FILM ANNALYSIS: Robert de Niro turns soft in 'The Intern'

This high-fructose dose of Robert de Niro is an unexpectedly lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Definitely not a blockbuster hit, "The Intern" offers a more understated and feel-good experience than movies like "Straight Outta Compton" or "Black Mass." Although it may not win any awards, "The Intern" is a movie that did just what it intended and provided 121 minutes of frivolous delight.

BYOB: Bring your own bag

Less than 1 percent of plastic bags are recycled each year in America, according to the Clean Air Council. Most plastic bags contribute to landfill waste and a chunk of them make their way to the ocean.
