The Aviator
A grand entertainment. Over the top Scoreseseismo, but great fun. Leoanrdo DiCaprio is terrific, although I thought he was a bit too young to play the part. Cate Blanchett is great too; Kate Beckinsale is terrible, though nice to look at. Alan Alda's scenes with DiCaprio are wonderful and Alec Baldwin and Willem DeFoe are present as well. Three hours, but it doesn't seem that long.
A big, Hollywood movie in the best sense. One would think Scorsese will finally win his Best Directing Oscar.
