The Dillinger flick - "Public Enemies". I wasn't super excited to see it and it exceeded expectations.
I definitely learned some things and it was was an entertaining 2 hours.
It was well done and not overdone. I think the cast was good all around from Depp and Bale, to the female lead and the guy who played Hoover.
The Tommy Gunns sounded great. They always make me think of Topper Headen and Joe Strummer. I wonder if they really sounded just as they did in the film.
Oh I also saw Changeling on DVD recently. I also enjoyed that more than I expected.
I didn't realize it was directed by C. Eastwood (and orig. to be dir. by R. Howard but he had a sched. conflict).
The ensemble was good in this one too from Jolie, to her friend in the hospital, to the police chief, to the child from Canada (I don't want to give anything away).
And it was also an unexpected pleasure to see J. Malkovich in an interesting supporting role.
