The Departed and The Guardian
The Departed - I "attempted" to watch this movie last night. This is the first Martin Scorsese film I did not like. I could not even follow it half the time. For one thing, Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg look very similar in this film. My biggest comlpaint, and the reason I did not even watch the whole film was it just kept jumping around and was hard to follow.
The Guardian was a very pleasent surprise. Great film, great action scenes and a cool story line. The ending was not a surprise, but the action scenes more then made up for that. They did a good bit of the filming for this at the Bering Sea.

If you were confused by Damon and Wahlberg you would really have a tough time with the original movie " Infernal Affairs ". It's terrific, but it is also extremely tough to follow who's who unless you are familiar with the different asian actors.

How can you confuse Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon in this or any movie? Were you drunk? I thought it was very good, I call it Goodfellas with cell phones. So it wasnt nearly as great as Goodfellas but nothing of this kind of film will ever be. I wanted Leo to live but you cant have everything. Hes a really good actor as is Matt Damon (especially when he plays someone from Boston). I dont really care for Jack Nicholson all that much but he was good too.

The Departed was my favortie movie of 2006. Surprised you didn't like it. I'm looking to rent the Asian version as I've also heard good things about that one and don't mind subtitles.

Darn it...I wish I hadn't read this before seeing the movie....
Sorry Sightseek, my bad. One thing about this movie, if you are offended by strong violence, its not for you anyways. I would say it worse than Goodfellas in that respect.

The only movie that has ever bothered me with violence was Pans Labrynth...I don't know what it was about that movie because I've certainly seen more violent, but the Captain really scared me to death. We've watched tons of movies lately, but one that I thought really deserves a watch is Das Boot. Whatever you do though, don't watch the English talk-over version, destroys the movie. Life is Beautiful is probably the only movie that I thought got better by not reading the subtitles because the dialog is so quick.

The Departed......
May not win Best Picture at Sunday's Oscars, but it is the best film I saw in 2006. Superb acting by the entire cast, with the exception of Vera Farmiga, who's character I feel could have been written a little sharper. Your entitled to your opinion, I feel though it wasn't hard to follow at all. The film is 3 hours long, and It was so amazing, I wanted it to be longer!
