Scorsese gets his Oscar but, for the wrong film

Rating: 1/10 (2 June 2007)

Here is a cast of heavy hitters that was good to see in one film. Jack Nicholson's body of work is as thick as a New York City phone book and he has the hardware to back it up. Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon are two of the finest young talent we have today. Martin Sheen and Mark Walberg also have proof in their pudding when it comes to their great careers. Alec Baldwin seems to show up everywhere these days. I was glad to see that Scorsese cast Vera Farminga as Damon love interest. I liked her in the short lived TV cop series "Touching Evil." This complex detective show lasted only one season, I wish USA would have given it more time. Apparently it was too complicated for today's TV audience whose brains have been turned to mush by the onslaught of imbecilic reality television. She is beautiful and sexy and I look forward to seeing more of Vera Farminga.
Martin Scorsese finally won the Oscar he so richly deserved although there were so many other films he should have one for. The world would never have balance without an Oscar in Scorsese hands.
As fares as this movie goes, it stinks!
