State of Play

State of Play, a new movie starring Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck, has opened in theatres.

Why see it?

Well, aside from Russell chilling in front of Ben's, Russell's character lives in the apartment above Pfeiffer's Hardware in Mt. Pleasant. Rumor has it, the movie features wonderful shots of Pfeiffer's and Heller's Bakery.


Some co-op members are also rumored to be extras in the film - so while you're watching, you can play co-op member bingo and take a drink every time you catch a 2 second glimpse of Stan.

The Post's Reliable Source gives the movie a firm finger shake for the sense of place discontinuity only locals would know about.

Seen it? Send your review to CityGardenOutreach@gmail.com and I'll post it on the blog! (With your permission of course!)
