I saw two movies this weekend! Saturday night I saw The Departed while I was visiting my brother and cousins in Dallas, and the other movie I saw tonight in Austin, The Last Kiss. Both of these movies were wonderful, and I recommend seeing them.

The Departed has a wide cast with many well-known actors. Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Wahlberg, and Alec Baldwin were just a few. This movie is an extremely violent movie, with a little humor, and a little suspense. It's abput these two characters who are undercover, one as a police man and the other in the Irish Mafia. What I liked most about this movie was the well thought out plot. The whole synopsis of the movie was awesome. I would explain more of what it is about, but it might give details away. If you go to see this movie that you do, get through the first twenty min, then it will start to make since. I was really confused in the beginning, but by the end it all comes together. Just to be warned the movie is rated R so if you go to see it with relatives (parents) some scenes may be slightly awkward, and this film is also very gory and graphic. This movie is also about two and half hours long.

The second movie, somewhat of a chick flick, but not quite, was The Last Kiss, which was also a fantastic movie. I didn't like how the movie seemed to just cut off at the end, but Zack Braff does a really good job with it. This movie will make you angry, sad, and happy all at the same time. Rachel Bilson also does a really good job at acting, in my opinion, but her character is a little naughty, and just to be warned if you like this actress (like I do), be prepared that you may not like her in this movie. The music in this film is also wonderful, and I know I will probably buy the soundtrack! Again this movie is also rated R, so if you are seeing it with relatives (parents) some scenes might be extremely awkward!

As an obsessor of "Garden State", I have been looking forward to "The Last Kiss"! Im glad you enjoyed it because now I feel more secure about spending money on seeing it! And Im almost just as excited for the music as I am for the movie!
