He's Just Not That Into You | | | Starring: Jennifer Aniston Ben Affleck Director: Ken Kwapis | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 6/2/2009 |  | He's Just Not That Into You - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Ed Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 6/15/2009 2:33 AM | | The weakness in movies about dating or relationship problems is that they typically star amazing looking Hollywood starlets. Credibility is killed almost immediately when you try to make people believe Ginnifer Goodwin, Scarlett Johansson, and Drew Berrymore are having trouble finding guys who take them out or return their calls. Beyond that, though, is when a movie like He's Just Not That Into You is too lazy to do anything but toss every relationship movie cliche ever seen into one big salad. read the full review | |

Numerous articles have been written over the years criticizing Ben Affleck's poor choices pertaining to his acting career. Google Gigli if you care to sample some slams. But Affleck's Gone, Baby, Gone should temporarily reverse the negative flow of copy for it finds the first-time filmmaker making a number of intelligent decision from the director's hot seat. His best decision comes early. By adapting novelist Dennis Lehane's Boston-based thriller, Affleck commits to material that fits him like a glove. Affleck adores his hometown -- warts and all -- and Gone becomes as much an ode to the city as Lehane intended. The Gone plot details a bleak search for a kidnapped child. read the full review | |

 | | 21. Changing Lanes | | | Starring: Ben Affleck Samuel L. Jackson Director: Roger Michell | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/17/2006 |  | Changing Lanes - DVD Review By: David Levine - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/8/2009 5:39 PM | |
After watching the trailer for Changing Lanes, I expected a film similar to Steven Spielbergs road rage drama Duel, where a hatchback and a semi do battle. While Changing Lanes is definitely a clash between two men, much to my surprise, it reaches a deeper and more satisfying level. Changing Lanes is a thought-provoking, sophisticated drama that explores the motivations behind our split second decision-making and the consequences that result. Ben Affleck is Gavin Banek, a young Wall Street attorney on the fast track to becoming partner at his father-in-laws well-respected law firm. read the full review | |

You could see the end coming before your ass got the seat warm. Would this be a waste of your time? Only if you were wasted and had better things to do. If you are stuck in jury duty and its on one of those big TVs in the back, it would give you something to bitch about to the other jurors beside the fact that you're in jury duty.

Yeah, that's Ben Affleck grinning out at you from the cover of this direct-to-DVD release, but don't let that turn you off of the film completely. Man About Town may be rehashed from Jerry Maguire, Taking Care of Business, and, well, about a half-dozen other well-trodden slapstick comedies, but don't let that get you down. Mike Binder, whose The Upside of Anger was a quiet gem just a year earlier, has enough of a sense of humor to overcome the Affleck-induced malaise that you might otherwise be expecting. read the full review | |

Both men find themselves unhappy with their own place in life despite having some success (Simo worked for a detective firm before and had a family; Reeves had "The Adventures of Superman"). The parallels become absolutely fascinating as both stories unfold and the similarities of the steps the men go through become so obvious, despite being in different career paths read the full review | |
