Synopsis – A mob hitman recalls his possible involvement with the slaying of Jimmy Hoffa. My Take – As a cinephile it has been my constant regret for not having lived in the era when films like Taxi Driver or The Godfather or Dog Day Afternoon or Goodfellas appeared in cinemas, where I could witness actors like Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in their … Continue reading The Irishman (2019) Review!!!
The Golden Globe nominations have been announced for the 2020 ceremony. The Globes are somehow the second most popular film awards ceremony of the year next to the Oscars, despite the fact that they’re largely kind of a joke. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s reputation is far from pristine, and sweeping nominations for movies like The Tourist play into the notion that they mostly just care about … Continue reading ‘Marriage Story’ and ‘Joker’ Lead 2020 Golden Globe Nominations!!!

Are you sitting down, folks? The New York Film Festival has revealed that Martin Scorsese‘s The Irishman will boast a running time of… wait for it… 210 minutes. That is exactly 3-and-one-half-hours. You could literally watch Crank and Crank: High Voltage in that time frame, and still have roughly 10 minutes to spare. Now, I know what you’re thinking. 3.5 hours? That’s a lot of … Continue reading ‘The Irishman’ Run Time Clocks Up to 210 minutes!!!
Even though most movies pretty much vanish from your local multiplex after a month anyway, major theater chains are holding fast to their three-month release window even though in practice a film’s run is far shorter.

The movie stars … Continue reading ‘The Irishman’: Netflix in Talks with Major US Theaters for Release!!

Production on Martin Scorsese’s hugely anticipated The Irishman began way back in 2016, so we’re used to waiting around for this much ballyhooed reunion of the Oscar winning director and his big-hitting collaborators, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Harvey Keitel.

In the middle of the Oscars telecast on Sunday, where Netflix’s Roma took home three awards including Best Director, the streaming service took the opportunity to tout its big awards contender for next year: The Irishman.

While Alfonso Cuaron may be well on his way towards winning Netflix its first ever Best Picture Oscar, there’s already reason to believe the streaming service will be back in the awards race next year with The Irishman.

The film is an adaptation of the … Continue reading ‘The Irishman’: The Entire First Half of Scorsese’s Film Features De-Aged Versions of the Cast!!
Between the Coen brothers‘ The Ballad of Buster Scruggsand Alfonso Cuarón‘s Roma, Netflix has become a bit of a director’s playground these days. But that doesn’t mean you’re always stuck watching these films on a laptop screen. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) With Roma already in the middle of a theatrical run, THR reports that the streaming service’s next high-profile original film, Martin Scorsese‘s … Continue reading ‘The Irishman’: Martin Scorsese’s Netflix Film Set for a Theatrical Release!!!
Martin Scorsese has finally wrapped filming on his latest feature, The Irishman. The upcoming gangster movie is based on the book I Heard You Paint Houses, the story of hitman Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran.

Martin Scorsese has been a longtime advocate for film preservation, so it’s slightly ironic that his next film, The Irishman, may bypass theaters entirely on its way to Netflix. Netflix picked up the worldwide distribution rights for the film, which is based on the true story of hit-man Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran. The film has a reported production budget of at least $125 million to … Continue reading Martin Scorsese’s ‘The Irishman’ May Not Get a Theatrical Release!!!
I’ve never been interested in watching the Lethal Weapon TV series, but the concept makes sense. The film franchise had run out of gas, there hadn’t been a new entry since 1998, and the IP still had value as a buddy-cop comedy. It’s not like anyone would be crazy enough to get Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, and director Richard Donner back for a Lethal Weapon … Continue reading ‘Lethal Weapon 5’ Has Interest from Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, and Richard Donner!!!
At this point, there’s little more promising in American cinema than the next Martin Scorsese movie. Even with the new Paul Thomas Anderson project less than three moths away and Wes Anderson‘s Isle of Dogs prepped to arrive a few months after that, it’s Scorsese’s The Irishman that invites the most anticipation. For old-school fans of Scorsese, the very fact that the movie sees him … Continue reading ‘The Irishman’ Set Photos Reveal Martin Scorsese Working with Joe Pesci and More!! Check It Out!!

Robert De Niro stars as hitman Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran, who confessed to the real story of … Continue reading Joe Pesci Finally Signs on to ‘The Irishman’ as Martin Scorsese Solidifies Cast!!!

A long-gestating project might just be coming together ahead of Cannes, a movie that would reteam Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese with his Goodfellas stars Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, and would mark the first time that the director would work with Al Pacino.

The Irishman, based on Charles … Continue reading Martin Scorsese’s ‘The Irishman’ Coming Together with De Niro, Pacino, and Pesci!!
