The Departed - enjoyable popcorn flick, but where's Scorsese's thumbprint? felt like it could've been directed by anybody, and at brief times by a clueless anybody (OH LOOK A RAT I SEE WHAT U DID DERE). what keeps things moving is the ruthless plot that's 90% lifted from the original Hong Kong film. it does a bangup job capturing Boston, though. if you live there chances are you know several people just like Wahlberg's character.
Memories of Murder - continued proof of Korean deftness at playing to the cheap seats but still defying expectations. a cruel black comedy about serial killing, police interrogation tactics, and desperate karaoke. jessie how was Teh Host?
I saw To Live & Die In LA twice when it came out, so I'm largely responsible for its total box office haul of $28.

The original had me more wrapped up in the characters' fate, got me thinking about the questions of identity that the setup naturally begs - and you'd think this would be primo territory for Scorsese to explore, but he never slowed down to let those themes percolate. And the Damon-Farmiga-Dicaprio love triangle was total DOA dud.
It sounds like I didn't like it - I did, it zipped along, it was fun - but The Aviator was a ballsier movie. Christ, I'm starting to sound like Morbs.

God knows it was better than The Aviator tho. But my favorite of his is The King of Comedy, w/o all that 'kinetic' razzledazzle.

Infernal Affairs had a palpable sense of loss and sorrow that carried it beyond its b-movie plot machinations. The Departed could've easily been in a diff league than expertly executed cat-and-mouse games, but all it has going for it is plot+motion+scenery chewing. Again, these aren't bad things, but finding soulfullness in criminality and exploring indentity crises are two of Scorsese's big themes, so I sense a missed opportunity here.

It wasn't great, but it was interesting. I thought it was a riff on Raging Bull - a successful yet unlikable character and his decline. I can't stand DiCaprio but I didn't mind him in it, so that right there is an achievement.

i had to turn the aviator off once it got past one of the big party scenes in teh first hour. dicaprio was also reminding me of a then-recent ex. ugh.
a stupid part of me wants to see music and lyrics
