Ben Affleck’s Boston is Rocked by 'The Town'

By Billy Nastyn, guest writer

One small neighborhood in Boston has managed to produce the most bank and armored car heists in America. Charlestown has been placed in the spotlight in Ben Affleck’s The Town along with some of the most intelligent robbery scenarios (nuns toting guns, anyone?) that would put Bonnie and Clyde to shame.

Wannabe good-guy, Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck) and his high crime buddy, Jem (Jeremy Renner), are part of a crew of bank robbers that have perfected the play-by-play of each and every job. When the unpredictable and trigger happy Jem takes bank manager Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall) hostage during their most recent heist, he doesn’t realize what he’s put into motion; a romance between a robber and his clueless hostage.

The Town really perfected the balance of two different genres. One part action flick full of high-speed car chases, explosions, and massive guns blended perfectly with some nice-to-meet-you, let’s-get-dinner-and-maybe-she’ll-never-know-that-I-was-the-guy-who-traumatized-her romantic/sometimes-comedy. It sounds like a lot, but it was thrilling to watch the planning of each robbery, while Doug tries to escape his lifestyle to be with Claire.

'America's Next Top Model' Cycle 15 Episode 2 Recap

On tonight's episode of America's Next Top Model the models moved into their home on the beach near Los Angeles. They soon after met up with Mr. Jay and Miss Jay for their first runway challenge. The catch was that the catwalk was four stories above the crowd. After the challenge the girls took part in a photo shoot where they turned words that were once used to bully them into words of empowerment. Diane von Furstenburg was a guest judge on the panel.
