Marty still rocks

Ok, I have a confession to make. I didn't like "The Departed". Not even a little bit. I wanted to -- I'm a New York Italian so my loyalty to Marty runs deep. There were parts that weren't horrible. I liked Leonardo DiCaprio. I liked Matt Damon - he played an asshole really well. I didn't even mind that it was about Boston. But it was poorly written, whatever dialogue coach trained Jack Nicholson should be shot dead and the editor was on crack. It was bad. Very very bad.

If he wasn't the same man who made two of my all-time favorite movies, I'd be disappointed in Scorsese for life. But everyone makes mistakes.
