I fear for Christian Bale- he's become the go-to actor for steely-eyed, gravel voiced characters (the kind of guy who has great screen presence but in real life would scare you shitless) and his range seems to be contracting instead of growing.

I was also disappointed with the liberties that Mann took with historical fact.
IRL, Hoover was so jealous of Purvis that he drove him out of the FBI a year after Dillinger died.
In the movie Purvis is a lapdog, which eliminated a whole avenue of drama that might have humanized the FBI and raised them above the soulless- but basically incompetent- hunting machine that Mann presented.

For me, Public Enemies stands as the poster child for over-hyped movies, even above Transformers 2 or Terminator: Salvation.
The latter didn't pretend to be anything but summer popcorn flicks (BAM! BOOBS!) while PE strove to be The Godfather and hardly measures up to the third sequel.

The Girl Next door was so lame. I had high expectations from this crappy movie.

In my case I was just angry.

The last movie I watched is District 9. (downloaded it)
I liked it, so I will get the Blu-Ray.

The Last Movie I paid for (go to the theater) Lord of the Rings (the first part) I think its been almost 10 years now.
How much is a movie ticket now? 20 bucks? LOL
