Can the Jackass guys actually out do themselves? Yes, they can. And this time, they've taken it way too far-depending on whether or not you are a fan of nudity, extreme bathroom and sexual humor, never ending senseless pranks, and things that are so foul and perverted that it's hard to fathom the mind set of these jackasses. You will either love or hate this movie. How the film's cast are all still alive and not paralyzed is the real question.

A cat and mouse game Retail comedy Scorsese finally makes things right with The Departed LukeHkkman Life Editor We all laughed when Jon Stewart cracked jokes about Martin Scorsese for never having won an Oscar at the Academy Awards this year. But I'm sure Scorsese is sitting back saying, "Who's laughing now?" After taking us on a painful flight with The Aviator, many of us thought that Scorsese had lost his touch. What happened to the director that brought us classic hits like Goodfellas, Raging bull, and US FIELD Taxi Driver? Well, get ready, because he's back! The Departed is a fast-paced, highly complex, mob-slash-cop flick with an all-star cast. Jack Nicholson plays Boston's most notorious organized-crime boss, Frank Costello. In an ongoing effort to bring him and his ring down, the state police send new agent Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) to infiltrate his gang as a fresh-out-of-prison criminal. Little do the good guys know, Costello has also placed a mole into RESEARCH their system by getting one of his clean-background men (Matt Damon) into their same department. Not knowing who is who, the two continue pretending to be something their not and dig to find the identities of each other. Though Scorsese can't take credit for the story {The Departed is based on a 2002 Hong Kong film. Infernal Affairs), he can, however, take credit for everything else amazing he did with The Departed. He pulled together one of the tightest casts, including the previously mentioned, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen and Alec Baldwin. The music is so essential to the storytelling that it plays a character itself-the character of pace. The music is what makes you feel tense. It makes you feel emotion. It even makes the normally long runtime, two and a half hours, seem short. Out of all of the movies getting "Oscar buzz" this year, The Departed is the one that earned it the most (so far). You can throw The Black Dahlia out the window along with Hollywoodland. Great performances don't get you anywhere without a great movie. That is where The Departed has all of the others beat. Scorsese covered every single corner with greatness and has really made something that deserves hype and award talk. If you want to see the best crime movie since Michael Mann's Collateral, then definitely don't miss The Departed.
