So Supa, being the movie fanatic she is, took a break from studying to go peep Scorsese's latest flic The Departed - long story short, she enjoyed the shits. Classic Scorsese - Eye-talian mobster crime drama with dark comedic moments and plenty of shoot 'em up and gore; moral ambiguity with the characters across the board: Nicholson was a raving lunatic, Mark Wahlberg was sinister and delightful (with his fine white boy ass), Damon took his kid-from-Southie personna to new levels, and Leo earned my respect by actin' his ass off and basically morphing into a mini-Ray Liotta...
The movie was a tad long (2 1/2 hours) and Supa had BIG BIG problems with the ending (no spoilers) - but it was 7 bucks well spent. (matinee, yo). Supa agrees with the critics, it'll be up for a gang of awards come Oscar time. Go check it.Supa's Top Three Favorite Scorsese flics:
1. Casino
2. Goodfellas
3.
Bringing Out the Dead/Taxi Driver (tie)
Yours??
My favo was Casino. I can watch it over and over agin everyday.
ReplyDeleteI heard on the radio that Shaq and his wife were complaining about the racist dialogue. I have yet to see the movie so I don't know. What I don't understand is why these Black celebrities will protest this and NOT some of these sh!tty a$$ movies that are being masquaraded as "Black movies" and targeted to the Black consumer.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog by the way! And I loved Goodfellas
Finally, someone recognizes Casino and Goodfellas for the masterpieces that they are. (Check out my favorite movies . No doubt, De Niro is a great actor. I am hoping I can catch "The Departed" this weekend and then the original version Internal Affairs sometime later. What's your favorite classic movie?

When you're sitting in a movie theatre in an all White town, that shit will hit you like a sledgehammer to hear that on screen. Trust me, that's how I saw The Departed. It was dope, though.
