As I started writing this news, I came to the realization that official news about Ben Affleck’s next project is exciting. That blows my mind since I still think of Ben Affleck as Chuckie from GOOD WILL HUNTING. But the guy can direct, as proven by three great films and his Best Picture Academy Award [...]

Will Smith is the man and there’s no denying that. Other than maybe Tom Cruise, Will Smith is the most consistently successful box office star in the world. So he’s earned the benefit of the doubt in most cases, so we shouldn’t be too quick to second guess his recent decisions. But I’m not too [...]

Even though ARGO won Best Picture at the Academy Awards and Ben Affleck cleaned up every Best Director award this past awards season, I still don’t think he gets enough credit for how great a director he is. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I recently went and re-watched GONE BABY GONE and THE TOWN [...]

Easily one of my most anticipated movies of 2013, Terrence Malick’s latest existential film about love and loss, TO THE WONDER, has a new US trailer that looks just as good as all of the European trailers we’ve seen so far. I think it goes without saying that this film will be just as divisive [...]

2012 was a great year for movies and what’s better is the Academy Awards actually recognized that by nominating several worthy films and spreading the award love to a variety of different films (If you want the complete list of Oscar winners click the link). For the record, I was 18 for 21 on my [...]

Bravo to the Academy Awards. This year the list of nominees are a strong batch of contenders. Most of the categories are still completely up in the air giving more than a glimmer of hope to all the nominees. The Best Picture race contains nine very strong movies. I think every category will be exciting [...]

It’s a shame, but ARGO now seems more famous for the award it didn’t get nominated for (Best Director at the Academy Awards) than for all of the awards it has won (the majority of Best Picture and Best Director awards not named Oscar). There’s a reason it has won most of the awards this [...]

If you’re not already excited about Terrence Malick’s follow up to THE TREE OF LIFE, called TO THE WONDER, then there’s really nothing anyone can say that’s going to change your mind. Terrence Malick is a very polarizing director and most people either love him or hate him. And even though TO THE WONDER is [...]

The 85th Annual Academy Award Nominations have been announced (click the link to see the entire list). While many nominations may have been what we expected, the Oscars still managed a few shocks and surprises – most notably in the Best Director Category. But we will get to that later. I personally think the Academy [...]

Another French poster has been released for Terrence Malick’s next film TO THE WONDER and if you ever wanted to see a really nice close-up of Ben Affleck and Olga Kurylenko’s face then you have come to the right place. It’s interesting that we’ve now seen four French posters for TO THE WONDER but have [...]

After months (years?) of not hearing anything from Terrence Malick’s THE THE WONDER, in the past week, we’ve gotten a beautiful trailer and now a few French posters to indicate the marketing for the film is in full swing. And like I’ve alluded to before, I still don’t know how any marketing firm would go [...]

Much has been said about Terrence Malick’s next existential exploration into the human spirit, TO THE WONDER, but until today, we hadn’t seen anything from it other than a couple of images. Well, now we have a trailer for the film and much like Malick’s previous effort, THE TREE OF LIFE, I think this film [...]

As a voting member of the Florida Film Critics Circle (FFCC), I’m excited to announce that Ben Affleck’s “Argo” was the overwhelming winner of the FFCC’s annual awards, taking home prizes for Best Picture, Best Director for Affleck and Adapted Screenplay for Chris Terrio. It’s always nice when one of your favorite films of the [...]

When it was first rumored that Kristen Stewart was in talks to play Ben Affleck’s love interest in the conman film FOCUS, the general reaction was pretty much negative. It’s just way too hard to see Kristen Stewart having any chemistry with the much more talented Ben Affleck. That, coupled with the age difference, sets [...]

No matter what happens from this point on with the movie FOCUS, I will always associate it with what could have been a re-teaming of the adorable on-screen couple, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. So it’s nothing against Ben Affleck, who was the first to step into the film, or Kristen Stewart, who is in [...]

Based on the true story during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, ARGO is a captivating political thriller that no one should miss. The film follows CIA specialist Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) and his plight to rescue six U.S. diplomats from Tehran after the Iranian revolution had reached maximum heights using an extremely unorthodox cover of [...]

It’s hard to deny that Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone were too adorable for words in last year’s CRAZY STUPID LOVE, so it’s a bit of a letdown to report that the two won’t be pairing up for a third time (remember, they are together again for GANGSTER SQUAD) for the John Requa directed film [...]

Looks like Ben Affleck‘s directing career may get a little super boost as Warner Bros. wants to sit down with him in the next few days and discuss him helming the JUSTICE LEAGUE film.

After three strangers are stuck in an airport due to weather delays, [...]

2011 has come and gone and admittedly, it was a weak year in movies. Aside from MI4, none of the big budget blockbusters lived up to their potential.
