Hello boys! Ben and Casey Affleck are over in the UK right now to promote their new collaboration. I really enjoyed
Gone Baby Gone when I had the chance to see it a few months ago, and was even more impressed as it's the directorial debut of Ben Affleck!
Ben Affleck and his brother Casey headed to London today to pose together for a photocall for
Gone Baby Gone. The movie came out in the states last year, but the release was held in the UK after the tragic disappearance of Madeleine McCann last May. While the subject matter is definitely heavy, we're hoping that audiences will still check out the film overseas, since those Affleck boys do pretty great things when they combine their talents.
Ben Affleck and Co. will again
team up to produce another crime thriller, though this time they're abandoning the Afflecks' beloved Boston and relocating to Chicago. Like Affleck's last project
Gone Baby Gone, this one's based on a gritty crime novel, Marcus Sakey's debut tome
The Blade Itself.
All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and
Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to the titles below you can view the thriller
We Own the Night starring Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg.
Ben Affleck looked more exhausted than ever
jetting from France to Spain to keep promoting his
Gone Baby Gone overseas. While he's been spending time abroad, his reps have been working to sort out a media mishap from Ben's
interview with Details magazine. Apparently the writer
misquoted Ben as saying that he'll leave LA if his movie isn't a success and that his movie is "really f—ing good."

Here's some commitment — as Ben's boys the Red Sox are on their World Series run he is off in Germany continuing to showcase his other baby,
Gone Baby Gone. Ben's been pretty tireless with the premieres, it's no question why he's looking so exhausted here alongside one of his movie's stars, Amy Ryan. Unless this European trip is a short one, it looks like Ben might miss his chance to watch this series live in person.

Note: After much pleading, Buzz let me go see this movie to review. Thanks, Buzz!
As a Boston area native, movies about the city usually fall within two distinct categories.

After Monday night's
cute friend-fest at the Boston premiere of
Gone Baby Gone, Ben and Casey sent Matt on his way to Japan and brought their movie to a NYC screening hosted by Details. Another GBG premiere night and another loss for the Red Sox; it's probably best for the boys not to be watching the games if they want to keep those smiles on their faces. The Brothers Affleck were joined on the red carpet by Amy Ryan, who stars in the film, Patricia Heaton and Sheryl Crow.

It was a triumphant homecoming for the Affleck brothers alongside Matt Damon and their wives at the Boston premiere of
Gone Baby Gone last night. Even while the boys' beloved Red Sox lost game 3 of the ACLS to the Indians in Cleveland (sad), there was nothing but happy in the house. There's every reason for the Affleck boys to be in good spirits — the movie is getting great reviews (check back at the end of the week to read mine on
Buzz).

The beautiful Affleck brothers were wifeless but happy for the red carpet premiere of their
Gone Baby Gone in LA last night. We know the pressure of this movie has
given Ben some some stress, but it looks like he's finally maybe relaxed a little bit. He certainly deserves it, too, the movie is still
getting great reviews — yay.
