The Departed (2006)
Great Movie ! ! ! !
I am a big fan of Martin, and this film made me fall in love with his work all over again. To me a good sign of a movie is that as I am watching it, I get so caught up in it, I hope it never ends. Of course all movies must end, but I love a long ride.
This movie is not predictable, all the time I was watching it, I never had any idea if good or evil would prevail.
Great story, great cast, great editing, this movie tells a story in such a way that I haven't seen in a while.
Something else about the location filmed in Boston. It captured the city well without being a "travelouge", many other films show too much of a famous city, this film showed only the city you needed to see. My wife (a former resident of Boston) pointed that out to me.
Definitely the best movie of 2006. I'd go watch this movie tomorrow, as a matter of fact, I think I will.
Thanks Marty.

The Comeback (2005)
Shame on HBO !
This show is so special, so unique, it parodies reality shows 1,000,000% It is a great comedy. This show is very accessible. It should have done more seasons following Valerie from a TV comeback through movies, or a her own talk show, or her doing a voice over for a documentary. I have a lot of ideas that HBO should have done with this movie. I have seen Lance Barber (Paulie G) at Second City in Chicago, he kills !!!!!! Lance is a great talent, yet he is tasteful enough to underplay his role in the comeback and not be a cartoon. I am now a life long fan of him. I love this show, my wife and I have the video and we savor every carwreck moment like a fine wine.
I personally hate all reality shows, I think they are an absurd waste of time. But this is my favorite reality show. It shows truth.
This show is too good for TV, that's why HBO did it. And as for the cancelling, Shame on you HBO, your losing your edge. I'd rather see this than ROME anyday ! Please don't f*ck up Curb Your Enthusiasm, I beg you !!!!!!
