I just thought I’d do one final shout out and advertise our new site & blogathon. We are still looking for volunteers to write about a Robert De Niro film. The only stipulation is that it has to be one of his films you’ve never seen before.
We are looking to kick off the project early in October, and have already received a few submissions. I’m here now to let those that are interested know what we need from you. Basically, we just need you to email your review to: tysoncarter@hotmail.co.uk
It can be as long or short as you like, and include any images you fancy, just write in your own unique style. All we ask is that you review the film and write a little about how the main man De Niro is in his role. Then just include a rating out of 10. The rest of it can be however you like.
The following people have signed up and reserved these films (I know a couple of you weren’t 100% you could enter, that’s cool, just let me know and I can put your film back in the pot) so if you haven’t yet signed up, and the film you’re interested in isn’t listed below, then please shout out in the comments and reserve yours.

@ Mark – yes indeed it’s perhaps one of my fave De Niro roles, I wish he’d do more dramatic roles like that one. It’s not as commercial perhaps but he’s sooo good in it.
