I haven’t written a movie review in quite some time, which is the consequent of viewing a lot less movies. Not sure if this decision reflects my disinterest in the fare Hollywood belched up lately, or I just fell out of the movie habit. Maybe decision is too strong a word. I don’t remember consciously avoiding the cinema. Then again, I don’t remember thinking oh, there’s a flick I have to see that often either.
Anyway, I’m hitting two flicks these week. Borat and The Departed. Borat promises to offend and entertain. The Departed promises deception and lots of action. Ah, the American dream.
Oh, and this guy nearly blew up the crematorium as his flesh cooked away in the oven. There’s a horror story in that somewhere…
I’ve heard The Departed is quite good. It’s really the only one on my must-see list right now. I’d like to see The Fountain, too, but I don’t think it’s out yet.
Hmm. Haven’t heard of The Fountain. That must be what happens when one stops frequenting the talkies and misses the previews.
The Departed is better than quite good, I’m happy to report.
