“John Dillinger on Weekends”

Johnny Depp as John Dillinger.

Has anyone noticed how cool Johnny Depp looks as John Dillinger?  Not that it is all that hard for him to look cool. Clothing from this era actually reminds me a lot of what you see from the brands I am feeling most these days.   And I have noticed he wears some  amazing vintage sunglasses throughout the film – and I have only seen the trailer!   In the trailer, you see him wearing 3-piece suits as he robs banks, and you see a few shots of him more casual.  The casual look is total perfection.   So I am on a mission… aspiring to achieve a new look I am calling “John Dillinger on Weekends”.

Tupac Shakur – The Biopic

I was always completely fascinated with Tupac Shakur. I liked his music, and obviously some of it was undeniable, but I was never a huge fan of his music. But as a person, he was so compelling and inspirational. When he died, I remember thinking how disappointing it would be to not get to see him grow old.

I never really identified with Biggie the same way. Having moved to Brooklyn and felt his influence, and to the extent that a white kid can Texas can understand his influence, I am blown away. I finally watched Notorious and I loved it. Gravy killed it as Biggie. Seeing the portrayal of Puffy in the early years was a little freaky considering the mogul he has evolved to. The whole thing got me thinking about what the Tupac biopic would look like.

Since I cannot even begin to think who could and/or deserves to play him, I had a thought:

‘Tetro’ by Francis Ford Coppola

Wells Family Home Videos

We never had a camcorder to document things when we were young, but thanks to this movie, we don’t need one

My Dad’s favorite part of the movie:

The Girlfriend Experience

Mark Cuban putting his money to good use.

Ever wonder where Michael Jackson got his dance moves? This is crazy! This is from the movie ‘The Little Prince’, clearly a favorite of MJ’s from back in 1974. Skip to 2:30 to see the dance moves that either inspired Michael, or he flat out borrowed…

Every few months, I will waste a solid hour watching trailers on the Apple site. Here are a few that I will watch on Pay-per-View about a year from now when they come out.

Rudo Y Cursi

I will watch these guys together in movies til the day I die. Gael Garcia Bernal has been pegged at (or near) the top of my list of favorite actors for quite awhile now. Clearly I am not alone… check this promo video the studio must have released. 1.4 million views.

The Informers

Bret Easton Ellis, typical 80s flavor. I am all about it.

Away We Go

Check Maya Rudolph. Damn! She is for real.
