the departed

so finally the departed is making its way to our screens. for those who prefer the comforts of your home tv...the dvd is available at any pirated dvd store. and they claim that it is "clear copy". anyway...went to watch it with my brother earlier today. i'm still wondering whether it would've been better for me to watch the hong kong version before i watch the hollywood version but its too late now. it is a good movie...but not a great movie though. and i'm sure filem negara had a blast trying to cut out all the foul language...they even missed a few and even so...the ones that they did manage to catch were not edited well.

also watch the black dahlia. a tad slow and messy. the trailer was really misleading though. but then again...all trailers are misleading. it had so much potential...oh well.
