Movie: Public Enemies * Trailer * 6 Clips * Images * Official Site
In Theaters: July 1, 2009


Runtime: 140 minutes
Directed by: Michael Mann


MPAA Rating: R for gangster violence and some language
 Gecko Rating: 



 
I wondered if &quot;Public Enemies&quot; would romanticize the gangster life, and it sort of does. But it also gives the other side of the story  the blood, violence, and nastiness. 
Still, this movie mostly romanticizes it, mainly because Johnny Depp is just so darn cute. What girl could resist his charms, gangster or not? Plus, I think he&#8217;s actually getting better looking as he gets older. But enough of my crush
In &quot;Public Enemies,&quot; Depp plays notorious gangster John Dillinger in the 1930s. It&#8217;s not a life story or anything; the movie actually picks up with him getting out of prison after something like nine years. Apparently, he&#8217;s learned nothing in there, because he&#8217;s right back at it, gathering the gang back together and planning their next bank robbery. 
We really don&#8217;t see a lot of the other gangsters  it&#8217;s mostly about Dillinger  but on the sidelines is Baby Face Nelson (Stephen Graham), Pretty Boy Floyd (Channing Tatum) and others. In a nightclub, Depp spots the beautiful Billie Frechette (Marion Cotillard) and goes over to introduce himself. He wastes no time and not only strikes up a romance right away, but also tells her who he is and what he does. &quot;I&#8217;m John Dillinger, and I rob banks.&quot; She resists his charms at first, but they&#8217;re soon involved in a torrid affair.
 
I don&#8217;t know enough about Dillinger to know if everything in the movie is factual, but it sure plays well on screen. The romance, the bank robberies, the hiding out, the cat-and-mouse games with G-Man Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale) and FBI director J. Edgar Hoover (Billy Crudup)  it&#8217;s all good. But what I really love about the movie is the fantastic cinematography. If it doesn&#8217;t win some awards, then something is seriously wrong with the world. 
The camera work vacillates between traditional shots like you&#8217;d see in any commercial movie and old news footage-type shots. I don&#8217;t know the technical terms, but it&#8217;s very clear and concise, and almost bathed in a sepia toned sheath. I kept thinking about the footage of Lee Harvey Oswald being gunned down as he was being transferred from one place to another, because it reminded me of that. Other scenes looked like they were shot with a hand-held home movie camera. It gives you the feeling of being right there at that time and place. 
The original music by Elliot Goldenthal &#8212; a guitarsy-cross between folk and jazz  is also really impressive. I could have just listened to the music all day. And all of the vintage stuff  the cars, guns, clothing, and interior designs  was all spot-on. 
&quot;Public Enemies&quot; didn&#8217;t have enough bank robberies to impress my teenaged son, but if you&#8217;re a fan of Johnny Depp or gangster movies, or if you just want to see a really well-made film, then go check this one out. 
NOTE TO PARENTS: The R rating is mainly for violence; there are quite a few scenes of people being gunned down, heads getting banged, people bleeding to death, that sort of thing. There&#8217;s a little bit of sex, but nothing explicit. You just see Dillinger and Frechette in bed together. I&#8217;d say it&#8217;s ok for kids 16 and older who don&#8217;t mind violence.

      <link>http://guanabee.com/2009/07/sarah-palin-resigns-governorship-of-alaska-its-a-fourth-of-july-miracle</link>
      <description><![CDATA[


&#8220;And I&#8217;ll miss you most of all, Scarecrow.&#8221; 
Sarah Palin announced today that she would be stepping down as governor of Alaska at the end of the month. Here she is seen hugging Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell  who will take over her post on July 25. Palin&#8217;s actions shocked Republicans as she was supposed to serve until the end of 2010, but it was no surprise to those of us who have grown accustomed to watching the party slowly self annihilate. No one knows whether she is stepping down to ready herself for the Presidential race or to be a TV personality, but you know which one we&#8217;re hoping for. Jackie Guerra, get your pitch ready.

      <description><![CDATA[File this one under: Yeah right, you wish!
Lauren Conrad and her boyfriend Kyle Howard were hanging out at Deluxe Thursday night when Lauren whined that Ryan Gosling hit on her.


