Almost forgot about this one....

For shame, me.

In the course of all my excitable hyping of Inglourious Basterds and The Wolfman, I've totally neglected to state my nearly-equally-high hopes for Michael Mann's summer gangster epic Public Enemies. Johnny Depp as John Dillinger, Christian Bale as the man hot on his trail. Mann's snap-crackle-pop action sensibilities and dramatic command. It'll take either a horrendous script or a cataclysmic filmmaking folly on the parts of all involved for this one to under-satisfy.

The first poster for Public Enemies made its way online today, and, while nothing mind-blowing, it features a nicely iconic shot of Depp in gangster mode. Score one for this flick. Now let's get a trailer, mofos.
