All right, so DeNiro probably isn't the first thing you thought of when you saw the image above, but the gent pictured is the real, gritty thing - a New York City taxi driver. Photographers Philip Kirkman and Shannon McLaughlin snapped enough photos of some game NYC yellow cab drivers to create a 2014 calendar that is unintentionally irresistible in ways we can't begin to capture in words.

This calendar truly deserves the synonym menology, and if you're quick with your order you might be able to get it in time for Christmas. Priced at US$14.99, all the net proceeds will be donated to NYC's University Settlement that aids working immigrants and low-income families.

No, it's not quite Scorsese, but this isn't something you want to miss, so have a gander through the gallery. How else will you know when you're being sped through Midtown by Mr. March?

  • Godzilla Minus One: Surprisingly emotional and poignant

In this version, the timeless clash between monster and man is once again set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Japan.

    23 years on, Infernal Affairs remains the best gangster movie I've watched

    TL;DR It's over two decades old, but Infernal Affairs remains THE gangster trilogy. *SPOILERS AHEAD* *SPOILERS AHEAD* *SPOILERS AHEAD* The Hong Kong Police and a triad have placed moles in each other's ranks. Tony Leung is Chan Wing Yan, an undercover cop desperate to leave his assignment.
