The Avitator

Much better than I expected.

I'm not a huge Leo DiCaprio fan, but he was phenomenal in this movie. Much better than in Gangs of New York. I expected this year's Oscar race to be Jamie Foxx's to lose, but after seeing The Aviator, I don't know if that will be the case (Ray is on my rental list).

While the movie was long, it was gorgeous and had a great cast. Cate Blanchett (another so-so actor, in my opinion) was fantastic as Kate Hepburn and John C. Reilly did what he does best...support the big names with a solid performance.

I really think that The Aviator may finally get Scorsese his long overdue Best Director Oscar, but we will see.

IMDb Rating: 7 out of 10.
