The Departed, a review by Eric

The Departed

I'm really not a big fan of Leonardo, I actually think he's a pretty bad actor and I disliked most the movies of his that I've seen.  However IMO Nicholson and Damon are just about as good as one can be so that was enough to make me watch this movie although I knew I would have to suffer through DiCaprio's scenes.

This is quite an interesting movie where just everybody is a rat and/or double agent.  The idea of having a police agent who infiltrated a criminal group and a criminal from that group who infiltrated the police chasing each other without knowing who's who opens up endlessly possibilities of rebounds and surprises which are very well exploited in that movie.  I think however that the movie would have been just as good with a little less violence and blood.

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Sliders



What's the show about?
Quinn Mallory and his friends travel through alternate universes. But there are a few catches. But they cannot control when they have to "slide" or where they are going to land. Nor do they find the way to their own homeworld. Every universe can be totally different from what they know or it's really close to their own reality.

"Pilot"
Quinn Mallory tried to invent an anti-gravity machine but came up with something totally different. Without knowing where his jump would end he jumps through a wormhole and ends up in his basement - right where he started. But he has soon to learn that this is not his basement - at least not his-his. After having successfully returned to his own reality he invites his professor for physics and his friend Wade for another trip...

My Opinion
I really liked the show until the season where the professor died and Wade disappeared. After that the show lost it's touch especially with the Kromaggs.
