Movie Reviews and Previews Jason Bourne’s Fight Club The Super Bowl Trailer Apocalypse continues with the first look at Matt Damon’s return as Jason Bourne, in a movie creatively titled Jason Bourne. That is a seriously sh*t title, but I suppose after making an off-brand Bourne movie without Jason, they need to remind everyone that THIS By Sarah • Feb 08, 2016 01:06 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Step aside, Ben, it’s Casey’s turn It is my opinion that between the Affleck brothers, Casey is the better all-around actor. He can do character work, he can carry as a lead, he can disappear into roles or look sufficiently Hollywood, depending on how “visible” you want your star to be. Ben Affleck has proven to By Sarah • Jan 25, 2016 03:24 pm
Award Season Campaigning Matt Damon went to lose It’s done. Leonardo DiCaprio will win his first Oscar for being cold and snotty in The Revenant. By now his lead is pretty much insurmountable and, as Sarah noted a couple of weeks ago, the voters probably just want to get it over with so he stops trying to By Lainey • Jan 18, 2016 09:40 am
Golden Globes 2016 Matt Damon: way back in second As expected, Matt Damon won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Comedy last night. The entire room knew that Leo was going to take Best Actor Drama. So his goal was to use his speech to present himself as an alternative to the Academy. Hey, you put me By Lainey • Jan 11, 2016 09:39 am
Media Manipulation Matt Damon is coming for Leo That might be a little wishful thinking from Sarah and me. But… well… you decide. Matt Damon was in New York last night to accept the Best Actor Award from the National Board of Review. Earlier today, I posted about how he credited Sly Stallone for his career – click here By Lainey • Jan 06, 2016 04:54 pm
BFFs Matt Damon for Ridley Scott The director-actor partnership you’ve been hearing most about during this award season has been Inarritu-DiCaprio. Alejandro is the auteur who’d only shoot in natural daylight, or something like that, and, word is, made the shoot a “living hell”, to the point where some crew members walked off the By Lainey • Jan 04, 2016 10:13 am
Movie Reviews and Previews SAG nominations – Film Leonardo DiCaprio, one step closer. As expected, he secured a Screen Actors Guild Nomination today for Best Actor along with Johnny Depp, Michael Fassbender, and Eddie Redmayne. As for that fifth spot… Bryan Cranston over Matt Damon and Will Smith. SAG loves Bryan Cranston. They’ve awarded him for Walter By Lainey • Dec 09, 2015 02:56 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Matt’s back Yesterday was World AIDS Day. Jimmy Kimmel dedicated his entire show last night to fundraising for RED. Bono was there. Scarlett Johansson showed up to sing with Barry Manilow. Olivia Wilde helped out and played a home shopping host. And then there was Matt Damon. As you know, Matt and By Lainey • Dec 02, 2015 11:40 am
Media Manipulation Thanksgiving Bourne Matt Damon is in Berlin this week continuing to work on the new Bourne and, seemingly, staying away from awards campaigning. Which certainly makes him look a lot less hungry for it than, say, Leonardo DiCaprio. But considering that there might be a 6th man out in the Best Actor By Lainey • Nov 27, 2015 12:46 pm
Matt Damon Jason Bourne is angry…again Matt Damon continues to work on the new Bourne movie in London. Do we have a title for this yet? I don’t think we have a title yet. They’re calling it Bourne 5 for now. Whatever it will eventually be labelled, Jason Bourne looks pissed. This is pretty By Lainey • Nov 10, 2015 02:58 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Martian is a contender So many films did not meet critical and box office expectations this season. The Martian, however, delivered. You might say it over-delivered. Three months ago, no one was calling it an Oscar frontrunner. Now? The Martian is Ridley Scott’s most well-reviewed film. And it’s on track to make By Lainey • Nov 09, 2015 02:05 pm
Girlcrushes Effie Brown and Matt Damon are not super best friends The last time we talked about Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s HBO revival of Project Greenlight, it was about #mattsplaining and Damon’s dumb remarks about diversity hiring on a film set, which he directed at Effie Brown, an African-American producer. Now, as the show heads toward its finale, By Sarah • Oct 14, 2015 01:09 pm
BFFs Matt’s big weekend The Martian won the box office this weekend with a $55 million debut on strong reviews, reaffirming Matt Damon’s movie star power and popularity and lifting the Mars curse. The numbers also improve The Martian’s Oscar chances at being included among the 10 possible Best Picture candidates, just By Lainey • Oct 05, 2015 10:41 am
BFFs Matt feels Ben’s pain The Martian comes out tomorrow. Variety reports that it’s been outselling Gravity in advance tickets. Some are projecting an opening weekend box office in the low $40s and others are thinking it might go all the way into the $50s. Oh and NASA told us they found water or By Lainey • Oct 01, 2015 11:16 am
Dumbass Matt Damon’s career in 8 minutes Matt Damon was on The Late Late Show with James Corden last night acting out his career in 8 minutes. They opened with Good Will Hunting which, I mean, I understand, you want to open strong. But I would have moved Bourne up to the top and maybe ended with By Lainey • Sep 30, 2015 11:16 am
Style The Martian & James McAvoy The cast of The Martian, led by Matt Damon, was in London tonight for the UK premiere. So far the reviews for The Martian have been quite strong. Sarah saw it at TIFF and liked it a lot and Sarah’s hard to please. But when I saw her after By Lainey • Sep 24, 2015 05:22 pm
