The Departed. WOW. If you can't handle offensive language, racial slurs, and violence, do not go to this film. But, if you can...RUN TO SEE IT. It is phenomenal. The acting is fantastic, the cast is dynamite, and it even has a heart! I really found myself fond of several of the characters. Matt Damon isn't one I usually will run to go see, but, he was good in this movie, it was reminiscent of his role in Goodwill Hunting, ONLY because it takes place in South Boston and he has the same accent and curses a lot. I like that he doesn't play the nice guy in this, as that is what he normally does. Jack Nicholson is definitely aging, but, aging well, in my opinion. He is a powerhouse in this movie. Mark Wahlberg's character is really rude and funny, but, I really liked him. And, Leondardo Dicaprio has always been a favorite of mine, but, he's been laying pretty low for awhile. He really returns with a bang (no pun intended) in this movie. I saw a preview with him and Djimon Honsou (sorry if I spelled that wrong) last night, too, called Blood Diamond. It looks really good. Intense drama, but, I like that. There were many previews last night that I want to see. I need to start keeping a journal strictly for "movies i want to see" and carry it with me to the theater.

But, that was a bit off track. Go see The Departed. It's rough and extreme, but, really very good. I love Martin Scorsese. Sorry for the really long post, but, this film really rocks.
