After six years of dating, actor Casey Affleck and actress Summer Phoenix have taken the next step. The couple were married last weekend, Affleck's publicist, Rebecca Feferman, told The Associated Press on Monday in New York.
The last name Affleck has become synonymous with bad cinema, thanks to such box-office busts as "Bounce" (2000), "Gigli" (2003) and "Reindeer Games" (2000). But Ben Affleck has gotten more choosy about his movie projects. And he's not to be confused with his younger brother, Casey, who's had a string of critically acclaimed films of late.
Tower Heist" (PG-13): "Tower Heist" will make high-schoolers laugh, but also help them focus on the human aspect of the hard economic times we live in. Director Brett Ratner guides an ideal cast through a whip-smart script that delves deeply into characters and their life situations. And the comedy doesn't hit you over the head -- there are actually throwaway lines. Ben Stiller plays Josh, the manager of a Manhattan residential high-rise called The Tower, populated by millionaires and billionaires, pampered by a staff of blue-collar workers. The penthouse dweller is Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda), an amiable-seeming financial player who, to everyone's shock, is suddenly arrested by the FBI. The lead agent (Tea Leoni) tells Josh that Shaw has decimated the pension funds of all the ...

Ben Affleck returns to his hometown of Boston with a sweeping crime drama that will undoubtedly leave viewers in a haze of moral uncertainty. Decisions don't come easy in "Gone Baby Gone," Affleck's highly successful directorial debut. Of course, Ben's not the only reason to snatch a ticket for this gritty flick. His younger brother Casey stakes his claim as a masterful leading man and Amy Ryan ("The Wire") is exceptional in her role as a deadbeat mother.
Dos hermanos, dos mundos opuestos: Joaquín Phoenix (Gladiator) trabaja para un empresario ruso cuyas transacciones no son precisamente con pieles, como pretende hacer creer, sino con drogas, pero a aquél no le importa, ya que gracias a su inversión puede hacerse cargo de uno de los locales más de moda en Brooklyn a finales de los años 80. Por su parte, Mark Wahlberg (The Departed) es un respetado agente de la policía en cuyo objetivo está poner fin al tráfico de estupefacientes en Nueva York. Su mirada está, precisamente, en el local que promociona su hermano. Este es el triángulo familiar que ofrece We Own the Night un thriller que podría haber sido algo más apasionante de lo que resulta ser, pero que aun así se revela como un drama adulto, entretenido, con escenas de gran tensión (la ...
... en la dirección de largometrajes de Ben Affleck (Daredevil), quien para la ocasión decidió otorggarle el papel protagonista a su hermano, Casey Affleck, actor que el pasado otoño demostró su v...
Moonlight Mile," by Dennis Lehane; William Morrow; 336 pages; $26.99 "Moonlight Mile" is the sixth of Dennis Lehane's Kenzie-Gennaro books, the first in 11 years and the first since "Gone, Baby, Gone," with Casey Affleck as Patrick Kenzie and Michelle Monaghan as Angie Gennaro, came out in theaters in 2007.
Lars and the Real Girl [October 12] Ryan Gosling, Emily Mortimer, and Paul Schneider form an ace trio in director Craig Gillespie's genuinely funny and very human comedy about a deeply sad man, the life-size doll with which he's smitten, and the Canadian townspeople who come to love her too. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford [September2l] Filmmaker Andrew Dominik's long-delayed adaptation of Ron Hansen's classic 1983 novel turns out not to be a disaster at all, but a lyrical, sumptuously photographed tone poem, one marked by superb performances from Brad Pitt as James and Casey Affleck (who's having a big year) as Ford, and equally definitive work from Sam Rockwell, Paul Schneider, and Garret Dillahunt. Into the Wild [September 21] In what could be a star- mak...
Con motivo del 25 aniversario de su estreno, ahora llega en DVD una edición conmemorativa que incluye una versión remasterizada de la película, un excelente reportaje sobre su producción, A Better Man: The Making of Tootsie -y que ofrece nuevas entrevistas con [Sydney Pollack], los guionistas y los principales actores-, escenas eliminadas nunca vistas con anterioridad y una audición de Hoffman en el papel de Dorothy. Uno de los fracasos de taquilla de 2007 es también una de las mejores producciones estrenadas ese año. Y el DVD será la mejor opción de descubrir un extraordinario western -que hoy se define como "crespuscular"- en el que Brad Pitt encarna al legendario pistolero [JESSE JAMES] y Casey Affleck, en una actuación simplemente perfecta, como Robert Ford, quien acabó asesinándolo...
