Mystic River: ****1/2. The Best Actor race is now a heated three-way between Johnny Depp, Bill Murray, and Sean Penn, who is all kinds of awesome here.

I saw the trailer for Tim Burton's Big Fish. It will either be really good or absolutely unbearable. Not sure which yet.

Oh, and the Red Sox. I'm disappointed, but not surprised, really. I mean, it's the Red Sox. I'm used to it. "Wait till next year," as Dodger fans used to say. And still say, I'd imagine. Next year's dream playoffs -- Astros vs. Dodgers in the NLCS; Red Sox vs. Mariners in the ALCS. I think I would have a stroke trying to decide who to root for.

So it's the Greatest Team Ever vs. Those Crazy Marlins for the prize. As much as I hate the Yankees, they probably are the best team in baseball. You'd have to be a lunatic to bet against them.

Marlins in seven.
