Scorsese scores with stunning Hughes biography

No luck at the Oscars for Martin Scorsese, but The Aviators (BuenaVista) is nevertheless a thrilling film, now available on an excellent double disc title.

Leonardo DiCaprio gives an absorbing performance as legendary figure Howard Hughes, the playboy/test pilot/film producer whose transition from boy wonder to successful pioneer masks a troubled genius whose life would take a dramatic lurch later on.
