Next, I put in the Blu-ray of THE DEPARTED. I've only watched about 90 minutes (have another hour to do), but it is a very compelling Boston mob drama. Very fascinating parallel of Matt Damon and Leo DiCaprio in "mole" positions in their respective squads.
Mark Walburg definitely deserved his supporting actor Oscar nomination (he's hilarious), and DiCaprio would have been nominated for this is he hadn't made BLOOD DIAMOND the same year. Damon is superb, too. Really, four of these actors should rightfully have earned nominations for this movie (Jack Nicholson should have been the fourth), and only Walburg did. Funny how those things work.
