Ben Affleck
Movie Review: Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
The disappointing mediocrity of "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" may have set a new low for the DCECU that it is unlikely to climb out of at any point soon.
Movie Review: Air
In "Air," Ben Affleck takes a story of corporate victory and spins it into a funny, smart, well-acted and highly entertaining drama.
Movie Review: Deep Water
Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas embrace camp in Adrian Lyne’s tawdry psychological thriller, "Deep Water," which boasts torrid thrills and a nonsensical plot.
Movie Review: The Last Duel
Ridley Scott’s film is held together nicely by a well-written and inventive script that is brought to life through the work of three very talented actors.

Movie Review: The Way Back
The new film, The Way Back, is and often frustrating, yet occasionally inspiring tale of redemption that meanders its way through a typical, yet clumsily told comeback story. The saving grace of the whole endeavor though is the solid work done by Ben Affleck. His work transcends the film’s shortcomings to give the film a reason to exist. The film tells the story of former high basketball phenom Ja...[Read More]

Movie Review: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Somewhere during the titular bout in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, I hated myself for liking superhero movies. This feeling is almost certain to be temporary, dissipating when Captain America: Civil War rolls around in May. But there’s something singularly bleak about what will heretofore be abbreviated as BvS – something distinct from the post-9/11 political provocations of Christopher Nola...[Read More]

San Diego Comic Con Lifts Batman v Superman above the Horizon
In the summer of 2013 a little crossover movie was announced at San Diego Comic Con. Shoved to the end of the Warner Brothers panel inside the sacred walls of Hall H, Man of Steel director Zack Snyder took the stage and flashed a logo for his next movie and a release date of summer 2015 for Batman v Superman. Fast forward to summer 2015 in that same location. Instead of talking about a full-lengt...[Read More]

Movie Review: Gone Girl
Every few years a book (yes, people still read) comes along and grabs the attention of what seems to be a nation. About five years ago it was The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. And then Gone Girl (written by Gillian Flynn) seemed to take over in the same manner. Gone Girl was a rare page turning mystery novel that didn’t necessarily bring anything new to the table in terms of plot, but it was beauti...[Read More]
