I really want to see The Departed, but before I do I made sure I saw the original Hong Kong film, Infernal Affairs and I absolutely loved it. The Departed will have to do a lot to match the style, atmosphere and overall greatness of Infernal Affairs.
I also just saw Edmond starring William H Macy, in what was a really weird, but really fascinating film. It's not for the faint of heart and there's some really powerful acting by Macy as well as by Julia Stiles, who only has a very short role in the film. A really different and weird film, but an entertaining one nonetheless.
So for this week,
Infernal Affairs (2002) -
