Public Enemies

There's something almost old-fashioned about Michael Mann's Public Enemies, a mostly factual re-telling of the descent and death of John Dillinger (Johnny Depp), one of the 1930s most infamous bank robbers. More drama than thriller, the movie does a slightly better job with period detail than with character building. Full Review

Reckoning

Given their vast and varied catalog, it's sometimes easier to imagine R.E.M. as a discography than to picture them as a flesh-and-blood band. Ironically, it may be R.E.M.'s insistence upon operating as a fully democratic entity that has allowed them to shapeshift so completely and convincingly. Full story

The Town That Was

When the devil moves in next door, it’s bound to get hot.  If the residents of Centralia, Pennsylvania would’ve known what burning their trash dump in 1962 would’ve led to they would’ve just let it fester.  It would lead to the destruction of their town by a slow, hidden, smoldering death.  Full review
