Hey,Robert De Niro...."What Just Happened"

Is it possible? Can this be the next great Bobby D flick? I can only hope. I don't like the uneasy feeling I get, these days, when I see a trailer for an up-coming De Niro movie. Long gone, it seems, are the days of "The Deer Hunter", "Raging Bull", "Good Fellas", "Heat", etc. Don't get me wrong, he hasn't fallen completely of the stage, but the level of anticipation has waned. Where's the De Niro that just grabbed you and shook you to the core. You know what I mean...? He delivered the single greatest baseball bat beating in movie history! Don't get me wrong, I liked "Stardust" (Looooove me some Claire Danes.), "The Score", and "Meet the Parents", but those aren't great movies. This new Barry Levinson deal, seems like more middle of the road stuff. Hopefully some of the new talent in Hollywood can re-awaken that old fire. Sphere: Related Content
