Movies and Savings

Today I finally got to watch Public Enemies. It was a packed house, and was apparently full of Johnny Depp Junkies who laughed at his every mannerism and eye roll. As I am not a JDJ, I did not participate and in fact found it disturbing. That ain’t Jack Sparrow up there, kids.

As for the movie, it went on way too long, dragged in the middle a bit (and I may have slightly dozed off), and by the end I decided that I really didn’t care about any of the characters. Alas. So… I guess it was a Michael Mann film. Mind you, it wasn’t terrible; it just wasn’t great.

This weekend, since I have nothing else to do, I watched all of the Back to the Future trilogy and Ghostbusters. The former is still fun, and the latter is a bit wooden. Still, they’re all good movies.

Before Public Enemies, Johnny Depp said you have to keep moving forward. A penny saved is a penny closer to salvation, I suppose.
