Christian Bale Doesn't Mess Around

Christian Bale told the Chicago Sun-Times that he did not become Johnny Depp's friend on the set of Public Enemies (out today) because he prefers not to talk between takes.

"I wish to not talk unless we're doing the scene. I enjoy it that way. Johnny seemed happy to do it that way, too," Bale said. "So the answer is: No, we really didn't get to know each other better between each take."

He added, "So I guess I'll have to wait and get to know Johnny Depp someday."

Why are we not surprised at Christian's, er, 'different' on-set behavior? Oh, right.

Johnny Depp is not void of his own strange practices, either. Johnny recently told Conan O'Brien on The Tonight Show that he never watches his own movies, because he doesn't like seeing himself on screen.

Stars... sometimes, they're really not like us. Who wouldn’t want to get to know Johnny Depp?!

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
