Things we like and no like.
Folded:
- Public Enemies (it’s the real deal, if you can hack the grainy digi-video that is)
- First Class (always looks nice from the platform. Then again Lindsay Lohan looks nice from a distance too)
- Warrior’s Dance by The Prodigy (sounds like 808 State. Major compliment)
- Wimbledon roof (the BBC has dedicated 70% of their coverage to talking about it, so it’s nice that it works)
- Freeze Frame on DVD (a quite bizarre paranoid thriller from 2004, but Lee Evans is extraordinary in it)
Creased:
- Sex Panther (funny, but at £29.95 you may as well just buy a bottle of Brut and save yourself £29.90)
- Quiet coach (nothing quiet about six mobile phones going off at once)
- Happy Andy Murray (great tennis player, miserable as sin)
- Personal Affairs (usual unspeakable BBC Three rubbish. Probably been commissioned for a second series already)
- Lego Amy Winehouse (or a conehead, you decide)
Crusading Christian Bale hunting down a villainous Johnny Depp?
No, before you get excited, it’s not Batman 3, but Michael Mann‘s new movie Public Enemies. And Johnny Depp isn’t dressed in green lycra with question marks all over it, but is playing charismatic bank robber John Dillinger.
Predictably, Bale plays the FBI agent sent to hunt the Depp down, armed only with a jaunty hat and a ridiculous voice. And if the trailer is anything to go by, it should be good, but, fingers crossed, it won’t be the last time they work together.
Still, imagine if they had called it Pubic Enemies?

History says that Johnny Depp is good at only two things: dressing like a blind man in a rag factory and running around in a funny way dressed up like a pirate.
But now it looks like we can add a third thing to the list of things Johnny Depp excels at – actually saving people's lives from certain death. It's been reported that Johnny Depp saved the lives of six extras on the set of his new movie recently by diving at them, pushing them clear of an out-of-control stunt car heading in their direction.
Which, if true, is actually quite nice. Brave even. Which is hardly very helpful for those of us who have to be rude about famous people for a living. Johnny Depp, eh? What a titting bastard.
