Matt Damon - Page 6

MANY THANKS TO OUR 9/11 CONTRIBUTORS As always, Big Hollywood’s contributors came through in a big way. We can’t thank those who contributed to yesterday’s series of posts commemorating the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 atrocity enough. In fact, we

If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years about Hollywood, it’s that actors love being part of disaster movies. Whether it’s “The Towering Inferno” or “The Poseidon Adventure,” or any one of the insane “Airport” movies from the ’70s,

This week we’re getting four Coen brothers classics on Blu-ray in a handy box set, as well as released individually: Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, Fargo, and Miller’s Crossing (though Fargo has already been made available). The Coens specialize in bizarre

In a world in such disarray, it should not be of any surprise that within only a few short days of hearing about one of the most devastating blows to the U.S. Special Operations community, some citizens are doing their

Funny how this cynical new ABC series (produced and starring the rich, no doubt) assumes average Americans are more interested in taking revenge on the rich instead of becoming rich themselves. It’s also also interesting that the show is set

Paul Bond of The Hollywood Reporter was one of the few media types to gain admission to the premiere of “The Undefeated,” which is appropriate because he’s one of the few honest reporters out there. He also had the opportunity

Today, you can’t swing a dead cat at the movie theater without hitting another big budget adaptation of a comic book property. I remember when I was a kid, I’d lurk around the local comic book shop and devouring any

No matter what your background, everyone faces two of the same basic life choices: how to be sure you’ve found your perfect life partner, and how to find a life path that’s meaningful. But what if you think you’ve got

In order to not make the pro-American films that so offend them, Leftist Hollywood lies and tells us pro-America doesn’t sell at what we’re told is the increasingly important foreign box office. And the hopelessly butt-boy entertainment media is always

I just saw the new Matt Damon flick, The Adjustment Bureau, and wanted to like it. I really wanted to like it. But I didn’t. Like many films, The Bureau is based on a fantastic ruse: Somewhere out there a

A young politician’s life changes forever when he is confronted with a new reality in the drama “The Adjustment Bureau.” Matt Damon stars as a Congressman who discovers that his life is being manipulated by a group of “adjusters” who

George Nolfi has been one of Hollywood’s hottest rising writers of intelligent action films, having had a hand in the smash hits “The Bourne Ultimatum” and “Ocean’s Twelve.” Working with Matt Damon on both of those films, he developed a

Let’s be clear – the upper echelons of Hollywood are dominated by weirdos, losers and mutations. I’m not judging – I live in LA, so naturally some of my best friends are weirdos, losers and mutations. I’m simply pointing out

Like a lot of middle-aged family men who sometimes pine for their days of care-free bachelorhood, I find myself drawn to the HBO series Entourage as a vehicle through which I can vicariously channel my long-gone youth – this time

Because we’re fans of “Gone Baby Gone,” “The Town,” and feel he was unfairly destroyed by the gossip press (and the all kinds of awesome “Reindeer Games”), Big Hollywood has been good to Ben Affleck. So we’d like to respectfully

Yesterday I walked into my local supermarket to find they already had a massive Christmas tree up ornamented with gift cards. Yes, it’s quickly approaching “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” and that means gifts to buy, preferably before

It looks like Matt Damon’s been overdosing on Kool-Aid again. He’s apparently doing the bidding now for the ACORN spawn, Working Families Party. Watch as he asks you for his birthday present. [youtube 24m1PZ9iZoY] I’m about to celebrate a very

I have to admit I never cared for the action films back in the eighties. They seemed silly and mindless. The two biggest stars of the genre, Schwarzenegger and Stallone were barely capable of English; and the plots were as

Five years ago, had anyone told me that one of the films I’d be most excited about in the far-off year of 2010 would be directed by and star Ben Affleck… Well, you all get where this is leading. But
