One Word -- Depp!

I ventured out to see Public Enemies only to see that face. Well maybe to see how Depp - who portrayed John Dillinger - would do in a part once played by Warren Oates.

The story was jumpy and spotty in places but the action - if you're into action - was worth the ticket price. I frankly was taken by the love scenes. I do believe the best Hollywood love scenes by far, are the ones that are implied. Hats off to director, Michael Mann, who put together a wonderful film about the glory days of bank robberies.

Why see this flick? Let me make this very clear - Michael Mann directed Johnny Depp and Christian Bale (Melvin Purvis - the GI who took down Dillinger and eventually killed himself). If you haven't seen it - GO as I did to an afternoon matinee. What fun it was to sit there with my popcorn and dream about getting rich by knocking off a few banks. Then the movie was over and i remembered that the banks don't have any money. So I came back home and got back to work on l'Amore designs.

Ciao Y'all
