This episode, we have another psychotic romance for you with 2000\u2032s Bounce<\/i>. One of Miramax\u2019s 2000 awards-hopeful misfires (which ultimately led to the rise of Chocolat<\/i>), the film stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck as two would-be lovers brought together by a plane crash – only she doesn\u2019t know that he\u2019s the one that gave a ticket to his now-dead husband. At the time, the film was sold almost exclusively on the former relationship between the stars and ultimately that was all it got attention for.<\/p>\n
Bounce<\/i> was also somewhat of a downshift in critical affection for writer-director Don Roos after the prickly Indie Spirits favorite The Opposite of Sex<\/i>. Though this film sparks with some of his sharp dialogue, Bounce<\/i> suffers from too many plot contrivances to make the love story less queasy. In the end, a heavy hitter year in the lead acting categories easily shut out the two stars out already dealing with backlash after their Oscar wins.<\/p>\n
We also take a look back at the fits and restarts of Affleck\u2019s career from the perfect casting of Gone Girl<\/i> to the almost matinee idol days of Armageddon<\/i>, discuss the era that was Brunette Gwyneth, and we return to our beloved Blockbuster Entertainment Awards.<\/p>\n
