It's a challenge to name an actor more beloved than Robin Williams. A truly versatile performer, his talent is one that many audiences will never see again in their lifetime. He could make you laugh, cry, or cry from laughing and infinitely more in between, bringing joy to so many through his work. With dramatic performances in films like Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets Society, and The Fisher King, audiences realized there was poignant depth to his larger-than-life persona.

Ben Stiller puts a major part of his time into his career as a director these days and he has some amazing projects in his portfolio. Stiller directed acclaimed films like Tropic Thunder and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. He also served as the director and executive producer of the AppleTV+ series, Severance. However, there were a few scripts he had to turn down for reaching such height in his filmmaking career and some of them turned out to be huge successes.

A decade before Knight and Day was released, a movie like it would have killed with audiences: Come on, it starred Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz and looked to perfectly mash humor and action in a way that so few male/female-led action-comedies had for years. Yet, it didn’t connect. But why? There are a lot of reasons, really, and not just, as Roy Miller would say, “one of those things.” Through lousy marketing, hokey promotion, poorly timed sneak previews, and even Katie Holmes, Knight and Day fizzled, less “beautiful dress” than beautiful mess…But it did at least inspire a Bollywood remake, so suck on that, Vanilla Sky! Let’s find out: What Happened to this Movie?!

Hollywood rivalries are quite common between A-listers, given the perpetual competition in the entertainment industry. Therefore, throwing light upon the subtle beef between Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg, let’s find out if the latter could ever possibly break the former’s box office record.

Admitting to a growing tension between him and the Boston boys Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg noted feeling competitive around them. Considering them as his rivals in the industry, Wahlberg even claimed to try and outdo them. While it might be easy to outperform Affleck at the box office, it seems impossible for the actor to topple Damon’s box office game.

While winning one Oscar in any category is an achievement for any celebrity in a lifetime, Ben Affleck has laid his hands on the coveted golden statuette twice in two different disciplines. The actor won his first Oscar with Matt Damon for the pair’s brilliant screenplay in Good Will Hunting. Years later, Affleck picked up his second award when his directorial Argo which he also produced, won Best Picture.

While the true story impressed many critics and audiences, it also led to polarizing views and divisive opinions regarding the execution of its narrative in certain parts. Nevertheless, one seemingly irrelevant moment featuring a Led Zeppelin track proves that the film and Affleck deserved to win top honors.

Nick Cheuk’s debut feature was a small film about a very big topic.
For Time Still Turns the Page, the Hong Kong director trained his focus on the issue of youth suicide, one that directly affected the filmmaker 14 years ago, when a friend at university died by suicide.
It’s a film that comes fraught with emotion, as it follows the story of a school teacher forced to face a tragedy from his past, and it has brought much acclaim for Cheuk, including the best new director award at the 60th Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan last year and a win in the same category at this year’s Asian Film Awards (AFAs), held Sunday in Hong Kong.

Winning an Oscar is one of the most significant achievements for anyone in the film industry. Actors dream of it and many directors make films with the prestigious award in mind. Like many things, however, the golden statue means the world to some and is insignificant to many. While some spend their entire lives looking forward to the day that they might win this trophy, many do win but do not hold much sentimentality to them.

Many actors have won the award but no longer have the trophy in their possession. Then there are those who simply lost it. It would seem that it is quite common for celebrities to not know the whereabouts of their Oscars after winning them.

"Dune" brought us the pale and terrifying villains of House Harkonnen. The enormous, pale, floating Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård) leads the house that stands in stark opposition to House Atreides, putting him in direct conflict with the surviving Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), who is seeking to strike back in the wake of his father's death and the fall of his family's power. Standing alongside the Baron is the savage Glossu "The Beast" Rabban (Dave Bautista), the Baron's nephew who has something to prove in "Dune: Part Two" after failing House Harkonnen in quite a humiliating fashion. That's why the Baron calls upon Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen (Austin Butler), another nephew who may have the ferocious, sadistic warrior's instinct required to keep Paul Atreides from becoming the revolutionary leader who threatens their stronghold in the "Dune" universe.

Now, it goes without saying that Dune: Part Two has many elements that set the film apart from its fellow Sci-Fi projects. However, it looks like Austin Butler’s villainous role has managed to steal all the limelight as critics applaud the actor for his performance. In fact, Austin Butler’s co-star, Stellan Skarsgård’s first impression of the actor in his Feyd-Rautha get-up proves why he was made to bring the villain to life.

