The Last House on the Left, Transformers 2 and Public Enemies

I should learn to accept that when all the reviews for a film are bad, they should be avoided.

The Last House on the Left is a poor remake of the Wes Craven original, which I'm glad I missed. It is nasty and predictable as the parents take revenge on their daughter's attackers. Not a proper horror movie.

Transformers 2 is noisy and boring.

I went to see Public Enemies with more hope, being directed by Michael Mann, and not a typical summer blockbuster. But what a disappointment. The digital photography and jerky camera work made it difficult to watch. The were periods in the film that were just tedious. The script was awfull and Johnny Depp came across as if taking the part was a good idea at the time, but he really had better things to do.
