Robert De Niro's children don't care that their dad is famous. The 66-year-old actor said his children "aren't too impressed" with their Oscar-winning father and don't talk about his work. He said: "My kids aren't too impressed with me. They don't say very much about my career. Sometimes they Google me, though. And who knows what their friends say?" De Niro has four children and one adopted daughter from three relationships, and said part of the reason could be that they weren't brought up in the Hollywood bubble. He said: "We had a house there, my first wife and our oldest kids. But I never really lived in it much. I like to visit Los Angeles., but I wouldn't »

Entertainment Weekly has uncovered the supposed casting for the upcoming live-action/hybrid adventure that will bring the lovable picnic basket thief Yogi Bear to the big screen. The Hanna-Barbera cartoon will be adapted into a 3D film by director Eric Brevig (Journey to the Center of the Earth), with a screenplay from Wild Hogs scribe Brad Copeland. We now know who will voice Yogi, his trusty little friend Boo Boo and who will play a documentary filmmaker trying to get a glimpse of these two hungry bears. Dan Aykroyd will voice Yogi, with pop star turned actor Justin Timberlake taking his side as the voice of Boo-Boo. The lovely Anna Faris, seen most recently in the twisted Observe and Report, will play the film's documentarian, a girl named Rachel.

Have you been buying the minor huzz (hype+buzz) 'Robert De Niro's 7th Oscar nomination' for the holiday film Everybody's Fine? My friend txt critic saw it last night and sent the following note by phone...
it's, well, fine. most definitely a drama (despite the trailer) and conceptually a cross between About Schmidt and Four Christmases. nice, sweet and somewhat forgettable.
might, Might be a nomination for DeNiro, but i wouldn't bet on it.I dunno. I wasn't betting on it either but Best Actor sure seems vacant this year with only Colin Firth (A Single Man) and George Clooney (Up in the Air) catching any sort of real fire. As I've been saying for months, Fox Searchlight shouldn't have even hesitated to position Crazy Heart for a 2009 release. Jeff Bridges would have a clear shot at the career trophy given the field (if -- and it's always »

ComingSoon.net have spotted a new poster (click to enlarge) for Robert Rodriguez’ new movie, Machete which stars Jessica Alba.
Synopsis from ComingSoon:
“Machete” is based on the “fake” trailer in Rodriguez’s 2007 Grindhouse.

Reluctantly, Machete takes an offer from spin doctor Benz (Jeff Fahey) to assassinate McLaughlin (Robert De Niro) a corrupt Senator. Double crossed and on the run Machete braves the odds with the help of Luz (Michelle Rodriguez), a saucy taco slinger, Padre (Cheech Marin) his “holy” brother, and April (Lindsay Lohan) a socialite with a penchant for guns. All while being tracked by Sartana (Alba), a sexy Ice agent with a special interest in the blade slinger.

A new poster for Ethan Maniquis and Robert Rodriguez’s “Machete” is currently on display at the American Film Market (Afm), and it features a look at Jessica Alba as Sartana. Check it out below.
“Machete” is based on the “fake” trailer in Rodriguez’s 2007 Grindhouse. The highly skilled Federale Machete (Danny Trejo) is hired by some unsavory types to assassinate a senator. But just as he’s about to take the shot, he notices someone aiming at him and realizes he’s been set up. He barely survives the sniper’s bullet, and is soon out for revenge on his former employers, with the reluctant assistance of his old friend Cheech Marin, who has become a priest and taken a vow of nonviolence. If you hire him to take out the bad guys, make sure the bad guys aren’t you!

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a little post about Movies That Nobody Seems To Like But You, and it was an awful lot of fun for you (over 100 comments) and me -- so today I thought we could flip it around because I happen to know for a fact that there are movies that everyone seems to love but you ... because for me, that movie is Heat.
Released in 1995, Michael Mann's crime drama was an unofficial remake of his made-for-tv film, L.A. Takedown, and is still considered one of the greatest crime films of all time. The story centered on an Lapd homicide detective and a career criminal (played by 'Method heavies' Al Pacino and Robert De Niro) in a battle of wits with Mann's trademark themes of masculine identity and how our work can define us as people. But, no matter how many times I have »

The American Film Market is going on this week in Santa Monica and a few sites are squeezing every morsel of news from the event. Two sites nabbed a picture of a Machete one sheet featuring Jessica Alba as “Sartana.” It just looks like Alba with a gun in her hand, but you won’t hear any complaining from me.
The rest of the posters were locked away, but the wild cast also includes Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Robert De Niro, Lindsay Lohan, Cheech Marin, Steven Seagal, Don Johnson, and Rose McGowan. Robert Rodriguez shot the expanded Grindhouse trailer in August here in Austin, TX. It’s set for distribution April 16, 2010 by Sony Pictures.
This image comes from ComingSoon.net, but it should be noted Bloody-Disgusting snapped their own version as well:
