I'm going to be honest, walking into the advanced screening tonight I was expecting an overly chick flicky somewhat dull comedy. What I got instead was a pretty hilarious movie with just the right amount of romance and a whole lot of vulgar comedy also. I can honestly say this is the funniest movie of 2008 so far. The entire Judd Apatow crew has overall had about 4 or five great comedies in the last 3 years, putting them up with all the other great comedy film makers since 2005. This movie makes me feel like I can now trust any movie they make most the time. When this movie hits theatres in April, GO SEE IT. I promise you won't find a funnier movie out any time soon.

I'm going to be very honest here. This was one of the best movies to come out all year long. I'm a sucker for post apocalyptic movies like this one. But this movie had great cinematography, a great story, pretty decent acting, and the sheer chaos that stays constant keeps you on the edge of your seat for the entire movie. This was on par with the departed, Borat, and all the other great films to come out this year. The one thing i thought was kinda week was how they killed off julianne moore and michael caine so quickly. I mean, one scene moore is alive and the next minute shes dead, i thought they could've added more. But Clive Owen does an excellent job acting his part and so do most others. Michael Caine looks like an old ass John Lennon and acts like it too. If it was possible i'd say this movie might have been nominated for best picture.

I've seen most of gangs of new york and i've seen the aviator. Neither hold a candle to this movie. It felt great seeing Scorsese going back to his gangster roots. It's what he needed to do. My friend did tell me it was the same exact premise of the Japanese movie infernal affairs, and as i looked up this movie after i saw it, i wasn't surprised to see that it was worked on by some of the same writers as the Japanese movie. So i guess this is just an American version of it, which kind of disappointed me that the idea wasn't fully original. Plus towards the end it gets a little TOO crazy. But i was still satisfied with the ending itself, didn't leave anything unanswered. So in the long run, i highly suggest seeing this movie, Its well worth the $8.25.
