I liked the Departed, but after giving the viewing a little space, I feel like the Departed is really only a glorified action movie. I wish it could have been more intimate and grittier. Instead it plays in the same vein as Gangs of New York as an epic Hollywood movie, which is fine. It's just a movie that you see, enjoy, and leave at the door.

I'm looking forward to the coming weekend. It's going to be a great day for film buffs: The Prestige by Christopher Nolan, Marie Antoinette by Sofia Coppola, and Flags of Our Fathers by Clint Eastwood all coming out.

Which ones are you planning on seeing?
