Movie Reviews and Previews Matt Damon poses Matt Damon was in LA yesterday doing a photo shoot for GQ dressed in a grey suit and posing on a bridge with a muscle car. Jason Bourne is coming out on July 29th. Presumably these pictures are for promotion for that movie. When was the last time Matt covered By Lainey • May 24, 2016 11:02 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Ben Affleck is Autistic Bourne Ben Affleck, as has been noted several times, has just been through one of his downward spirals. He’s had the crash—divorce, high-profile professional embarrassment—and now it’s time for The Climb. The Climb is the part Affleck thrives on, he just loves proving everyone wrong. He By Sarah • May 13, 2016 12:43 pm
Quiveration I saw him first… in London It’s not often we get pictures of Oscar Isaac who I saw first. So, even though I don’t have much to say, I’m posting these pictures anyway. Because he’s wearing a bomber and his hair is perfect and sometimes he has on his thinking face and By Lainey • May 09, 2016 04:11 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews You know who Jason Bourne is The first full trailer for the fourth Bourne movie—fifth if you count Jeremy Renner’s Bourne Legacy, which no one does—was just released and it’s got lots and lots of sweaty, glowering Matt Damon throwing punches and shooting people in the face. Sadly, this one does not By Sarah • Apr 21, 2016 01:29 pm
Oscars 2016 Matt Damon's Oscar date night I should say "Oscar date weekend". Matt Damon had two dates all weekend: his wife, Luciana, and his best friend, Ben. On Friday there was a big WME party - Ben goes often. Three years ago I heard he was pretty drunk there and flirting hard with a tall By Lainey • Feb 29, 2016 12:20 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Teasing and torturing Leonardo DiCaprio It was decided weeks and weeks ago – Leonardo DiCaprio will win Best Actor for being cold in The Revenant. Everybody knows this. Everyone in his category knows this. Even science knows this. Have you seen the Best Actor analysis on FiveThirtyEight? There’s basically no way he can lose at By Lainey • Feb 09, 2016 11:28 am
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 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 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 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
