The Departed – Loyalty is a lie … February 22, 2007
Film genius Martin Scorsese sure knows how to entertain a crowd… His latest movie The Departed is an intriguing story of 2 policemen who are both working undercover, one within the maffia-network of Costello (Jack Nicholson) and the other within the Massachusetts State Police. Good cop versus bad cop? Yeah, but it’s more than that, after living this double life for longer than a year, both men (Leonardo Dicaprio and Matt Damon) are confused and caught up in a web of lies in which they are losing their identity. Their second life as ’spies’ tires them out and takes control over their real life. The astonishing acting by Nicholson, Damon, Dicaprio (my teenage hero) and Walhberg, the intriguing plot and the hilarious quotes make this film one to see!
“When I was your age they used to say you could become cops or criminals. What I’m saying to you is this… When you’re facing a loaded gun, what’s the difference?” (Frank Costello)

Exams – Holiday – School – Movies February 18, 2007
It’s been a while… (jak, this sentence reminds me of a song by Staind, which I REALLY don’t like 
but anyways….). The exames finally finished two weeks ago, and then I got sick. Typically me! I’m always sick in holidays. So, I’ve been in bed for almost a week and then school started again. Shitty? Yes, I know. That’s one of the reasons too why I didn’t blog on my latest adventures, because there simply weren’t any 
Not much of excitement about fever!
Anyways, back to school, which means I’m in Leuven during the week, 500 metres away from the movies…. SOOOO, on monday I saw ‘The pursuit of happYness’. Verdict: corny, but entertaining movie with great acting by Will Smith and his son (his son in the film is by the way his actual son… weird). But TIP: bring handkershiefs, cause it’s sooo emo that you’ll be weeping 113 minutes long, well at least I was
