Solid heist movie from start to finish.Affleck wrote/directed this and really nailed it.
Was told that the last 20 minutes of the film would make you cry like a baby, so despite the fact that I'm not a fan of Adam Sandler I watched it. And, it did make me baww pretty hard. Not the best movie, but I really liked it.
Saw this the other day, thought it was pretty good. Christian Bale and Melissa Leo were outstanding. Didn't think the movie was great though, certainly not in the same class as Raging Bull or Million Dollar Baby
Just watched this again...
not sure why I love it so much... feels like I should hate it but I don't.

Since this has turned into a defacto HOMICIDE RULES thread...I have rewatched on the box set(cannot recommend highly enough), and that show was so far ahead of it's time. I hear how the Wire was this tremendous show, and it was good...but the praise that The Wire gets should have been lavished on Homicide instead. The whole cast was tremendous. Friggin Belzer has been milking Detective Munch for 20 some odd years now. Great trivia question...how many shows has that character appeared on??? Hell, I don't know.
Homicide > The Wire.
I think they both deserve a lot of acclaim. Shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that David Simon, creator of The Wire, worked as a producer and writer on Homicide.
As far as your question goes, I know he's been on almost all the Law and Order spawns, and I'm pretty sure he was in an episode of Arrested Development. I don't know what other stuff he's been in, I'm sure there's more.
CSI and all of it's spin offs is a ****ing joke.
Why don't we just start a HLOTS RULES thread? I'm going to guess Munch has been on between 7-11 different shows. In fact there was one show we were watching last month where he appeared as Munch, I forget which show tho. I loved all of the cast, but LOVED LOVED LOVED Andre Braugher. Pembleton rules all. I named my Ipod after him. Oh man, the grilled cheese sandwich thing with Bayliss is classic!
Incidently, I know they made Melissa Leo more mannish for Homicide but I didn't realize how pretty she really is outside of Howard.
