The Departed (2006; Scorsese) ****

Alright! Marty might just get his Oscar. A nice, tightly woven plot is helped out even more by the acting, which is outstanding. Nicholson is Nicholson, DiCaprio and Damon shine, and the supporting players are even pretty darn good. The music is very good, although I didn't care for Van Morrison's cover of "Comfortably Numb," I could deal with it. Great film.


Hey, how's it going?
