Deadline is reporting Ben Affleck is teaming up with Geoff John s to co-write a stand-alone Batman movie that Affleck will direct and star in after he completes his longstanding plan to helm his scripted adaptation of the Dennis Lehane novel Live By Night. Johns has about as much comic cred as anybody around. He’s DC Comics’ chief creative officer and has written some of its best remembered comic book series including Green Lantern, Aquaman, Batman, Justice League, The Flash and Superman. He also has written TV series superhero transfers Smallville, Arrow and The Flash, as well as the Supergirl project with Greg Berlanti for CBS. Affleck and Johns are well in synch and have more than found their rhythm. In fact, they are likely to turn in a script before the end of the summer, prior to Affleck going off to direct Live By Night in November. Affleck postponed that pic to star in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice . The Batman movie would shoot after he finishes Live By Night, an

The enjoyable action/thriller tries to be more than it ultimately produces. Review by Matt Cummings Actor Ryan Reynolds is undoubtedly one of Hollywood's biggest mysteries. Known for his good looks and likable on-screen presence, Reynolds has recently made several poor vehicles that have nothing to show off his abilities. Sans the very good Safe House , it's been one misstep after another. And don't even get me started on Green Lantern . Although Self/Less is nothing close to that disaster, it vacillates between action and smart technological thriller, doing neither particularly well. When the New York billionaire Damien (Ben Kingsley) learns of his terminal cancer, he ventures to a facility that promises to extend his life in a most peculiar way: they will transfer his persona and memories into a genetically-grown body. Soon, Damien is the 40 years-younger Edward (Reynolds), who piles his way through a second youth of booze, women, and general high livin

The undeniable voice and tragic end of Amy shed an uncompromising light. Review by Matt Cummings In Director Asif Kapadia's documentary Amy , we learn how fame, fortune, and deep-seeded family problems extinguished the bright light that was Singer Amy Winehouse. The Brit was far more than her #1 topper Rehab , her sultry voice turning young heads and even encouraging veterans like Tony Bennett to record with her. But beneath the paparazzi, long eye shadow, and hair extensions was a troubled woman whose problems started early and were ignored by her family until it was too late. Tracing her early life through home movies and on-the-road videos, we learn how Winehouse quickly rose from her North London borough to the heights of popularity. We're there when she takes home a handful of Grammys, but we also see the signs that will eventually undo her: an absent father, an enabling mother, and a husband with addiction problems of his own. Like a blended drink, Wi

The pretty prequel loses steam after a hilarious opening, but the kids will love it. Review by Matt Cummings There's no denying the power of Illumination Entertainment's Despicable Me franchise as one of the most beloved by kids. Released in 2010, it gained a tremendous and nearly instant following, not because of Gru (voiced by Steve Carrell), but because of the Minions. Those yellow buffoons who utter incomprehensible words while doing insanely stupid things has led us to this point: their own standalone movie. As a movie, Minions is perhaps one of the most beautiful and realistic animated movies ever made, but you'll soon want to remove the batteries powering these idiots, as their shtick can't power an entire movie. Revealing that the yellow rubber dudes are actually immortal, we follow their adventures as they try desperately to serve one madman after another, beginning with a T-Rex, then a caveman, and eventually Napoleon, all of whom they accide

The horror flick The Gallows finds multiple ways to hang itself. WARNING: Review contains spoilers. Review by Matt Cummings The Gallows is bad. I mean awful. But the worst part is that it didn't need to be. The low-low-low budget horror flick has a plot that sounds devilishly delightful, but its execution is hack, its character thoroughly unlikable, and its reveal serving as nothing more than a cheap money grab. On the 20th anniversary of an accidental hanging during a high school play, the teens Ryan (Ryan Shoos), Reese (Reese Mishler), and Cassidy (Cassidy Grifford) attempt to sabotage a revival of the production, only to learn that Ryan's crush Pfeifer (Pfeifer Ross) and her possessed mother have other plans. Although the three will eventually be hung, they fight to escape while unknowingly harboring the very thing which might have caused the original tragedy in the first place. Not since 2014's Tusk have I seen a film where I was actually rootin

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 panel Thursday at Comic-Con began with cheers, banging drums, and footage of Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen in her red Mockingjay suit. We’ll be updating throughout the panel, which is being moderated by Conan O’Brien with Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Willow Shields , director Francis Lawrence, and producer Nina Jacobson in attendance — keep refreshing for updates: “It’s tough, we all wish there were seven or eight books instead of three,” producer Nina Jacobson said of bringing the franchise to a close. “We want to deliver for the fans.” See all the highlights after the Jump... Director Francis Lawrence: “War is under way…this is where Katniss gets back in the action.” Debut of the first full-length trailer, which is very intense and action-heavy, with explosions and arrows flying. Jennifer Lawrence has trouble picking a favorite Hunger Games moment (Shields suggests “I volunteer as tribute!”), says it’s in
