Departed

[Cheyenne]

Starring Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Wahlberg.

Not a movie you want to have on the TV with kids in the room; VERY nasty language, VERY violent. Was a good movie, but this spoiled it for me.

I thought it was mediocre. The ending was lame.

I beg to differ with you, but then that's why they make all kinds of movies. :)

Yeah, definitely was a hard R, but I thought it was outstanding.

SORTA SPOILERS

I disagree, I felt the ending perfectly fit the movie. The entire theme of the movie is that nobody is really innocent, it sort of needed to end that way. And, in the end, the only person left alive, Marky Mark, is certainly not a hero by any means. The plot structure closely resembles a five-part Shakespearean tragedy. It would've been mediocre and lame to me if the bad guys died and the good guys all lived happily ever after.

I think Kill Bill is now my favorite Tarantino movie, but to be fair, I pretty much burned myself out on Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs.

What about Four Rooms?

Four Rooms was okay. I thought Robert Rodriguez's part (the one with the two kids) was the best one, Tarantino's was second-best after that, but I don't technically qualify that as a "Tarantino movie".

Has anyone seen Death Proof yet? It's okay, but definitely my least favorite Tarantino movie. Kurt Russell's cool in it, though.

I watched 'Keeping Mum' last night, starring Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean), Maggie Smith. Patrick Swayze is in to too; man does he look bad.

Anyway it was good; funny, but not hysterical; shows the daughter's boobs a couple of times. I don't consider this one a waste of time.

Agreed.

I really liked Departed - didn't you want punch Marky Mark in the head at certain points? :laugh: The casting was excellent and the script was decent as well. Even though Ray Winstone didn't have a large role, he has become one of my favorite actors - he was awesome in The Propostion - another one I loved despite the extreme violence.

I caught an old movie recently called the Professional. It has Natalie Portman in it and she was about 12 years old. Its a great little film and she kicked ass.

What do you expect from a true story about an Irish Mob boss.

I've never seen Kill Bill, what is it about? I have heard it talked about a lot.

Uma Thurman is a member of an all-woman assassination squat, led by Bill. The movie opens with Bill, at Uma's wedding, shooting her in the head. He thinks she's dead, but she survives, and once healed, she goes about seeking revenge on the entire squad.

It was released in two parts, the first part being an homage to old kung fu movies (complete with over-the-top and hokey violence, as well as an outstanding anime sequence), and the second part is sort of a western, but more all over the place (in a good way). It's not a sequel, though, the whole thing was clearly designed as one big story. Obviously, if you don't like Quentin Tarantino, you won't like it, but in my humble opinion, it's his best movie.
