Ben Affleck hopped on a private jet and headed straight from the Haiti telethon to Sundance on Friday night, where he braved a blizzard and arrived late to his premiere but still graciously stuck around the red carpet to talk to the press.

Movie Preview: Ben Affleck in The Company Men
I'll be bundling up and heading to Park City, UT, next week for the Sundance Film Festival, and one of the movies I'm excited about is The Company Men. Ben Affleck plays a stereotypical corporate executive — sleek suit, perfect family, gorgeous house in the suburbs — who must reassess his life after he's been laid off. Tommy Lee Jones and Chris Cooper star as his colleagues, with Maria Bello and Craig T.
The Garner-Afflecks Settle Into Their Boston Routine
Jennifer Garner took Violet swimming and then out to lunch in Boston yesterday while Ben headed off for another day of filming. He changed out of his flannel shirts into a suit, looking very corporate while talking on the phone.

While Ben Affleck was busy filming The Company Men with Kevin Costner in Boston yesterday, his ladies were across town having a play date in the park. Fresh off a trip to DC where she spent time with her mom, Jennifer was back to tending to her own little ones and giving Violet a few pushes on the swings. Ben and Jen are expected back in Washington this weekend for the White House Correspondents' Dinner, but for now the family can savor the springtime moments in Ben's hometown.

Ben Affleck Gets in the Game
Ben Affleck showed off his football skills yesterday on the set of The Company Men, impressively managing to stay clean in his suit.

Jen Holds Down the Fort While Her Company Man Works
Ben Affleck and Kevin Costner chatted on the set of The Company Men in Ben's hometown of Boston yesterday.
