The worst of the best
It feels a little harsh to call Shutter Island the "worst" of all the movies Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio have made together, but unfortunately, something has to take the bottom spot. In no way should that imply that Shutter Islandis a bad movie because, as a dark psychological thriller/mystery movie, it works pretty well. It begins with a U.S. Marshal investigating the disappearance of a patient from a high-security psychiatric facility, only to morph into something much more comple...
DiCaprio's tour-de-force
Of all the movies Martin Scorsese has directed Leonardo DiCaprio in, there's an argument to be made that The Aviator is their most ambitious, and also maybe the one that was least likely to have mass appeal. It's a biopic that runs close to three hours in length, telling the dramatic life story of Howard Hughes, focusing particularly on his life between the years 1927 and 1947. To say Hughes accomplished and went through a great deal throughout this time in his life would be a massive underst...
Daniel Day-Lewis steals the show
Gangs of New York is an uneven movie, sure, but at its best, it's honestly a thrilling and very engaging watch. It's a historical crime epic that surpasses earlier Scorsese movies like Goodfellas and Casino when it comes to scale, though perhaps not quality. It takes place in the 1860s in the crime-infested New York City neighborhood of Five Points and revolves around warring gangs in the area. At the center of the action is DiCaprio's character, who seeks revenge against Bill the Butcher for...
Scorsese's ticket to the Oscar stage
A crime/thriller movie that's as violent as it is frequently profane, The Departed represents Martin Scorsese at his most energetic as a director and Leonardo DiCaprio at his loudest as an actor. The 2007 Best Picture winner, a remake of Hong Kong's 2002 film Infernal Affairs, centers on a criminal gang sending one of their own undercover within the police force and the police sending an undercover cop to infiltrate the same gang. As expected, this eventually results in an intense game of cat...
Scorsese and DiCaprio's latest masterpiece
Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Robert De Niro. Those three names in succession should be enough to make plenty of people interested in Killers of the Flower Moon, which sees Scorsese collaborating with his two favorite actors for the same feature film. All three are in top form here, as is Lily Gladstone, who plays the third lead, with the film's story revolving around a series of numerous murders committed against the Osage people during the 1920s in Oklahoma. Killers of the Flower...
A profane ode to excess
The Wolf of Wall Street manages to top even The Departed when it comes to profanity, and it contains a great deal more debauchery, drug use, and racy content to boot. Before Killers of the Flower Moon, it also stood as the longest film Scorsese and DiCaprio had made together, with a runtime of three hours. The fast pace, in-your-face content, and long runtime do make the film a little exhausting to watch, but it uses various excesses to comment on... well, the excesses and greed that come wit...
