Robert DeNiro Gossip

You know what I said in today’s site intro about weekend viewing, watching, reading, and listening lists? Well next weekend it’s going to be HBO’s The Wizard Of Lies, the story of Bernie Madoff. Back in February, Radiolab (probably my favourite podcast) did an episode on Bernie Madoff called Ponzi Supernova Full Story

Knowing absolutely nothing about boxer Roberto Duran, I was intrigued going into his biopic, Hands of Stone. Biopics often work better the less you know about the subject—dramatic license is less distracting—but then, if the biopic is too broad and messy, you can feel even more lost because you have no frame of reference for what’s going on. Full Story

I’m going to follow up this post with one about Jake Gyllenhaal so please note that a comparison is coming. As we’ve seen, when Tom Hiddleston is promoting a movie, invited on talk shows, he’s the eager beaver… He becomes an exclamation point. Full Story

I’ve written several times recently about Titanic nostalgia. The movie means a lot to people, I get that. Which is why you lose your sh-t every time Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet find themselves at the same event. And since they’re both award season participants this year, we’re getting a lot of that. Full Story

It is time for a reckoning. It is time to stare into the darkest depths of the void and ask a question fundamental to humanity’s future. And that question is: How many movies can Zac Efron make before he triggers the apocalypse? We Are Your Friends is a torment Full Story

It’s Brange Week! Angelina Jolie was presented with the Wall Street Journal Innovator Award last night in New York. She and Brad Pitt attended the event and hung out with Robert De Niro and Anna Wintour. Tonight, as you know, By The Sea opens AFI Fest so they’ll be back in Hollywood on the carpet once again. Full Story

Nancy Meyers’s latest Upper East Side White People With Problems movie, The Intern, follows the likes of It’s Complicated and Something’s Gotta Give, except The Intern has been liberally doused with hipster flavor in an attempt to appeal to The Youths. Manhattan has been traded for Brooklyn—sorry, Brooklyn, as the location of a Nancy Meyers movie you are no longer hip—and the “people of a certain age” rom-com plot has been replaced with a platonic, inter-generational friendship between a thirty-something Millennial and a septuagenarian Baby Boomer. Full Story

Nancy Meyers’s The Intern opens this weekend starring Oscar winners Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway. Last night was the NY premiere. So far the reviews haven’t been great. They haven’t sucked, and Forbes says it’s “superb Full Story

Arnold Schwarzenegger wants journalists to #askhermore. (Her being Emilia Clarke, Mother of Dragons.) How blatant does the sexism need to be for grab-hands Arnold to notice? .@Emilia_Clarke's hair is gorgeous - I'm jealous. But we should focus a little on what a badass hero she is in @Terminator Full Story

The first trailer for The Intern, starring Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro, written and directed by Nancy Meyers, was released yesterday. And my first impression is that… This movie is manipulative! Anyone who has an aging dad will be manipulated. Because how do you not watch this and not think of your dad? I think of my dad, I worry about my dad. Full Story

In September, right after his wedding, Brad Pitt showed up in New York to shoot with Martin Scorsese. Click here to revisit those pictures. It was the orange hat, remember? At the time it was revealed that Scorsese was directing Pitt, Robert De Niro, and Leonardo DiCaprio and while they’re calling it a “short film”, really, as I said at the time, it’s commercial for a new casino opening up in Macau. Full Story
