Watch This Movie!!!
I was talking with a friend recently about how movies nowadays are really crappy and there hasn't been one that really blew us away and made us say "Wow! That was a great frickin' movie!" in a long time. The last one that we could come up with was Road to Perdition which I felt never got the respect it was due. House of Flying Daggers came pretty close too. Films that I really enjoyed like Akeelah and the Bee are good too but not mind blowingly awesome. The majority of most films these days are sequels, remakes of TV shows, or comic book films. But there is one film I am really looking forward to.
Yes, it is a remake but the pedigree is hard to ignore. I'm talking about The Departed, a remake of the classic 2002 Hong Kong crime thriller Infernal Affairs. The story revolves around the classic world of cops and robbers. The gangsters have planted a mole in the police department to tip them off and the police have done the same by sticking one of their prize recruits into the mob world. It then becomes a game of cat and mouse as both become in danger of having their identities revealed as well as suffer over the choices they make in their alter ego worlds.
The HK film became an instant classic and spawned both a prequel and a sequel. And like the American version, it featured an all star cast. For the Hollywood version, you can't go wrong with a cast of Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Alec Baldwin, Mark Wahlberg, and Martin Sheen. Toss in Martin Scorsese, one of the most influential directors of this age, and you appear to have a masterpiece in the making.
So go out next weekend and watch this film!!! The few advanced reviews I've read so far are all glowing and are calling it Scorsese's best film since Casino. Here's the trailer for the film so whet your appetites in the meantime: The Departed trailer

Yeah, when I saw the trailer for this movie, I thought "Wow, that is a lot of talent in that movie."
I will probably wait until it comes out on DVD.
