According to the venerable Sun, Mark Wahlberg thinks that super-skinny coke fiend model Kate Moss looks like his nephew. The stick-figured Moss is a "a very pretty nephew," but a nephew nonetheless. We don't know if we're more disturbed by Moss's extreme thinness or Wahlberg's willingness to find nephews "pretty." Young Wahlbergs, watch out. Marky Mark may also be going out on tour with his Funky Bunch again soon--he says "All your wildest dreams come true on tour.” more ›

Just minutes after midnight The Departed took home two big awards. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences started handing out Oscar statues at around 8:45 pm (here on the east coast, much earlier for those watching it in Hollywood). The Departed was our local favorite and hit 4 out of 5. Alan Arkin, who won the Oscar for Actor in a Supporting Role, may have been good in Little Miss Sunshine but we've got no regrets in our unabashed support of Mark Wahlberg in his first Academy Award nomination. The film based in Massachusetts with scenes filmed around Boston took home the other four awards for which it was nominated. The Oscar went to The Departed for:
- Film Editing: Thelma Schoonmaker
- Writing (Adapted Screenplay): (the North Shore's own) William Monahan
- Directing: (eight time nominee) Martin Scorsese
- Best Picture more ›

Sitting through two minutes and thirty seconds of a trailer can sometimes be painful.The trailer is for The Departed, which spent about a month last year filming exterior shots in town, had us watching closely and hitting repeat for the places we know.

Chinatown looks amazingly like a fantastic destination,... more ›

In a world where there's nothing to do but watch movies. In a city full of theaters, museums, and libraries. One moviegoer who can be in three places at once. This week's films are full of things Bostonist can't say no to (classic movies with classic martinis), things we couldn't stop if we tried (fate, modern architecture), and the purple chunk of the Venn diagram where those two categories overlap (zombies). Cocktails! Cary Grant! Friday... more ›
