When I say quick, I mean quick. There's a lot to talk about this morning, so I'll keep these short.

Marie Antoinette: Lots of delicious cakes, not enough beheadings for my taste. It's very pretty and the contemporary music works better than I thought it would, but it seems a little pointless to make a movie about Marie Antoinette and not make some sort of explicit political commentary. VERDICT: If you're a fan of period pictures, French pastries, and beautiful shoes, you'll enjoy this movie.

The Departed: Scorsese's best film since Goodfellas. The best performances of Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio's careers. Alec Baldwin is the unsung hero here. Every major actor in the film deserves an Oscar nomination. If you like Reservoir Dogs style endings, you'll love the Departed. VERDICT: DROP EVERYTHING AND GO SEE THIS MOVIE.

Best Line from Alec Baldwin in The Departed:
"I'm gonna go have a smoke right now. You want a smoke? You don't smoke, do ya, right? What are ya, one of those fitness freaks, huh? Go fuck yourself." (he spits this line out in under 2 seconds)

PS: From the Onion: Martin Scorsese's Next Film To Be Three Hours Of Begging For Oscar. I tell ya, if he doesn't win for this, it'll never happen: "Scorsese has lost to almost every major American filmmaker in his career, including actor–director Kevin Costner, who went on to create Waterworld and The Postman."