Umm&#8230;Lauren, hate to break it to ya, but you&#8217;re flattering yourself.  Lauren told Kyle, &#8220;Who does he think he is?  I&#8217;m with you.  I would never.&#8221;
He said, &#8220;I know baby, if I was there I would have set him straight.&#8221;
Instead of that, a friend said, &#8220;Let&#8217;s go find Ryan Gosling.  Let&#8217;s beat him up.&#8221;
They should just have a dance off, that&#8217;ll settle it.  
Team Ryan!

      <link>http://notas.guanabee.com/2009/07/honduran-troops-shoot-protesters-bus-tires</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In theory anyway. Mostly this rather bad video shows a lot of confused milling around, as if neither the troops nor the protesters had had their roles properly explained to them. My thought? Both sides should study the stuff that came out of Iran a couple of weeks  ago, learn how to do this right.

      <title><![CDATA[Film Gecko Giveaway - Transformers DVD]]></title>
      <link>http://www.filmgecko.com/film-gecko-giveaway-transformers-dvd/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[ I&#8217;m probably more in love with &quot;Transformers&quot; than &quot;Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen&quot; (read my review here). They&#8217;re both rock-em sock-em movies with giant robots, but the first one had more plot and character development, in my view. Well, as much as you can have in a movie about giant robots.&#160; 
THE DVD: The 2007 action flick directed by Michael Bay centers on an ancient battle between two extraterrestrial robotic clans, the heroic Autobots and evil Decepticons. But the key to who wins this battle is held by a teenage boy, Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf). Also stars Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Rachael Taylor, Jon Voight, and John Turturro. 
(&quot;Transformers&quot; is also now available in a two-disc Blu-ray edition. As with the DVD, it includes new deleted scenes and 25 minutes of bonus features; available on June 16 from from Paramount Home Entertainment.)
THE GIVEAWAY: I have FOUR Transformers&quot; DVDs to give away.&#160;&#160; 
HOW TO ENTER: To enter the contest, simply leave a comment on this post by midnight on Saturday, July 11, 2009. Be sure to include a valid email address. Winners will be drawn randomly. Ill email the winner for their snail-mail address after the contest ends. Good luck!

      <link>http://guanabee.com/2009/07/glug-glug-four-cocktails-for-the-fourth-of-july</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The 4th of July, as you may know, is tomorrow. It is a day that we celebrate the birth of this great nation by consuming nitrates, singing nipples by leaning too close to open flames, and vomiting in three colors.
To help you celebrate, we&#8217;ve collected four different drink recipes that we think you&#8217;ll enjoy:
Red-Headed Slut
Ingredients
5cl (one part) Jaegermeister
5cl (one part) peach schnapps
Cranberry juice
Directions
- Combine Jaegermeister and schnapps in glass full of ice.
- Add cranberry juice to fill to top; stir as necessary.
Dirty White Mother
Ingredients
1 1/2 oz Brandy
1/2 oz Coffee Liqueur
Light Cream
Directions
- Pour brandy and Kahlua into an old-fashioned glass filled with ice cubes and stir.
- Float cream on top and serve.
Blue Hawaii
Ingredients
3/4 ounce light rum
3/4 ounce vodka
1/2 ounce blue Curacao
3 ounces pineapple juice, unsweetened
1 ounce Sweet and Sour
Directions
- Combine all ingredients with ice, stir or shake, then pour into a hurricane glass with ice.
- Garnish with fruit slice or mini umbrella.
Fireworks
Ingredients
4 oz Champagne
1/3 oz Gin
1/2 oz Tangerine Schnapps
Directions
Pour into a champagne flute, garnish with a twist of orange, and serve.

Personally? We&#8217;ll be sticking to lukewarm Tecate and, of course, a Cuba Libre. Or six. That&#8217;s just how we celebrate.

INF Daily photogs caught up with  Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez pulling up to his Manhattan apartment last night in a cab, but as soon as the couple got a hold of the paparazzi, Kate hopped out of the cab and scurried into the apartment while A-Rod rode off in the cab. He returned thirty minutes later to enter the building alone and Kate did not come down the rest of the night. Sucia!
