Now I remember where I've seen Mystic River before.

what about  this one:
you get to see the background of kevin bacon's character before he became a cop..its a prequel of sorts

I finally saw this movie.  Yes I'm an asshole who waited far too long and therefore caused it some sabotage, due to hype.  

Here's what I thought:  (obviously there's some SPOILERS... even though I'm the last person on the planet to watch this).

Some parts of the storytelling were irresponsible.  The brother and friend killing Katie did not satisfy me.  It wasn't enough motive, and that to me did not justify the brutality of the murder itself.  I thought the Sean Divine - wife - plotline was seriously lacking.  

"Will you come home?"  
"Sure after having your baby and leaving you alone for six months - and stalking you first".  Come on now.  

Penn's acting was great, but no better than Bill's.  I'm going to get shat on for that comment... but Bill Murray's understated performance takes the cake.
All in all, I'm your typical chick who bawls in movies.  I did not bawl throughout this movie.  I was not feeling particularly sympathetic toward the vigilante father... and Tim Robbin's pain was sort of vague.  Maybe I'm hormonal and feeling the inner bitch, but Kevin Bacon's character was flat, Laurence Fishburne was pointless (his performance was so cliche).  Having said that, Tim Robbins was stunning, but that's to be expected.  

I was thoroughly disappointed.  Ok PEOPLES RIP THIS CRITIQUE APART

You're right, Bill should have won.

Maybe it's that Pacino mugshot from the early 60's. But, hey, what do I know...

Because He's HOT!

Besides, what kind of guy would post with a name like "Thrindle"?

No, it's just nobody reads anything.

Well I remember her mentioning it in a previous post. I think it's just Chest. He lets everything get to his hooks.

[MacGuffin]

It's OK, Pal. You'll soon realize no one reads anything around here anyway. The only long and boring posts people read around here come from either Godardian or The Gold[en] Trumpet. Anyone else is just wasting time.

[Chest Rockwell]

Exactly.

I read, I just don't listen, sadly.
