The Aviator (Blu-ray)
One of the 20th century's most compelling figures, Howard Hughes was a wily industrialist, glamorous movie producer and unstoppable American innovator - but he thought of himself first and foremost as an aviator. In this spectacular epic, director Martin Scorsese focuses on the most prolific period in the life of Hughes (played by Best Actor Golden Globe Award winner Leonardo DiCaprio): the mid-1920's through the 1940's. It was a time of brilliant aeronautical invention, turbulent love affairs (including one with Katherine Hepburn, played by Cate Blanchett) and savage corporate battles. Prepare yourself for the ride of the lifetime of this billionaire, genius, madman.

Solid Film, Leo does it again - vsodhi
A film based on aviation legend Howard Hughes and his rise to fame, the Aviator begins with Hughes’ early beginnings, and chronicles his life all the way to his controversial end. Leonardo Di Caprio further establishes his role as one of hollywood’s premier actors in this film, playing the eccentric Hughes perfectly. For the most part the film doesn’t deviate much from history, with the exception of a few forgiveable additions for the sake of entertainment value. A great film, highly recommended.
