Recent films---

I have watched these 2 films released the last 2 years:

The Merry Gentleman (2008) Michael Keaton, Kelly Macdonald. Michael stars and directs. He is a hit man in crisis. Kelly sees him almost jump off a roof. She screams and he jumps back out of sight. Very interesting, but very slow storytelling. 7/10

The Public Enemies (2009) Johnnie Depp, Christian Bale, Marion Cotilliard. I don't know what they were going for, but for me, except for the women, there wasn't a sympathetic character in the whole film. Bale's Purvis was mean and corrupt, as was Hoover. They were supposed to be the good guys. (?) Depp's Dillenger was somewhat charming, but he killed so many and was so corrupt, I didn't like him either. 6/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1152836/

More films from the last 2 weeks later ---
