I got to see the 300 trailer this past weekend before the movie The Departed. Wow! It’s so beautiful. If you haven’t seen it, check it out at apple.com. The movie is based on the Battle of Thermopylae where 300 Spartan warriors fought the entire Persian army in a suicide mission to buy Greece time to prepare for the Persian invasion. If the look and feel of the movie seems familiar, think Frank Miller (Sin City).

As for the movie The Departed, I thought it was ok. I think it’s more of a guy movie as every guy seems to absolutely LOVE the movie. I think it kind of got ruined for me because my friends made it seem like there would be a twist so I kept waiting for a huge twist at the end. Instead, (warning, spoilers ahead!!) everybody just got shot. I also absolutely hate mark wahlberg. I don’t know why but he bugs me to no end. And despite him having the best lines in the movie, it just bothered me that he was the one saying them. Haha. So yeah, I can’t believe this movie has gotten such astounding reviews including many people saying it’s “Movie of the Year”. Oh, and another part that really bugged me was when Leonardo gave the psychologist girl the envelope and told her to open it when he died. Well, he died and they never showed her opening it. WTF was in the envelope!! I guess it was probably evidence that Matt Damon was “bad” but still, I would just like to know. Otherwise what was the point of that scene? I think I also would have liked it better if they followed the chinese version of the movie and let Matt Damon live.
Jack Nicholson rules though.
