The Aviator
This film proves Martin Scorsese to be the greatest living director in America today. Leonardo DiCaprio nailed Howard Hughes, and Cate Blanchett is perhaps best actress of the last ten years. I was never a DiCaprio fan, and while I loved Gangs of New York, I thought that had to do with Jim Broadbent and Daniel Day Lewis. I can't say that the supporting cast was the reason I enjoyed this film. Leo was terrific, Scorsese did what he does, and The Aviator was fantastic. ****
