God damn! This was the best movie of the year.

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2007)

Martin Scorcese by now, has left enough of an imprint of his work that we the audience can recognize his work by things such as extreme violence, 70's rock music, racism and the building and destruction of his characters. The Aviator was a good movie and despite his years in the game, I feel that he's more renown for 'GoodFellas' but I must say that this movie shows that he's honed his craft and being that it contains all of the base elements of his signifying work (as mentioned in the first paragraph) it seems that it's the same stuff and I don't know what the hell I am talking about but by watching it, I don't know, you can just tell. I guess he felt that it's time for him to get a couple of Oscars and if that's the case, this man has hit a home run! No spoilers here but I will say that this movie has to do with the Irish mafia and how they deal with things amidst the corruption and the suffering of trying to stay on the right track amidst loosing your life by slipping up or forgetting who you are. And all the actors (you do have an excellent cast of ACTORS in this) have done an excellent job but Jack Nicholson stole the show with his character. You have close to four hours of pure entertainment and it's good from the beginning to the end!
