Dallas Buyers Club

I forgot to mention that I saw Dallas Buyers Club recently at the Strand Theater in Clinton Massachusetts.  Matthew McConaughey stars in this film as Ron Woodroof, a man who was diagnosed with AIDS and works around the United States medical system in order to get other AIDS patients the medication they need to live longer. It was very unnerving to see  Matthew McConaughey lose that much weight for this role after seeing him with a better physical features. Such change in weight can have some unfortunate side affects.


Ron Woodroof starts off as a very unlikable character as he appears to be very prejudice against homosexuals, constantly gambles, sniffs cocaine, and partakes in sex with multiple participants. Even after he is diagnosed with AIDS, he starts the business to get other AIDS patients the medicine just to make a lot of money. He does go through some very impressive character developments.

The rest of the cast does very well too. Jennifer Garner and Jared Leto were very good. This is the only part I've seen Jennifer Garner perform in that I liked.

All in all, this was a good film. I highly recommend it.
