Shaun's New "Netflix Movie Review": Good Will Hunting

Starring Matt Damon and Robin Williams
So recently the Ostrich and I subscribed to Netflix. I cannot begin to describe how baffled I am as to why I hadn't been using Netflix before! We have watched around ten movies so far that have already paid for the monthly subscription just in the first week. I would definitely recommend the service to anyone that has even the slightest interest in movies! We watched Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's Good Will Hunting Monday night and it inspired me to put into writing one of my favorite hobbies - watching and critiquing good movies! So without further adieu...my first "published" movie critique.

Shaun's Netflix Movie Grade: A


This was an inspirational movie akin to the intellect of Russell Crowe's A Beautiful Mind. It was an edgy film that had violence, love, battles of wit and shows of pure confidence. Matt Damon's character, Will Hunting, was aptly played, as was Robin Williams performance of the psychologist who is forced to suffer Will's condescending deflection. I was widely impressed with the passion that each character brought to the screen and am equally impressed by the storyline co-written by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon himself. I am usually not fond of anything that has Ben Affleck in it but his acting in this movie was just well enough to convince me of his character's Boston authenticity. Either way, if you have an afternoon to devote to some intellectually inspiring comic-drama I would highly recommend you queue this film on your Netflix waiting list.
