THEATER, TV, DVD & BLU-RAY REVIEWS
CHICAGO – The coming-of-age comedy “The Wackness” with Josh Peck, Ben Kingsley, Olivia Thirlby, Mary-Kate Olsen, Method Man, and Famke Janssen may feature a bouncing hip-hop soundtrack and be about joyful things like first love, but it’s an oddly inert, haze-filled film, as if the regular marijuana usage in the film cast a haze over the entire project.
CHICAGO – The world has changed significantly since Kiefer Sutherland and the rest of the team behind Fox’s “24” were forced to save it repeatedly over the first six seasons of one of the most popular shows of the last decade. Will “24” still be relevant with controversy over real-life torture dominating the headlines and a new regime getting ready to take office?
CURRENTLY IN DISCUSSION
Movie Location
I live in the building on Clark and Newport where the filming of Public Enemies is taking place. The second story apartment is the home of Depp’s movie girlfriend. FBI agents (Christian) will stake-out in the shanty town under the el tracks and spy on the building. They also shot all of the actor’s mugshots there as well. Good group of people, especially the girls cooperating with the use of their apartments during the shoot. I haven’t seen Johnny yet, but he has been hanging out at our place. Perhaps after the Cubs game I will invite him to a few Wrigleyville establishments.
