Ben’s Oscar Predications

Every year here at LonelyReviewer.com, we try to see how close we can get to predicting the Oscars. In years past, each of the bloggers have done their own list. This year, we decided we’d pick and feature one. Ben and I have always gone back and forth on whose picks are better, who gets …

RIP Paul Newman

It’s a sad day today not just for film  lovers, but for the world in general.  Paul Newman has died at age 83.  It’s usually big news when a movie star dies, for I somehow feel that this is much more than that.  Paul Newman was not only one of the greatest actors of his …

Edge of D’oh!

It’s funny, because I got a lot of flack for writing up my 10 Worst Robert DeNiro movies essay in which I said basically in a nutshell that he hasn’t been good for over 10 years and that I feared his best days were long long gone.  It’s like he doesn’t even try or care …

Edge of DeNiro Comeback?

Well, here is some good news for all your pissy pants who got all offended by my Top 10 worst DeNiro movies.  Looks like he has signed on for a leading role in the Mel Gibson comeback, Edge of Darkness. Bobby will play “an operative sent to clean up the evidence”, whatever that means.  The …

Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards has been wrung through the rumor machine over and over again.  We all know the insanity of getting Schwarzenegger, Stallone and Willis to team up, NOT promoting Planet Hollywood, but blowing up Nazi tanks with bazookas.  These three have been linked to this project since the dawn of time, but alas, …

1st Pic from ‘Ashecliffe’

Okay…I know this isn’t exactly earth-shattering, but it looks like the first pic of the newest Leo/Scorsese opus has been released.  This pic shows our good ole’ DeNiro substitute Leonardo DiCaprio holding a shotgun behind a fence, looking for God knows who.  The film is still being called Asheclliffe, which I really hope reverts back …

Bilbo Not a Dildo

Well…I guess there is a short list of names that Peter Jackson and Guillermo Del Toro have for the replacement of Ian Holm as Bilbo Baggins in the upcoming Hobbit and Hobbit 2. I’ve heard some pretty awful names tossed around (Jack Black!!??) but I actually think they might have picked a winner here. It …
