Movie I’m Really Looking Forward To: “Public Enemies”
By Debbie Schlussel
I’m really looking forward to “Public Enemies,” which comes out July 1st. It’s the onscreen telling of how the feds went up against John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Baby Face Nelson in the ’30s. I’m not a fan of Johnny Depp, who plays Dillinger. Not a fan of 9/11 truther nut Marion Cotillard, either. But I do like Christian Bale (regardless of the tape of him screaming at the guy on set of the new Terminator flick), who portrays Melvin Purvis, a member of law enforcement who went after these guys. And I like Channing Tatum, who portrays Floyd. Looks to be good. I love these kinds of movies. “The Untouchables” is still classic in my mind.
Portions of this film were shot in Crown Point, IN–about 1/2 hour from me. My husband and I were undecided on going. We have issues with the good Mr. Depp. But, he was nothing but a gentleman to the locals. He patiently signed autographs, posed for pictures, and chatted with the extras. So, maybe…
(I am very curious about your opinion of Terminator Salvation. I may go to the midnight show.)
