    The Many Saints of Newark

    ★★★

    Good movie overall, HUGE fan of cinematography/color in this movie. Good performance from the supporting cast and Young Tony, questionable beats from Dickie but solid flow. The story is a bit thin; no real buy-in to the characters. I also appreciated that the producers kept the original director from The Sopranos and much of the real cast; however, this is at the expense of quality in favor of fan service.

    The Departed

    ★★★★½

    Another solid Scorsese film. Great fast paced editing that juxtaposes the slow burn of the film and creates the "Scorsese Film" look. Dialogue in the film felt natural and the subplots and plot twists brought emotion out of me, both good and bad. My lone critique is that I would’ve preferred that the main character survived in the end, but that’s also the traditionalist in me speaking Overall, solid acting from a star-studded cast, and a great movie for anyone looking for a tense crime/thriller.

    Decent Rom-Com. Doesn’t necessarily add anything new to the genre, but still a fun story. A little predictable at times, but overall solid. MBJ in a comedy role is fun to see, and the relationship between the three, male actors seems authentic (Director made them live together for 15 days)
