My Life in Ruins and Public Enemy

Two movies I saw recently -

The first was My Life in Ruins (2009) about a depressed travel guide who finally finds her way. It was a cutsie wootsie story and I liked it. I like Nia Vardalos. Even though it wasn't all there - it was lovely to see glimpses of Greece. One can only imagine just how beautiful the country would be.

Public Enemy (2009) was a major let down. Do not watch it. It has a superb cast including Johnny Depp, Christian Bale), but nothing much else. It tells the story about how the FBI brings down John Dillinger, a notorious bank robber who only steals from the banks, not the customers (like isn't that the same thing?). There is a disturbing scene when the agents beat up a female. Not done at all.
