Jack Nicholson and Matt Damon in The Departed opening this weekend.

FirstShowing Weekend Suggestion: Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. But if horror isn't your cup 'o tea, then The Departed is where it's at. A strong cast and fantastic writing and directing from the one and only Martin Scorsese make this one of the best films of the year.
