The reason to see Public Enemies is the same as the reason to see any Johnny Depp movie: Johnny Depp. The story is engaging enough — there's plenty of sputtering machine gun shoot-outs and exciting escape plans and dashes of romance — but the actual enjoyment of watching this movie comes from Johnny Depp in a role he's naturally gifted at playing: the dark, mysterious rebel.
Depp plays John Dillinger, a bank robber who has gained a certain celebrity status with the public.

We knew that Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan was next directing a "contemporary sci-fi action" movie he wrote titled Inception, and that Leonardo DiCaprio would be the next big A-lister to work with him. Now an interesting trio has been added to the cast, including an Oscar winner, a young Oscar nominee and a "Scarecrow."

Yes, please). Michael Mann has proven that he works quite well with crime/action movies and Public Enemies is, of course, all crime and a lot of action.

Well, the results are in, and we now have movies that will forever be known as Oscar-winning. A lot of you said you go see the films once they're nominated, but if you didn't get to all of them before Sunday's show, maybe now's the time. Some people were so smitten with Marion Cotillard's acceptance speech that they want to rush out to see La Vie En Rose for her performance.

With the 2008 Oscars now just a memory, I'm looking ahead today to where we'll see this year's big winners working next.

This year's Oscars ceremony wasn't the most upset-filled or exciting in history — but there were still so many wonderful, touching little moments that made the show memorable. Several of them stood out to me when I was live blogging the ceremony: Jon Stewart bringing Markéta Irglová back onto the stage so she could address the crowd, Diablo Cody clasping hands with Ellen Page before accepting her award for Best Original Screenplay, and Marion Cotillard's giddy, lovely acceptance speech were a few of my favorites. What about you?

Marion Cotillard won the Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose. Her fellow nominees included Cate Blanchett, Julie Christie, Laura Linney and Ellen Page, and her speech was absolutely adorable ("You rocked my life!"). How do you feel about this win?