Matt Damon's new thriller Drive-Away Dolls, directed by Ethan Coen, redeems his past failure working with the Coen Brothers. Drive-Away Dolls uses the Coen Brothers' style alongside a raunchy storyline and brutal deaths. While Matt Damon's role in Drive-Away Dolls is entertaining, his best role remains as La Beouf in the Coen Brothers' True Grit.
The new 2024 thriller with Matt Damon, Drive-Away Dolls, makes up for his $25 million bomb from seven years ago. Actor Matt Damon has worked in Hollywood for 36 years and has appeared in several prolific films, like Good Will Hunting, The Martian, and The Talented Mr. Ripley. The actor even won an Oscar in 1998 and the Joel Siegel Award in 2011, which is granted to an actor who uses their celebrity to do good for others.
However, like every great actor, not every one of Matt Damon’s movies is a success. Some of his biggest flops include The Brothers Grimm,...

Matt Damon’s resume can boast of some of the most critically and commercially successful films in the history of Hollywood, which makes him one of the most accomplished movie stars in the world. Joining him on that list is none other than his best friend and prolific actor Ben Affleck, who together with Damon, won their first Oscar award.

Ever since then, both stars have been seen several times sharing the screen and continuing to soar high in the industry. But in the past, Damon could’ve easily been part of one of the most critically acclaimed films that his friend was in and even directed, titled The Town. The reason why he rejected the role was because he didn’t like the script, while Affleck claimed that it was because he was too expensive for the project’s budget.

There are few performers in the history of film that have reinvented themselves for multiple generations of audiences quite like the late, great Robin Williams. While Williams has certainly been an icon of family entertainment thanks to his scene-stealing roles in Jumanji and Aladdin, he’s also a seasoned dramatic actor who earned serious awards acclaim for his more dramatic roles in films like Good Will Hunting, The Fisher King, and Dead Poets Society. A referring quality within Williams’ best roles is his inherently endearing personality, but he challenged notions about his persona with the dark comedy World’s Greatest Dad. While it would become one of the most fascinating risks of his career, Williams’ role in World’s Greatest Dad was originally only intended to be a cameo.

Amazon Prime Video has an array of great movies, from recent hits like Top Gun: Maverick to classics like Shrek and Good Will Hunting. While these are films that are sure to please a demanding audience, the streaming service also has a wide range of options for viewers. Quirky movies, for instance, are perfect entertainment for those looking for something absurd to watch.
Some of the weirdest movies on Amazon, like Burning and The Vast of Night, are thought-provoking and clever, leaving the audience with an odd but entertaining plot. On the other hand, dark comedies like Come To Daddy and Rubber are so strange it's hard for the audience to look away (even if they want to). These Amazon films are the best editions to the weird collection of strange but enticing storylines.

From its A-list leads like Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling down to cameos from the likes of Helen Mirren, Dua Lipa, and John Cena, Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” assembled one of the starriest casts of 2023. But according to Michael Cera, it could have been even bigger.
In a new appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Cera revealed that Ben Affleck was slated to make a cameo in the film for a key action sequence. When the “Good Will Hunting” star had to drop out to shoot “Air,” Cera was asked to step in and fight a crew of Kens doing construction work.
“I wasn’t even supposed to fight in the movie,” Cera said. “Am I allowed to say what it was supposed to be? It was supposed to be Ben Affleck. Am I allowed to say that? I think Ben wanted to do it, but he was directing his movie,...

The Dunkin’ Super Bowl Lviii commercial starring Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Tom Brady as part of an ultimate boyband dubbed ‘The DunKings’ became the talk of the town after its airing during the big game.
The ad sees the Argo alum and his newly-formed supergroup storm into Jennifer Lopez’s studio donning pink and orange tracksuits. They bust into some sick moves, and show off their musical chops with an original pop track, albeit to Matt Damon’s reluctance, who appeared to be second-guessing everything that led up to this moment.

Damon will be starring in a new crime thriller that will be helmed by Affleck, titled Animals, which is being planned as a Netflix release. The Good Will Hunting co-stars will also be producing the feature together under their Artists Equity banner, along with the company’s Dani Bernfeld.

Their next collaboration, "Animals," is set to release on Netflix, showcasing their continued partnership both in front of and behind the camera.

