Movie for Today.. The Departed
 

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...

The Departed
 

Its an awesome movie as you say from every perspective.

It was the best film I've seen a while

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.

:hidin:

-spence

going to the gfs house tonight to watch it.I'll stop by the adult bev. store b4.Karl are you workin?I have somethin for you.:cheers:

I watched it last night as well. Fantastic flick. Jack was absolutely amazing, he fit the bill perfectly.

Gonna watch it tonight...

I'm here until 6 PM.. been here since 8:30AM..
Why am I selling so much Guinness and Jameson's and Baileys today?? :huh: ;)

It's the "wearin of the green".and,most of'em will be lookin green tomorrow.I'll come by b4 6.:gu:

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!!

I was going to watch it last night but TCM had "HUD" on so I ended up watching that.....great Flick

TCM is a great channel :kewl:

GREAT movie! except for matt damon, he has to be the worst actor in the world, i think chuck norris is better

I'm still waiting for netflix to send it to me..........hurry up already would ya.

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.

NIB give's it 2 thumbs up..

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.

a Great flick, the elevator I was like HOLY CHIT!!!!

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"

alec baldwin survived as well, and wasnt corrupt.

true..prolly just my brain tryin to block that real bad fake Boston accent outta my head, or him outta the movie.. gawd.. he stunk up the part he played..
he did play incompetent very well, if that is what he was trying for.

DOHHH!! I haven't seen it yet....

The elevator and roof scenes were shot at my office. Pretty cool.

Classic.....Right up there with Goodfellas

If u liked this mob flick....check out "State of Grace."
