I have not seen the movie yet. I am however, a big fan of Martin's as well as the ensemble cast that assembled for the film. It is not often that you get a group with chops like this together and get them to perform at this level. I had also forgotten how often Martin and Leo had worked together in the past: Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, and the upcoming movie on Teddy Roosevelt.
It is usually like a bunch of NBA all starts competing together. There just is not enough ball to go around for these guys so it turns into a big one upsmanship contest dripping in ego.
I just purchased the wide screen edition and am looking forward to a screening this weekend. I briefly toyed with the idea of trying to view most of the nominated films before the Oscars and wasn't sure if I would even like them. I tend to prefer movies to films, getting my intellectual candy from print rather than cinema.
