    Maybe I'm a rube (it's been suggested) but I really enjoyed "Public Enemies." Michael Mann's movies are always uneven. This one was pretty good, though, mostly because he had really good actors doing really good work. And It was nice to see Johnny Depp acting normal for once in his life.

    All of the supporting cast in Fat Actress were brilliant. Including Kelly Preston (Travolta's wife) whose insane "diet guru" advice was "eat paper (no calories, fills you up)." She was "recommended" by John Travolta playing himself. (Kelly is NOT playing herself).


    In thinking about Travolta...his stardom, fall from stardom, resurrection after Pulp Fiction/Michael/Face Off (and a few others), and then decline again got me to thinking they should do Fat Actress again.


    Her assistants were wacky and wonderful. I wish it would either come back on (now that Kirstie has regained) or become a movie. There's just about nothing that draws me to the movie theater these days.

    The Pelham Bay line is the number 6. When this movie came out in the 70s that is what it was supposed to be.

    The most disturbing news I have read today is that some people still like Tony Scott movies after Man on Fire and Domino. This does not bode well for humanity. If you're one of those people, please don't even reply to my comment. I'm that scared I'll catch your germs.

    I had to see Pelham 123 yesterday with my dad. I knew it was going to be a McMovie as every movie with Denzel Washinton is now. It should do okay because he gets a built in black audience.


    I thought the acting was pretty good (especially John Tuturro) but the editing and everything else was weak. The intro was the most bizarre sequence I've ever seen, kind of like an advertising or music video rather than a movie.


    I generally stay away from mind numbing movies like this but the 'rents love them.

    Um, no.


    "Pelham 123," as it was explained in the earlier movie, is a #6 train (the Pelham Line). It departed Pelham, the start of its run, at 1:23. Hence it is Pelham 123.

    Richard, it's the 6 train. The hijacked train left Pelham Bay at 1:23 -- at least that's why they call it that in the '70s original, which is a very good movie.

    Richard, the 123 is the time the whole thing goes down, as one critic has reported. I don't know, personally, because I haven't seen the movie. Not because I don't like Denzel or Travolta, just because I have a system and movies about trains don't enter into it. Something about Speed being way too long, and by the time the train thing happened…I wanted Bullock and Reeves dead already.


    Also, some new critic hack on local Fox news said Denzel wasn't very nice to her during the Pelham junket when she asked him if he rides the subway. He basically said, "Um, no. No I don't ride the subway." And she's all like, "But you're from New York." And he's like, "Yes. But I no longer ride the subway as I live in LA."


    The nerve. How very rude of him. Pfffttt. Fox: Stupid even when it's almost impossible to be.

    My recollection is that "Runaway Train", with John Voigt and Eric Roberts, was a very good movie.

    I laugh everytime I see the codpiece Travolta is wearing above. As he is the owner of a miniature.

    Greenlighting a sequel before a movie comes out is the best marketing tactic of all time. They should have tried that for Glitter.