Since they co-wrote "Good Will Hunting," Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's real friendship has been an inseparable part of both their public images. Just last year, the two boys from Boston starred together in "Air" (Affleck directed), produced by their co-founded studio Artists Equity. Is there anything Ben loves more than his friend? Maaaaayyyybee Dunkin Donuts.
Dunkin is a Massachusetts staple (it was founded in Quincy). Mix that with some unfortunate paparazzi photos and Affleck's love for the coffee franchise is the stuff of memes.
To Affleck's credit, he's leaned into the joke -- and is making money off of it. At the 2023 Super Bowl, he played himself in a Dunkin Donuts commercial, now working at the establishment. Not for the salary, but for love of the game. Affleck is back at it in the Dunkin commercial from the 2024 Super Bowl, this time dragging Matt Damon in with him.

Matt Damon, the star of the Bourne franchise, has spoken out about his dissatisfaction with The Bourne Ultimatum, the third film in the franchise. Damon largely blames an incomplete and incohesive script for his dissatisfaction with the film, causing chaos and requiring additional writers to complete it. Although the Bourne franchise has struggled in recent years, Matt Damon may still be returning for the newly announced sixth entry.
Matt Damon is one of the most recognizable movie stars who can still headline major movies. After winning an Academy Award for screenwriting, which he shared with Good Will Hunting co-writer Ben Affleck, Damon's talent catapulted him to superstar status. Not long after, he starred as Jason Bourne in the action-thriller franchise named for his character. The original three movies were based on the novels written by Robert Ludlum about a CIA operative who suffers amnesia after a failed assassination.

Ben Affleck’s brand ambassadorship for Dunkin’ leveled up during Sunday’s 2024 Grammys with the debut of the star’s latest spot for the coffee and donut shop chain launching an apparent campaign in which the actor follows in his wife’s footsteps to become a pop star.
The ad, which also features social media star Charli D’Amelio, comes a year after the famous Sad Affleck meme emerged at the 2023 Grammys; the viral moment came when the show’s broadcast caught the actor’s despondent and distant expression as wife Jennifer Lopez danced joyfully next to him.
“Keep laughing,” the actor now says in Sunday night’s spot, as he’s watching a news report about that Grammys moment. ”’He’s bored.’ No — he’s studying, always watching. I can do that. How hard can it be?” Then, in a rapid-fire montage, the 30-second spot shows Affleck in a recording studio,...

Son of a bitch…He stole my line — and ad-libbed it, too. We all know Robin Williams was a habitual improv artist on the set, giving his own spin on lines and scenes as only he could. But this wasn’t just in comedies and for Disney animation; he also did it in dramas, namely 1997’s Good Will Hunting.
Good Will Hunting director Gus Van Sant revealed that Robin Williams loved going off script so much that he would beg to do so. “Robin had a lot of ideas. His only problem was he wanted to do a lot of takes — a slow one, a fast one, a funny one, a funny fast one, a funny slow one. … He knew that in the editing, they need that kind of stuff. But if I get a good take, I try to stop. He’d get me up to seven or eight just by begging,...

It has been nothing shy of an abysmal start at the box office this year. The first chunk of 2024 has been left largely devoid of big new releases (in no small part thanks to the strikes last year) and, as a result, ticket sales are down significantly. But director David Ayer and professional ass-kicker Jason Statham have stepped up to do their part as "The Beekeeper" has become the year's first true breakout hit. To that end, the action flicked passed the $100 million mark over the weekend, becoming the first new release of the year to do so.
"The Beekeeper" ended up topping the charts over the weekend with a $7.4 million haul, per Box Office Mojo. That is more of a commentary on the state of things as there were no new releases to entice audiences. So, we're left with a movie in its third weekend taking the top spot with a sub-$10 million total.

Gus Van Sant has taken on a few superlatives over the course of his 40-year career: indie provocateur, Palme d’Or-winning filmmaker and, per the late Robin Williams, “mellowest man in Hollywood.”
A label that long eluded the 71-year-old director, despite his line of work, was Angeleno. Van Sant built one of the more eclectic résumés in modern cinema while living in Oregon, his chosen home until just a few years ago. “There were a lot of water issues near the end — tsunami years at the beach house, flooding on the river in Portland,” he says, now safely 700-plus feet above sea level in the unassuming Hollywood Hills mid-century home that he now calls his primary residence. “Finally, I just sold it all and kind of never went back.”
