The Departed

Directed by Martin Scorcese

Starring Jack Nicholson, Leonardo Dicaprio, Matt Damon and Mark Whalburg

Set in Boston, Massechusus with a mixtured theme of the late 20th century and early 21st century style. The story follows a police officer (Leonard Dicaprio) who has gone undercover in the Boston underworld as an informant for the Boston police's special unit. It is his job to infaltrate Boston kingpin (Jack Nicholson). However, whilst this is going on the mob has its own informant (Matt Damon) within the Boston police department.

A very good plot as both the police and the mob hit cross roads as each informant disrupts the business they are informing in in the hope to benefit their own faction.

A realy exciting, sometimes comical (thanks to Nicholson) film that also shows details of the strain it takes to work deep for the police or the mob.

Nicholson is full of chrasima, humour and intensity whilst Decaprio shines as a tough guy (once he grows a goatie) who is dealing with the reality that his job has entered him into. Damon does well due to the fact that you really start to hate his character and Whalberg is great playing a serious no nonsense police detective.

As the movie moves from fast pace to extremelly fast pace the only problem your have is trying to work out the reason why he killed him and he killed him etc, etc as scorcese is not shy to kill of characters even maybe some or all of the main characters?

Thru' the Night

I have noticed that the time stamp at the end of posts is widely wrong. fyi this is being posted at 1:05am in the wee hours of cyf night shift...i just googled youth blogs and it came back with 23,200,000 sites - proof that young people are using blogs to express themselves. Runing down the list a little, here is an interesting one called voices of youth an international blog run by unicef that gives a truly global perspective about what young people are facing...

For the IT Suite

I have been testing a new browser flock which will be a great tool for residents that have a myspace page - "Flock is an amazing new web browser that makes it easier to share media and connect to other people online. Share photos, automatically stay up-to-date with new content from your favorite sites, and search the Web with the most advanced Search Toolbar available today"...let's see if it catches on!
