Promised Land:
Another good movie. I
thought Matt Damon and John Krasinski gave great performances. Something I
didn't expect was how much I enjoyed Frances McDormand's performance (she plays
"Sue," Damon's colleague); she had this straight-faced humor that I
just love. With the premise of the movie being about a natural gas company
(represented by Damon and McDormand) attempting to buy out a small farming
community with resistance from an environmentalist (Krasinski), I thought the
movie was going to be mostly serious with a few jokes here and there. However,
much to my surprise, I felt that the movie had a nice balance of humorous and
serious tones (it was funny much of the time; not always funny "haha"
but funny in terms of various situations). I left satisfied and mind-blown after a
surprise twist I don't think anyone saw coming...except maybe the people aware of the true story this film is based around, which I clearly was not. My jaw literally dropped.
Yep, another good one. agree.
