*Neyzor Blades is in the recliner wearing standard attire*
N: He should, its been one sided this whole time.
*The verdict is reached, Johnny Depp wins. Warlock celebrates around the room*
W: We did it! We did it! We did it!
N: You did nothing, sit down.
*Warlock picks up his Mega Pint and raises it*
W: To Ben Chew, Camille Vasquez and Johnny Depp, we win!
N: Will you stop?
W: Okay, okay, okay…its time to celebrate.
*Warlock flicks his wrist and the dvd player opens up*
N: Let me guess, a movie?
W: Right you are. To cap off Johnny Depp Tribute Week we’re going to take a look at one of my personal favorites, the 2009 gangster action movie PUBLIC ENEMIES. To those that don’t know, its a fictional biographical look at the very real gaggle of criminals that plagued the US from the late 1920’s to mid 1930’s, chronicling the rise of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The book this is based on took a look at legitimate bank robbers John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, Red Hamilton, Charles Makley, Pete Pierpont, Homer Van Meter and the professional kidnappers Alvin Karpis, Doc & Freddy Barker. The movie stars Johnny Depp as Dillinger and Christian Bale as Agent Melvin Purvis, the man tasked to catch him. Unfortunately as good as the movie is, it takes a LOT of liberties with the real story. That’s just going to be me nitpicking, Neyz will love this no matter what. So let’s get started with the final movie of Johnny Depp Tribute Week. Grab your popcorn, grab your drink and grab your woman because its time for PUBLIC ENEMIES.

*Neyz reads the tag-line*
N: “The Feds try to take down notorious American gangsters John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, and Pretty Boy Floyd during a booming crime wave in the 1930s.”
W: It took 8 seconds to find Floyd. They were better off naming Alvin Karpis or the Barker brothers.
