This shouldn't be exciting, but is

Movie News | Ali | 13th June 2011

If I had told you a decade ago I was excited that casting had begun on Ben Affleck's new movie, you would have laughed at me and called me a girl. Well, here we are, a decade later - Ben Affleck is casting his new movie, and I'm excited. Now who's a girl?

The Town

Movie Review | Matt | 23rd September 2010

Ben Affleck: talented actor whose career undeservingly suffered after the Bennifer affair, or punchably smug media-rapist? Personally, I've always had a soft spot for the lunk-headed grinner - he was, after all, the bomb in Phantoms, yo - but, either way, few can deny that he has managed to recover a lot of credibility post-Gigli.

Straw poll. Ben Affleck: hate him or really hate him? Let's not beat around the bush; Affleck the elder has been trading off his early successes for years, coasting through a career peppered with duff action vehicles, with a smug grin permanently slapped just above his gigantic chin. Just look at the man's IMDb profile picture: ...

Jersey Girl

Movie Review | Ali | 12th September 2004

When was the first time you ever heard Jason Mewes yell the immortal line 'Snoochie Boochies'? Five years ago? Ten? Funny, wasn't it? And that same unmistakable patois continued to be funny down the line, through five whole movies, but each and every time you heard it, the novelty began to wear thinner. Pretty soon, it only...
