The Departed (2006)
Great Film; liked it better the second time I watched it.
This is definitely something new for Scorsese, and I liked it. He delves into the Irish mob this time around, and it allows him to switch things up.
It has everything every moviegoer would like to see, and it sets a pretty good deliberate theme about being a 'rat.' Matt Damon, DiCaprio, and Nicholson all have a great take on an Irish accent and play their part well. Especially Nicholson. ;)
So yeah, in closing, take some time out to watch this artistically beautiful movie, and remove the fact that it won 'Best Picture' from your head.
Next (2005)
Fun to poke fun at, as much as it is fun to watch.
4 out of 10 stars seems right.
This is perhaps the most staged or scripted show on MTV, but somehow, it's sort of entertaining. I'm always explaining to sister all the flaws. The impossible camera angles, the stupidity from every contestant, the corny ill-timed remarks, the unnatural speech, etc. I explain it, she understands it, but she doesn't care. Her idea for watching futile television actually made the show bearable for me and somewhat entertaining.
So if you're unable to recognize how ridiculously fake the show is, you might enjoy the show.
