Bobby D


Is De Niro ever going to make another great movie? I’m looking through his list of films on IMDB. In 1995, he made Casino and Heat. That was a good year, but that’s 11 years ago. Since then everything’s gone south. It's bitterly disappointing. What’s up with that? He did The Score in 2001. That was only fun for two reasons: 1) it had Brando in it and 2) it was filmed in Montreal. (OK, Ed Norton was alright but don’t get me started on what I think about his performances lately…)

Why isn’t Bobby D hooking up with Marty S again? I know Leo is now Marty’s muse, but come on, a nice meaty supporting role for Bobby, for old times sake.

And stop with the comedies. De Niro should’ve made only one comedy in his life. The one with Charles Grodin…Midnight Run. That should’ve been it.

Is this the first time I complain about De Niro? I can’t remember. I know I always feel like complaining about him, but this may be the first time I actually got around to doing it. Do you think he cares that he’s disappointed me? Short answer: No.

Despite the presence of Monsieur Reno, Ronin just wasn't that great. Although it had some good chase scenes, I think.

I don't want Leo dead! Just pushed to the side a bit.
