slayers_creek_oth:
Ok thanks again...
Next: The Gangs of New York...Martin Scorsese....not a real big fan of his...plus he has this strange obesssion with Leo DiCaprio...or vice versa...but anyways....is this a drag like The Aviator was (at least IMO)?
serious crayons:
I liked GoNY, too! But then, I like Scorcese, DiCaprio AND The Aviator, so take that into account. But the best part of GoNY is Daniel Day Lewis -- his character is really compelling and scary, even if he does walk around in tall top hats and plaid pants. It's about a fascinating period in New York City history.
You pick interesting movies, Chris.

This is an ambitious film, and Scorsese's intelligence is never in question, but I deem this movie to be overall a failure. It has a sprawling feel to it, lacking cohesion and even purpose. It is distinguished by handsome art direction and a cast of actors who give their all but are unable to overcome the flawed material. Still worth checking out for anyone interested in this period of New York's history, or counts themselves a Scorsese fan.
