A Movie in 3 Acts: GONE GIRL
The movie could use a little trim, and some may feel Flynn's book and screenplay jumps the shark a bit at some points, which is why I call it a movie in 3 Acts, but I gotta say, I liked it. The film on the whole is an interesting commentary on the media circus, public judgement and sway we've seen play out in these kinds of cases...

I have three sisters and a brother, and up until recently, when one of my sisters and I decided to move in together to share expenses, our relationships mainly consisted of holiday and birthday gatherings of G rated catch ups on life.

Henson and Idris Elba are very talented actors, plus I admire Will Packer’s success as a Producer and most importantly, seeing black actors in mainstream movies that have nothing to do…
