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...

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.

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?" |
Why even try.........

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.
