Robert De Niro did Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Casino. Just mull that over for a second. Now he’s doing farce fare like Dirty Grandpa and The Intern. When reviews about Dirty Grandpa say “Robert De Niro hits rock-bottom opposite Zac Efron in this atrocious excuse for a comedy” and “‘Dirty Grandpa’ is another unfunny Robert De Niro debacle,” you need to rexamine your career choices.

De Niro is still capable of fine performances with talented writers/filmmakers. “The Comedy” hopefully will be another fine performance by De Niro like “King of… Read more »

there is an enjoyably bad thriller KILLING SEASON

lol Killing Season is actually a guilty pleasure of mine…even with Travolta’s horrific accent.
