PREVIEW
Movies opening Friday:
"The Departed": Leonardo DiCaprio and director Martin Scorsese team up again in this remake of the 2002 Hong Kong police thriller "Infernal Affairs." This version is set in a present-day South Boston lorded over by a depraved kingpin named Costello (Jack Nicholson). DiCaprio plays an undercover cop who infiltrates Costello's syndicate, while at the same time a criminal (Matt Damon) has infiltrated the police department as an informer. When it becomes clear to both the gangsters and the police that there's a mole in their midst, each informant must race to uncover the other's identity. (R)
"Employee of the Month": Standup superstar Dane Cook and Dax Shepard face off as stock boy slackers at a Costco-style store who compete for the love of a new checkout girl, played by Jessica Simpson. (PG-13)
"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning": In this prequel to the 1974 horror classic, we find out how the psychopath murderer Leatherface was manipulated by a crooked sheriff into being a tool of evil. And teenagers will be sacrificed again! (R)
