Dirty Grandpa (Blu-ray Review)

May 22, 2016 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Starring: Zac Efron, Robert De Niro, Zoey Deutch, Aubrey Plaza, Jason Mantzoukas
Director: Dan Mazer
Running Time: 102 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: May 23rd 2016 (UK)

I suppose it’s a bit much to expect a film called Dirty Grandpa to be anything except dirty and about a grandpa. However, despite the fact he’s spent most of the past 20 years phoning it in, it’s difficult not to hold out hope that with Robert De Niro onboard it’s going to be more than just a series of slightly random gross-out jokes and comedy that’s more annoying than funny. Unfortunately, it isn’t.

Jason (Zac Efron) is an uptight lawyer, a week away from marrying an equally uptight woman. It’s also his grandmother’s funeral. He gets roped in to driving his grandfather, Dick (De Niro), to Florida for his annual vacation. However, once on the road, it becomes clear the 72-year-old isn’t intending for a couple of weeks of sun and shuffleboard while reminiscing about his late wife – he wants to get laid and party.

Dirty Grandpa Red Band Trailer – Zac Efron & Robert De Niro get a little bit naughty

November 19, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

dirty-grandpa-red-band-slideA couple of weeks ago we had a trailer for Dirty Grandpa, but now the red band version is here to let us know that Robert De Niro is going to swear a lot in the finished movie, and that Zac Efron’s CGI undies from the first promo won’t be around in the final article.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Jason Kelly [Zac Efron] is one week away from marrying his boss’s uber-controlling daughter, putting him on the fast track for a partnership at the law firm. However, when the straight-laced Jason is tricked into driving his foul-mouthed grandfather, Dick [Robert De Niro], to Daytona for spring break, his pending nuptials are suddenly in jeopardy.

‘Between riotous frat parties, bar fights, and an epic night of karaoke, Dick is on a quest to live his life to the fullest and bring Jason along for the ride. Ultimately, on the wildest journey of their lives, “dirty” Grandpa and his uptight grandson discover they can learn from one another and form the bond they never had.’

The movie will be in UK cinemas on January 22nd.

Dirty Grandpa Trailer – Zac Efron gets buff & Robert De Niro, erm, doesn’t

October 28, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

dirty-grandpa-slide1Robert De Niro is back in comedy territory, but this time he’s got a very good looking grandson, as Zac Efron co-stars in Dirty Grandpa.

Efron plays a young man who’s about to get married, but who following the death of his grandmother is tricked into driving his granddad (De Niro), a perverted former Army general, to Florida for spring break. It’s cross-generation odd couple time, as Efron’s character is uptight while De Niro likes to have fun and party.

I think you can probably already tell what direction the film is taking.

The first trailer has arrived, which actually tones down the movie a little, including adding CG underwear onto Efron at one point (previous set photos have shown he was really wearing skin-coloured ‘nude’ underpants so he should be more naked in the movie). [Read more…]

Joy Trailer – Jennifer Lawrence invents the miracle mop for director David O. Russell

October 21, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

joy-teaser-posterJennifer Lawrence reunites with director David O. Russell (American Hustle, Silver Linings Playbook) with a new film – all about mops. Well, sort of, as it’s about the inventor of the Miracle Mop, although as the trailer shows, it’s perhaps more mob movie (with a dash of comedy) than flowery biopic.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘JOY is the wild story of a family across four generations centered on the girl who becomes the woman who founds a business dynasty and becomes a matriarch in her own right. Betrayal, treachery, the loss of innocence and the scars of love, pave the road in this intense emotional and human comedy about becoming a true boss of family and enterprise facing a world of unforgiving commerce. Allies become adversaries and adversaries become allies, both inside and outside the family, as Joy’s inner life and fierce imagination carry her through the storm she faces. Jennifer Lawrence stars, with Robert De Niro, Bradley Cooper, Edgar Ramirez, Isabella Rossellini, Diane Ladd, and Virginia Madsen. Like David O. Russell’s previous films, Joy defies genre to tell a story of family, loyalty, and love.’

Joy is in UK cinemas 1st January 2016. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

The Intern (Cinema Review)

October 1, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Robert De Niro, Anne Hathaway, Rene Russo, Anders Holm
Director: Nancy Meyers
Running Time: 121 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: October 2nd 2015 (UK)

I’ll come clean straight away, we have two problems here. In my humble opinion Nany Meyers’ The Holiday was a true low point in cinema, an absolutely wretched affair – lazy, clichéd, corny, utterly without charm and with dialled in performances. Problem 2 is the De Niro syndrome – what on earth happened to the actor who everyone agreed was the finest of his generation. Pacino has his many fans, but De Niro admirers simply mutter Raging Bull and that’s the argument won. So how has this man gone from that peak to decades, literally decades, of mediocre, middling dramas and simply unfunny comedies?

Actually there’s a third problem here, the film’s central idea, which has, in true Hollywood tradition, been done before, and very recently. It’s The Devil Wears Prada, but this time with Anne Hathaway in the Meryl Streep role, and De Niro in the junior position lately vacated by the over-promoted…Anne Hathaway! [Read more…]

Bradley Cooper May Go On Honeymoon With Harry As His Directorial Debut

January 12, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bradley-cooperIn the last few years Bradley Cooper has had plenty of success in front of the camera, but now he’s looking to turn director and according to Deadline he may have found the right project, Honeymoon With Harry.

If he does take it on, he’s also likely to star, and may also reunite with Silver Linings Playbook co-star Robert De Niro for the movie.

The script has been around for a while and both Cooper & De Niro took part in a table read back in 2010, however it’s only now that Warner Bros. is really trying to push it into production.

He follow is about ‘a formerly self-centered womanizing booze-hound who changed his ways when he met a girl and fell in love. He’s loathed by the girl’s dad, who recognizes himself in the young man. They get engaged anyway. When she dies tragically just before their wedding, the devastated groom heads off on their honeymoon to drown his sorrows and drink himself to death. Who does he meet but his almost father-in-law, who has come to spread his daughter’s ashes on her favorite beach.’

De Niro would play the father.

At the moment it’s just one of several projects Cooper is eyeing as his directorial debut, but currently seems to be the frontrunner.

Edgar Ramirez Has Joy Alongside Jennifer Lawrence In David O. Russell’s Biopic

December 9, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

edgar-ramirezAfter a few years flirting on the edges of Hollywood following his acclaimed performance in Carlos, Edgar Ramirez is in talks for a major role in David O. Russell’s joy, according to THR.

He joins Jennifer Lawrence and Robert De Niro in the movie, which is a biopic of Joy Mangano, a struggling Long Island single mom of three who became one of the country’s most successful entrepreneurs with her self-wringing Miracle Mop invention. Annie Mumolo wrote the script about a woman who was working three jobs to try and support her family, and had to fight to get her invention recognised, but it eventually became a home shopping sensation, including her becoming one of the Home Shopping Network’s most successful presenters. Robert De Niro will play Joy’s father.

Assuming he signs on Ramirez will play her husband, Tony.

The actor has had small roles in the likes of Wrath Of The Titans, Zero Dark Thirty and The Bourne Ultimatum. However with his upcoming appearance as Bodhi in the remake of Point Break and now Joy, his star could be about the break big.

The film is due to shoot next February and may well be making an Oscar run at the end of 2015.
