    Re: "The Departed"

    Robert Deniro was offered Jack Nicholson's role but turned it down. I'm a little surprised, I guess the money wasn't right.

        Yup, saw the whole trilogy. Very good movie. I'll probably check The Departed out just to see what changes, if any, they made to the story.

          I'm hoping to see it this weekend but I don't think it's going to happen with all the sports going on.

          Hopefully I'll catch it during the week next week.

            Yeah I was surprised he wasn't in the movie. Can't wait to see this. I'm hoping I can go tonight.

              Interested in hearing your impressions Dookie [if you see it tonight.] I'll watch it either Sat or Sun.

                If I see it tonight, I'll try and post my review when I get back.

                Not sure if I will see it tonight or tomorrow for a matinee. (How the hell do you spell that word?)

                    JayBee, I will defiantly give you my impressions if I go tonight, but giving movie impressions isn't something I do well.

                      I'd be satified with, "I liked it a lot!".

                          Re: "The Departed"

                          Just got back from it.

                          I would recommend, but it fell short of what I expected.

                          Solid flick. I'll talk more hwen others have seen it.

                            I thought it was very good. Some nice cat & mouse suspense.

                              Our local reviewer for the newspaper said that the movie may be undervalued because of the Martin Scorsese connection. He continues, that although it falls short of Scorsese classics "Raging Bull", "Goodfellas", and "Taxi Driver" it is still far superior to most films that have come out this year. He gave it 3.5 stars out of 4.

                                I would have to agree. Just because it is Scorses, makes you expect something amazing, and when the movie is just "good" it is a letdown.

                                Oh and btw, Robert De Niro would of been a much better fit than Jack. too bad.
