When Johnny Depp gets into character and make-up, the results are usually whimsical to say the least. After all, such lengthy sitdowns in the make-up trailer have resulted in him bringing to life characters such as Edward Scissorhands, Jack Sparrow and a particularly mental Mad Hatter. This time however, the make-up is resulting in a crueler, grittier Depp, as he portrays legendary …

In the last few years, every time Johhny Depp appeared on screen in some weird makeup and/or funny headgear (dead crow, anyone?) it usually resulted in some unintentional punchline at the expense of the actor’s street cred and box office pull. Nobody’s laughing now. In the upcoming true-crime drama Black Mass, Depp plays notorious gangster Whitey Bulger, and despite him …

Four years. That’s how far back it was since I was last truly and seriously excited for a Johnny Depp movie. And even then he was playing a cartoon chameleon. If we’re talking a Johnny Depp movie starring a real-life Johnny Depp, then we’d have to go back all the way to the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie in …

I do love thrillers.
