Public Enemies rules !!!

dont miss Michael Mann flawed but nevertheless masterful Dillinger vs FBI account, Public Enemies, definetly the most stylish movie of the year ! And a great score by Elliot Goldenthal, reminsiscent of Heat, actually the film in itself could be called Heat in the 30's, or "30's HEAT", with Johnny Depp as De Niro and Christian Bale as Pacino !
But see it in DIGITAL !!!!! otherwise you'll miss the intentions of cinematography, breakthrough for such a huge budget (evil voices dubbed it as "untouchables with a camcorder"). Great period songs and retellings, from Diana Krall's Bye Bye Blackbird to the fantastic Ottis Taylor song Ten Million Slaves which is featured in all trailers...(this is the second movie after Shooter)theat features Ottis Taylor's songs-in fact Nasty Letter from Shooter is also in Public Enemies soundtrack !

Great side performances, incredible set design and location authenticity (although not factual) and one epic running time (140 min.) which I'm sure was cutdown from a longer version to be seen on a director's cut DVD (more of James Russo would've been cool)!

4 out of five, 8 out of ten

Heroic Fantasy

..shi au fost Manowar in Romanica...si a fost cel mai bun concert Bestfest din 3 editii..si cu tot cu gimmickurile lor fantsmagorice, de la intro pe Conan, la vocea lui Orson Welles, la sword and sorcery, heroic fantasy, cu un incident de pauza cica de la generator, care nu stiu daca era regizat sau nu...dar care a oprit tumultul pentru aproape jumate de ora si cind Manowarii s-au intors a fost mult mai dramatic, epic, si mai...manowaric !!! Luptele purtate de Joey Di Maio & co, muschiuloase and as ridiculous as they are/were/will be, have some basic truth and mythic testosterone in it...plus trickul cu chitara donata unui fan si aducerea unor chicks to shake their ass (Bulgarin and Fat they were), chestii regizate, ca si finalul cu ruperea fiecarei coade de Joey-i fuck all-c'mon man you might die for Metal dar eu te-am vazut la coada in ploaie sa intri la Bruce Springsteen la Stuttgart, so who made who, poate aveti voi festivalul of the Ring -Lorelei-dar organizatorul de anul trecut a dat faliment, si ati cintat la Kavarna 6 ore dar la Bucuresti numai doua si discursul lui Joey in romana a fost Antonescian si legionar dar cineva ii soptea textul in casca, anyway kudos for pronounciation si for all the Bulgarian fans care au facut drumul acum la noi, si pentru versiunea la Father in 16 limbi, dar prefer atitudinea lui Iggy, Lemmy sau chiar Sammy H, recunosc in schimb ca m-am emotionat la sfirsit si i shad a tear for all the heroes la ...Glory and Mighty and...(The Crown and the RING), si am un soft spot pentru voi, prefer sa va vad decit orice versiune a lui 300 sau noul Clash of Titans and you made Bucharest rule ! Amazing number of Manowar tshirts too !!!! And thanks Richard Wagner and Nietzsche ! And to Spinal Tap too ! This goes right to TWELVE !!!! Death to False Metal always and anyway-s ! See ya soon warriors !
