Public Enemies

dir. Michael Mann (2009)

Mann_Public Enemies

Directed by Michael Mann (Heat) and starring Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Marion Cotillard, and several notables in support, this crime drama biopic of 1930s bank robber John Dillinger should have been a sure-fire classic. Instead, almost indefinably, it fails to take off.

Rango

dir. Gore Verbinski (2011)

Verbinski_Rango

A surprisingly cohesive animated comedy. Johnny Depp is peerless as a chameleon who, stranded in the Mojave Desert, survives his introduction to the Wild West by impersonating (blending in by way of chutzpah and bravado!) a tough hombre by name of Rango.
