Sopranos director Allen Coulter's feature-film debut weaves a dark, stylish tale of Tinseltown tawdriness out of the strange inconsistencies surrounding the death of TV Superman George Reeves. Coulter's film is really two movies in one: The first poignantly charts the career of Reeves (a perfectly cast Ben Affleck), an ambitious but marginally talented actor whose only break simultaneously made him a star and ended his dream of becoming a serious actor. The second, which is better acted but only half as interesting, follows a fictional private eye's (Adrien Brody) investigation into the fallen hero's suspicious shooting death.

How Ben Affleck "Suited Up" as Hollywoodland's Superman

Recently, Ben Affleck seemed to be better known for his romantic involvements than his talents on screen. But with Hollywoodland (available now on DVD), the actor is changing all that. The fact-based flick, detailing the mysterious death of ‘50s Superman George Reeves, earned Affleck great reviews and a Golden Globe nod (for best supporting actor). More importantly, this dark Tinseltown tale reminds audiences that Affleck was delivering fine performances — in films such as Chasing Amy and Good Will Hunting — long before read more
