#579, "The Departed"


          

Absolutely enjoyable - I totally recommend this movie. It kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. The acting was flawless. I'm so glad my girlhood crush on Leonardo DiCaprio wasn't akin to that for NKOTB.

Isn't Mark Wahlberg in that movie too?

Yeah, he is. Minor role but he pretty much steals every scene he's in, which really surprised me... seems like he's been drawing a lot of leading, yet bland roles for a while.

For the record, I liked the ending of the movie, though others I've talked to didn't.

Just too much at the end came completely out of no where. Seemed like they just threw it on there cause they couldn't think of any other way to end it. I don't want to go into detail to spoil it for others, but I think they could have come up with a better way to do what they did.

There's a few movies he's been in that he really impressed me with. I Heart Huckabees being the big one. I just wish he'd have more roles where he could flex his acting muscle. I'm slowly becoming a fan of his.

I liked him in Three Kings as well. Plus, he's executive producer of (and allegedly some of the inspiration for) Entourage, so I grant him a reprieve for his occasional "paycheck" roles.

Sadly, however, no one seems to be able to find work for the Funky Bunch.

And supposedly has a lot of tongue-in-cheek jokes/stories of his past. At least thats what I've heard.

The funky bunch. Heh. The name alone evokes peals of high-pitched laughter.

I only mentioned him because she threw NKOTB into the mix.
