Flyin' High!

The Aviator (2004)

Starring: Leonardo Dicapricio, Madonna Directed by: Martin Scorcese Rating: PG-13 Genre: Drama Other

Review Leo Dicapricio, so fantastic as little jockey Red Smith in last year's Black Beauty, sparkles as bandleader and World War I flying ace Howard Hughes in Marty Scorcese's tribute to those daredevils of yesteryear. Feisty spitfire Madonna is surprisingly spot-on as Hughes' sometime companion Marilyn Monroe, and Kate Hepburn makes a delightful cameo appearance as herself (digitally enhanced, no doubt, by those technical wizards at Industrial Lights and Magic) in what may be the craziest movie of the year. I smell Oscar all over this one. Leave the kidlets at home though - It's a fleshly feast for the hormones. Enjoy!
