The Town
In the past decade Ben Affleck went from being an on the rise A-lister, only to see his stock fall with a quick succession of films that included Daredevil, Jersey Girl, and most infamous of all, Gigli. His high profile relationship with Jennifer Lopez seemed to doom him, while the meteoric rise continued for best […]
New Poster for Ben Affleck’s “The Town”
Doug MacRay is an unrepentant criminal, the de facto leader of a group of ruthless bank robbers who pride themselves in stealing what they want and getting out clean. With no real attachments, Doug never has to fear losing anyone close to him. But that all changed on the gang’s latest job, when they briefly […]

If you look through his body of work, he is responsible for a certain type […]

Although, more often than not, hype can bring in unrealistic expectations. Take for example James Cameron’s latest project, Avatar, the hype surrounding it has been huge, and why not? It is […]
Fantastic Four to be Rebooted
The first two films of that Fantastic Four franchise did decent business, but they weren’t the blockbuster that Spider-man was. Although Fantastic 4 has never been as popular of a comic as Spider-man has been. Sure there is appeal there, but not as much as the high flying web-slinger. So it makes me wonder why […]
