This is a busy time for my family. My brother from Texas came to visit and we celebrated 4th of July and 2 birthdays and an anniversary. My brother is a bit straight laced. He didn't used to be but moving to Texas did it perhaps or maybe having three daughters pushed him over the edge. I have a little tradition of inadvertently taking his kids to movies he would not let them watch. One time it was War of the Worlds and then this horrible Adam Sandler thing called Click that they wanted to see. This time we went to see Public Enemies--rated R. Hmm. it was kind of good and kind of monochromatic and slow. It made the 30s seem very dreary. The men all looked the same. I sort of recall my grandpa looking like that--a black overcoat and a hat. There was far too much shooting with Tommy guns for my taste. And yet, shooting with Tommy guns seems rather bland compared to all of the explosions and such that you get in a modern action movie. It is kind good and fascinating too but I'd rate it H for historical.
