The dvd of the critically acclaimed The Departed will be released on Feb 13th. It will be available as a single disc or a two disc special edition. The two disc will feature nine deleted scenes with intoductions by director Martin Scorsese as well as two other featurettes (”The Story of the Boston Mob”, "Crossing Criminal Cultures").

It'll be interesting to see if the DVD extras ("the story of the Boston mob") goes into Whitey Bulger, etc., something nearly mirrored in the film (even though it was a remake). The Bulger story is even more insidious (and interesting). I liked The Departed to a point (especially the performances--they were terrific), but I didn't think it was a great movie (and that could well be because of my prejudice toward the Bulger story). For those who want a taste of the real Boston underworld, I suggest George V. Higgins, of course, but also Rick Marinick's Boyos ... the man knows what he writes and he does it as good as Higgins ever did.
