Nuggets from the Nugget: “The Proposal” and “Public Enemies”

06 Aug Nuggets from the Nugget: “The Proposal” and “Public Enemies”

The program for Telluride's Nugget Theatre for the week of August 7-13 is "The Proposal" and "Public Enemies."

"The Proposal" pits high-powered NYC book editor Margaret, aka "The Witch" (Sandra Bullock) against her assistant Andrew (Ryan Reynolds). Margaret is Canadian, and facing deportation, hatches the plan to stay in the US by marrying Andrew. It's "Boy hates Girl" until… Rated PG-13 for sexual content, nudity, language.

John Dillinger (Johnny Depp) robbed banks; Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale) had the task of bringing in Dillinger. "Public Enemies" is the story. J. Edgar Hoover (Billy Crudup) named Dillinger the first "public enemy #1" and declared war on crime. During the 1930s recession people across America regarded banks and bankers as more villainous than the gangsters who robbed the banks."Public Enemies" documents rather than glamorizes the story. Rated R for gangster violence and language.
