The Departed - That Infernal Hollywood

Great Film!!! Comes off as a bit of a poor mans Goodfellas at times to me, but then this is probably to do with the music cues and maybe because of the Directors style. Hardly gonna slag off Scorcese though am I?????? Yeah. Oooooooh the undercover cop is going deep deep deep undercover. Oh god!!! He fell off the roof! No surprises are there Hollywood as anyone worth their salt had seen the original. Maybe not a reason to judge a movie but then remake it after 20 years to give us time to forget. At least Marky Mark rocks in his role as foul mouthed Copper though.

Four Brothers - Hey Ya!!

Four brothers, out to avenge their mothers death. Good Cops,bad Cops, what you gonna do? Drug dealing kingpin black guys, snowy Detroit streets, Balxploitation,Street talk and Marky Mark frowning. It might have been cleverer than I thought,but I just didn't get with it. It's style looked dated, maybe it was supposed to. But don't they do this kind of thing on The Wire now? Movies need to evolve.
