The Bob Perspective
Welcome one and all to the very first issue of the Bob Perspective. I would like to thank Jason for allowing me to have my little corner in his great site. But anyways!! Enough with the boot licking. Jason and I will be doing our critiques of the same movie. Will it be the recommended movie? Or possibly the stink hole "Movies to avoid like the Plague"? Only time will tell.
The first Bob perspective movie...............ever!!!
The Departed
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon Directed by: Matrin Scorsese RATED R (for lot's o' blood and lot's of "F" Bombs...oh and drugs....can't forget the sweet sweet drugs.) Original Release: 2006 Genre: Drama The Low Down: The Movie is about Billy Constigan (DiCaprio) and Colin Sullivan (Damon), two men on different sides with the same objective...Find the Rat. Constigan a man on the law's side infiltrating the Mob and Sullivan on the Mob side infiltrating the Police. Who will find who first? Scorecard: Acting: This was The Departed's greatest greatest field. The wickedly sexy Leonardo DiCaprio stunned everyone with this blockbuster performance. He really did his homework studying this extremely hard character. He expressed the conflict inside him of having to lie, cheat, and even kill to convince a Mob boss that he is "for real" brilliantly and should have been praised far more than he did. I think I'm all hot and bothered now. This is not to take away from Matt Damon who had a similar role. Matt Damon put in a good effort and it paid off. He was convincing, and that's all he had to me. Jack Nicholson played his usual somewhat crazy and extremely bad hair styled character (Can you say "About Schmidt"?) He had is moments of glory like his tirade about not having to have Pu**y anymore....absolutely enlightening. (1) Direction: It's about damn time Martin Scorsese got something at the academy. He has brought such great films as Gangs of New York (to hell with you Jason I thought the movie was great!), The Aviator, and the GoodFellas. I was totally interested in this movie. I was at the edge of my seat surprised my twists and thought the general style of the movie was done extremely well done. Bravo Martin, you deserved your Oscar. (1) Story: This was a fairly good story. I wasn't completely wowed by the ingenuity of it, but it wasn't another cheap rehash of the same thing. Hard category for this movie, but I have to go with a (1/2) Expectations: I thought this was going to be an "OK" movie when i first saw it. I've never been a Jack Nicholson fan. Poor Matt Damon doesn't get anything great either. My only hope was Leo. I was truly surprised by this film. (1) Boring?: Absolutely not. like I said earlier, I was very intrigued by this movie. I thought it flowed well and it didn't feel like it's fairly long running time of 2 hours and 30 Minutes. There are action moments and there are buildup moments, both used properly, you get The Departed. (1) The Wild Card is a category of my own creation that if a movie deserves certain recognition (no matter how bad the movie) it should be rewarded (possible 1/2 point) Wild Card: This movie was great in it's own right, but, other than some of Jack's one liners, I don't feel that this movie had anything that I would consider Wild Card worthy. What is Wild Card worthy? Just keep coming back and find out. Final Score: 41/2 out of 5 The Bob Perspective: This was one of my favorite movies of all time. It was well acted, well directed, and had good flow to the movie. It was continuing the great momentum that Leonardo DiCaprio is building and one day he will be recognized with a shiney new Oscar. I'm sure Jason won't agree with some of my thoughts, but who cares, this is my Perspective which is the only perspective worth calling...The Bob Perspective
