Caught 2 movies over the past week. The first show was "The Departed" and the other was "Little Miss Sunshine"

Infernal Affairs is one of my favourite movie, thus when The Departed came out, I knew I had to go watch it, since it is a remake of the earlier. Jack Nicholson is really awesome in the show. As Frank Costello, the Irish mob boss, he terrifies everyone in the show. 1 particular scene I remember is when he was interogating Leonardo di Caprio to find out if he is the mole in the gang. I think he should be getting an Oscar for his efforts.

Overall, the film is good, but I preferred the Hong Kong version. The Hong Kong version is more stylised and the acting is more "distributed" among the actors.

I had no idea what I was getting into before watching Little Miss Sunshine. I had never heard of the show before and thus, I did not know what to expect. However, at the end of the show, there was no regret at all, as I throughly enjoyed myself. This show is about a family who takes on a road trip during the wekeend, so as to send the youngest daughter fro a beauty contest. It shows how the family got closer together over the forced weekend spent in the yellow Volkswagen van,which always breaks down. The whole theatre burst out in laughter hwenever the family has to push the van and run to hop on to it as the van is moving. Little Miss Sunshine is those type of feel good movies and I must say, I really felt better after watching it.
