Leo DiCaprio Got Popped In The Head!

Just saw The Departed. And I agree with the critics, the movie was great. Martin Scorsese at his best.

I think this movie also finally earns Leonardo DiCaprio the genuine respect of serious moviegoers. Not only because he got popped in the head real nasty.

Because if you're not familiar with his pre-Titanic career you will find it hard to look at him beyond the pretty face. If you want to understand why some of us actually like him go to your nearest movie rental shop and get What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Basketball Diaries, This Boy's Life, and even Baz Luhrman's Romeo & Juliet.

He was the celebrated Indie Boy. I was a bit skeptikal that he could regain his Hollywood status after disappearing from the scene when Titatic raked in $1 billion and turned him into a poster boy superstar. Maybe he needed to go away.

After that he came back stronger. And working only for legendary directors like Scorsese and Steven Spielberg. Upon his comeback everybody still want a piece of him. Why? Because he's plain good.

Anyway, here's our review of The Departed =)
