Well Hollywood tried. One of the best directors in history with one of the best casts in history and an ending like the independent film REsevoir Dogs (Go Sundance!). Departed (3/5) is fun to watch although it is extra long, you will not notice. It tries so hard to get nominated for an Oscar it hurts. It might get the nod, but it won't get the win as it is too forced. An A effort anyway.

Little Miss Sunshine Shines
Sundance has done it again as one of the prized selections has hit it big on general release. Little Miss Sunshine (4/5) is the kind of “small” independent film that Sundance invented many years ago when the Mexican art-house hit El Norte (5/5) stormed the USA. Since then Sundance has kept independent film alive discovering and nurturing directors like Quentin Tarrentino and producing a string of wonderful movies like Hustle and Flow (4/5). May Robert Redford and his Sundance films burn brightly forever.
