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! Starring his brother Casey Affleck (who's rather tasty and officially good thanks to that Oscar nomination) and Morgan Freeman among others, it's a mysterious drama and the plot involves a little girl going missing.
It came out in the US last October, but due to sensitivity to the Madeleine McCann news story the release date was pushed back over here. I'd highly recommend you see the movie, Amy Ryan was oscar-nominated for her role in the film and puts in a great performance, and Ben's directing ain't half bad either! For more detail on the plot, check out newlywed Molly's review over on Buzz. It's out here on June 6.

Thanks for the recommendation, Pop. I saw Casey Affleck in a couple of films only but actually liked him way more than his brother - I'm really curious to see what he's like as a director.
1No problem Advah! And I totally agree – I'm more of a Casey girl too. IMHO I think Ben's better behind the camera judging by this movie, and he's already got his next project picked out - The Blade Itself.
2Wow thanks for the Buzz link, for some reason I'd missed it, and the film sounds really good.
Not that Ben is a bad actor, but lately I've grown
tired of seeing him act all his characters more or less the same. I think Casey's way more subtle, plus he has a rather sexy voice. 
3Glad to find another Casey girl
