The Departed
We went to our local indie cinema to see “The Departed” on Wednesday. It was GOOD. Great acting. A few loose ends, like (spoiler alert) how Markie Mark figured it all out. And what was in the envelope given to the character played by Vera Farmiga. But mainly the acting was so good by all characters that they could have gotten away with even larger plot problems.
The best support roles were played by Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen and Alec Baldwin - they were just all so funny and really rounded out the cast of characters.
And I came to realize, for the first time, that not only is Leonardo DiCaprio a great actor (I have thought so since seeing What’s Eating Gilbert Grape - don’t let that disaster Titanic movie lead you to think otherwise) but he is a hottie too - no wonder he can snag all those super model girlfriends (I mean, he dated Gisele - the most beautiful woman on the planet - for chrissakes.).

I thought DiCaprio was very good too, better than I remember in other flicks.

I wonder how Leo will fair in the conflict diamond flick? I loved Departed; it was so intense. I’m a big fan of Vera Farmiga. I loved the line “Your vulnerability is freaking me out!”
