I should have known I wouldn’t like it when it showed up at the house; I couldn’t remember why I’d Netflixed it, and then I saw “DeSica” on the sleeve and I really couldn’t remember …

What is going on with Ben Affleck’s hair in this movie?Seriously.It looks like…I don’t even know what it looks like.It looks, literally, like industrial carpeting.The hell?…Anyway.If you’re going to set a movie in the early …
