What Ben Affleck’s Comeback Can Teach Hollywood About Hygiene and Hits

Ben Affleck’s box-office champ, The Town , is about the section of Boston where nobody shaves, which should be no surprise. When movie stars age or fade, they often seek to restablish their legitimacy by directing themselves in scrappy, hygiene-challenged movies you can smell. Affleck scored an A, but does he ruin the curve for others?

Nicole Kidman Gets Awkward in Two New Rabbit Hole Clips

REVIEW: Ben Affleck Narrowly Misses Greatness with The Town

As cool and straight an entertainment shot as his brother’s recent directing debut was pyrotechnically scattered, Ben Affleck’s The Town has got bangs, bucks and the kind of showy, signature roles aspiring actors pantomime themselves asleep to at night. The movie is as slick and tightly constructed as Affleck’s debut, Gone Baby Gone, was prolix and unruly. But The Town lacks Gone ‘s operatic ambitions. And the irony is that that lack of a grand or even grandiose plan keeps this very good film from being a truly great one.

Remember When J.J. Abrams Confessed His Mel Gibson Man-Crush?

Seriously : Movieline’s Vault is hiding some serious magic from 1992 . How about what I presume is the first in-depth profile of J.J. Abrams , then 26 and rich from his screenplays for Regarding Henry and the Mel Gibson vehicle Forever Young ? And maybe a tad too candid with journalists: “Well, I know this is gonna sound crazy, but Mel is just so f*cking good-looking that you can’t believe it. He has a really funny personality, and you find that you can forget that he’s this mega-movie star when you’re with him. But the truth is, I spent a lot of time just staring into his eyes.” It always starts so innocently. [ Movieline ]
