be going to see The Town?  I would love to hear from you after you do.  Be sure to come back and leave me a comment!
