If you haven't seen The Town yet, I highly recommend doing so. Directed by and staring Ben Affleck (big fan), this movie is the best one I've seen since Inception (note the lull in the blog). Set in Boston, it centers on 4 friends who rob banks. I've been told that Affleck managed to truly capture the tone and speech of down-trodden Boston. I don't know about that, being from the South, but I know I had a hard time understanding the dialogue. Still, it only further authenticated the feel of the movie.
The Town is high on action, peppered with a few funny lines, contains a semi-believable love interest, and most importantly has excellent acting. It isn't quite the caliber of movie The Departed was (to which a lot of people are comparing it to) but it is absolutely worth the watch.
