There might have been a thread on this movie. I wanted to see it in the theatre.. but missed it.. Watched it last night.. Pissah Movie.. loosely based on the Winter Hill Mob.. A lot of Bahston area Irish humor buried in there.. great dialouge.. I actually watched it twice, and was glad I did.. missed a lot the first time.. the under cover aspect is great, from both perspectives....

Happy St. Paddys Day...

My buddy made me buy it and I watched it last Sunday night. Great Movie!!!! There were a few surprises and that was refreshing as most movies are almost totally predictable. Not this. (at least I didn't find it to be)

It's on the Comcast line-up and I can't wait to watch it - just have to squeeze it in between NCAA hoops.

Very good movie. Although given the behavior of some of the characters, I'd be a little embarrased if I was a member of the Mass State Troopers.

best line of the movie, " what's the uniform for, you comin' to work here or getting ready to invade Poland?"

I was a little confused by the State Trooper's role (Matt Damon). Seemed as if he was actually portraying FBI agent John Connelly rather than a Statie. From what I've heard and read it was the Mass State Police who were working hard to take down Whitey but were hampered by the Feds. I know at least one Statie was indicted in the whole deal but he seemed to be more of a background figure. No mention of a politician brother either. The movie was really good but if you expected to see the Whitey Bulger story this wasn't it.

Anyone else catch Boondock Saints on TV last night? It was edited for television but it didn't matter to me. I was hammered for St. Patty's Day!!

Great flick, saw it the day it opened:) but it is a remake of the movie infernal affairs. If you can find them rent them it is a four movie set.

It was good (7/10), but if Scorcese didn't win it all for Goodfellas, I don't get why he won it for this movie. I guess they like all those little twists.

Nicholson was weak. Marky Mark did well.

Goodfellas did blow Departed away. Nobody does the mob like DeNiro and Pesce "Ma, can I borrow this knife?"

Best movie I have seen for a while. I though it was funny that marky mark was nominated for an Oscar for playing a Boston thug.

He was the only "non-corrupt" that survived.....in the flick ;)

Yes On Goodfella's.. Scorcese should have won that hands down..
this was the "Make-up" Oscar

Flap.. great line.. " Yeah Ma..I need it for the.. uh.. "deer"...yeah, that's it...his paw is stickin outta the trunk"

Movie was good but made me tired.. alot of buildings I worked on in the background .. That guy Leo Decaprio what ever,, never liked him except Gangs of NewYork when the butcher was cutting him up .. I though he was excellent in Departed... Marky Mark played a great smart ass cop .. Like the way Nicholson died in the end .. when he gets shot,, laying back,, he spits blood straight up in the air like a water fountain .. bet that was his idea.. I like wise guy flicks .. A Bronx Tale was good role reversal . Deniro the straight laced good guy ... Hey Coffee Cake ,, I don't want you looking at the kid when he throws the dice... Get in the bathroom ...:rotf2:
