An unexpected but appreciated result of my visit at the movie theater.

Rating: 9/10 (22 January 2007)

The other day, my friends and I decided that we wanted to go see the new Scorsese movie; The Departed. As we are not the kind of people who plan our lives to the fullest extent, we had made no reservations and had no idea whether it was playing during day time or not. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, The Departed was not on for another couple of hours, and watching any movie weighed over waiting for 6 hours to see the departed, and so we decided to see the new Will Ferrell movie; Stranger than Fiction.
None of us had even heard the title of the movie and it's safe to say that we all expected a somewhat silly, but oh-so terribly amusing, classic Will Ferrell comedy. How wrong we were. This was a movie to completely change my perception of Will Ferrell, and I appreciate him even more after having seen him in this drastically more serious role. He has proved himself a versatile, highly skillful actor in my book. Hoffman and the rest of the cast also play very well in the movie and the script is amazing. The movie offers much excitement and triggers many emotions. Good job!
