PUBLIC ENEMIES

PUBLIC ENEMIES... 2 QUALITY HOURS OF JOHNNY DEPP

Melvin Purvis: What keeps you up nights, Mr. Dillinger?

John Dillinger: Coffee.

This is a story of a love affair between the law and public enemy number one, John Dillinger. Even though we know how the players in this story end up, it still is an interesting historical piece from Michael Mann's viewpoint. John Dillinger was a celebrity in his day. Women wanted him and men wanted to be like him, except for the men of the FBI.

WHIP IT

WHIP IT CRACKING GOOD FILM

"Whip It" was written by Shauna Cross, a former Roller Derby skater with the Los Angeles Derby Dolls. Cross skated under the name Maggie Mayhem with a team of rouge cops called the Sirens. Many of the teams, skaters, names and plot lines were inspired by Cross' time with the Derby Dolls. IMDB

Whip It is Drew Barrymore's directorial debut and she does a damn fine job. Bliss Cavendar (Ellen Page) is a Texas debutant who doesn't quite fit into the pagent circuit to the dismay of her mother. She pretty much plain old doesn't fit anywhere until she discovers roller derby.

WORLD'S GREATEST DAD

WORLD'S GREATEST DAD GREAT MOVIE

Claire: So, do you play sports?

Kyle: No, I'm a big spaz like my dad.
Lance Clayton: Well, I was in the dive team in college.

Kyle: Diving's not really a sport, it's falling.

Written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, this clever and original film has brain and beauty. Filmed in Seattle, Robin Williams is Lance Clayton, a single father and a teacher living a quiet existance with his dickhead of a son, Lyle.

GHOSTS OF GIRFRIEND'S PAST

GHOSTS OF GIRLFRIEND'S PAST NOT SCARY

Vonda Volkom: Spooning is nice.
Connor Mead: Yeah. But not as nice as forking.

Connor Mead is a typical asshole who thinks he's God's gift to women.

SHRINK

SHRINK IS DEFINITELY IN

"Henry Carter: It's all bullshit and then you die."

Henry Carter is a lost man. He is a therapist to a great many of the Hollywood used and broken but he himself is in pain, although you wouldn't know it by how much pot the guy smokes.

THE INVENTION OF LYING

THE INVENTION OF LYING FULL OF TRUTH

"When trying to secure Philip Seymour Hoffman for his cameo his agent claimed he was too busy so Ricky Gervais requested his email address and sent him the following: "Dear Philip, will you please appear in my new film? There is very little money involved as I spent the budget on testicular implants, but don't look upon them as my testicles, look at them as our testicles." Phillip Seymour Hoffman couldn't refuse after that."- IMDB

What a novel concept, a world where people don't lie. Here Ricky Gervais creates a world where people go around telling the truth and nothing but the truth.
