Dearly Departed

Well, better late than never.

I finally caught "The Departed" on dvd tonight.

What a good movie. Great story. Total powerhouse lineup of actors too. Actually reminded me a bit of "L.A. Confidential" - which I also loved.

While I won't blow the movie for anyone who hasn't seen it, those of you who have seen it might agree that it had a novel way of wrapping up loose ends.

Oh, and I feel a certain kinship with the film for one other reason:

It uses the word "f*ck" or some variation two hundred and thirty-seven times.

Which is about the same as me on an average day. (wink)
