Who Wants to See SHUTTER ISLAND With the Movie Geeks?
You love Martin Scorsese. We all love Martin Scorsese. That’s why we are all excited for his next film, SHUTTER ISLAND, which is hitting theaters a little later than some of us expected it to. However, a lucky few of you will be able to see it a full three days prior to its February 19th release. We have passes to give away to the screening at the Galaxy 14 Mega Screen on Tuesday, February 16th, at 7:00 PM
First and foremost, this is a St. Louis screening. If you will not be in St. Louis on February 9th, please do not enter this contest.
All you have to do is shoot us a comment in the section below explaining your favorite Scorsese/Leonardo DiCaprio collaboration and why. We want some good reasons here, as we only have a limited amount of passes to hand out. Saying DiCaprio is hot isn’t reason enough to love his work. We all know he’s hot, okay? We’ve all come to terms with that. What we are looking for is something a little more illustrative. We’ll be picking the winners this weekend, so get a move on.
And, if you’re not one of the lucky winners, be sure to check out SHUTTER ISLAND when it hits theaters on February 19th.
My favorite collaboration of theirs has got to be "The Departed." It's such a great film and the acting by everyone in that movie was superb.
My favorite Martin Scorsese/Leonardo DiCaprio collaboration is "The Aviator." Great acting, great special effects, interesting look at the transformation of Howard Hughes throughout his life. The ending scene had a sense of "here we go again with Howard."
My favorite collaboration was "The Aviator." I've always been fascinated with airplanes and, working at Boeing at the time, it was amazing to learn a bit about the history of one of the men who has made Boeing what it is today.
My favorite collaboration was The Departed. In this movie I thought Leo did not look especially “hot”. You were able to forget about that and focus on the acting, which was great. I loved the ending, very unexpected. It was not the normal “bad guys lose, good guys win” ending. Which is very unusual for American movies.
the aviator, a great picture, i was totally captivated by it, he really nailed howard hughes!
My favorite was "The Departed' because it was a great movie. Mark Wahlberg and Jack Nicholson were also other good actors in it. It won the academy award for best picture. Obviously it was good. Great story and extertaining.
I loved "Gangs of New York"… one of my all-time favorites. Leo was excellent as Amsterdam, especially when he plots revenge against the Butcher (Daniel Day-Lewis). Scorsese set up a world in New York that was horrific. I was mesmerized. I can't wait to see what Scorsese does with "Shutter Island."
Gangs of New York
Beat actor did an awesome job. The scenes were intense and really drug you into the movie.
Leonardo was excellent.

The Departed
Martin and Leo work together as a superb team. Anything they do is gold. It should have won best picture.

Being both a big fan of Marty and Leo I'm gonna have to go with
"Gangs of New York". This was a coming of age film as an actor
for DiCaprio………his first genuine young man role. He held his own
against a who's who of actors. Lewis , Broadbent , Neeson , Riley
and Gleeson. Without this movie The Aviator doesn't happen.
It doesn't get more bloody or melodramatic than this…..enthralling
for every one of its 150 marvelous minutes.
the aviator was amazing
My favorite movie collaboration was "The Departed'. Leonardo DiCaprio put on a stunning and believable performance alongside Jack Nicholson. This also was another winner for Martin Scorsese with an in your face story of real life. This combination put it on track to win an oscar!!
DiCaprio has been a recognizable talent since 'What's eEating Gilbert Grape". He continues to get better and the book was amazing, so want to see the film.
Martin and Leo are the dynamic duo!! Gangs of New York had history, action, love an life lessons!!
I love the movies of Scorsese/DiCaprio, Leo was hot, hot, hot in Gangs of New York
Leo was HOT, HOT, Hot in Gangs of New York!!
I adore Leo / Martin movies. The Aviator brought back some of the old Hollywood style to the big screen!
We want more LEO!!!! The Departed was a very moving picture withgreat acting from Leo,along with his co-stars. Martin S. did a great job with this film.
I find Leo as captivating an actor as Scorsese does. No matter the film he seems to always put forth 120% and the characters are real and captivating.
The Aviator was surprisingly to me a movie that caught me. I didn't think it was something that I would like…..actually I didn't……I loved it.
The Gangs of New York is my favorite and on of my favorite Scorsese Films period. I know I am in a minority, but i feel the Departed was an over rated remake of the superior "Infernal Affair" and I hated the ending, it felt like one of those 1950 hollywood movie in which the bad guy had to get his in the end.
leonardo was great in Gangs, and it should have won best picture.
GANGS, a great movie that was underrated
my favor movie is the departed.That was awesome movie.
I ws lucky enough to see this movie yesterday and I loved it! Unlike some of my fellow movie goers I was totally unaware of the plot twist at the end. I totally belived the whole movie. I guess that says alot about how I feel about government conspiracies. I loved the old school titles and score. Great performance from Leo (of course) but also from Mark Ruffalo, “maybe while you were looking into them they were looking into you”. I even liked the small performace given by Elias Koteas. He is the best bad guy around. I just can’t find any flaws with this movie. I am sure there will be lots of Oscar nominations to go around.
Thanks for the tickets to see Shutter Island with the movie geeks! My wife and I absolutely loved it. We're going to see it again this weekend.
do well.good post,thank you for sharing it.
