I keep forgetting what a good actor Leonardo De Caprio is, but as always I'm reminded in this movie. This movie won 5 Academy Awards and was nominated for best picture, and it is a very good movie. Filled with an all star cast including Alan Alda, Cate Blanchett, Kate Beckinsale, John C. Reily, Alec Baldwin, and even Gwen Stefani, this movie delivers a great story. The only problem, it's a very long story.
Personally, I have been fascinated by Howard Hughes since I was a child, so the movie was perfect for me, and it even left out a lot of his life. However, what a fascinating life he had. He was incredibly intelligent, good looking, and quite a ladies man despite his odd personality. But it seems like Martin Scorsese tried to cram all of Hughes' life into the movie. He did an admirable job and this one is definitely a good movie, but you might want to again break it up into two nights of viewing; it's 170 minutes long.
Beautiful shot, and wonderfully entertaining. Just Queue It!
