Dearly Departed


So Scorsese, or the human eye-brow as he is otherwise know, has finally been given an Oscar, although this year it would appear to have been given out of pity rather than any genuine sense of Movieland achievement.

The Departed is a, sadly, inferior remake of a Hong Kong movie entitled "Infernal Affairs", starring Andu Lau and Tony Leung, but even with such heavy-weight actors as Jack Nicholson, playing - yes you guessed it, Jack Nicholson, the films never lives up to the hype or the original.

Every year Scorsese comes out with another shitty movie, trying desperately to make another Goodfellas and every year we get the same calls for an Oscar for what are usually two hours plus of drivel. The only exception this year is that he actually got one.

Adam Sandler - your time shall be soon.
