I want to check it out, do you know if it's rentable? It must be. But first I need to check out all of the Scorsese movies I've missed. (And you said Star Wars is based on an Asian film??? Really???

He was very, very thin in that movie, and totally mesmerizing (in the good way), and I remember thinking, "Damn, here's the next new star."<BR/><BR/>I also remember seeing Affleck in something. That craptastic Amy movie. Bleh. Everything about it sucked except the skateboarder dude who played opposite him.

Why didn't the girl open the envelope after Leo died? Whose baby was it? How could he have killed the best president we've had in a very long time? The acting was great, but I do have questions. And then there's the problem with your brain after watching all those reality shows. Much better to stick to "Grey's Anatomy," which is so full of angst that it feels much more real.<BR/><BR/>PAMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403949.post-1160757284463724312006-10-13T09:34:00.000-07:002006-10-13T09:34:00.000-07:00The Departed, from the Hong Kong films Mou gaan do...The Departed, from the Hong Kong films Mou gaan dou (2002) And the prequel Mou gaan dou II(2003).
