Rarely do I have an opportunity to describe a Scorsese flick as delightful or magical, but this is one of those times.

I need someone older and wiser telling me what to do

With Mother’s Day happening on Sunday, lots of movie blogs have been making lists of Top Ten Movie Moms. I would like to declare them all woefully inadequate because I have yet to see one that includes the best movie mom of all time: Tommy DeVito’s mom in Goodfellas.

One dog’s going one way, one dog’s going the other way, what do you want from her? Amazing.

[Bonus points: she's Martin Scorsese's actual real life mother, Catherine, too.]

Shutter Island

I’ll probably enjoy this more on repeat viewings because a) Leo, b) Marty, and c) Leo.

when I tell you to do a thing, you do a thing

If you’re a Twitter user and, like me, a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio and/or Martin Scorsese, you can submit questions to the pair using #AskLeo and #AskScorsese and Paramount will pick five questions each to answer at the Shutter Island press junket on Friday. [via The Playlist.]

I got excited for a second thinking Leo and Marty were actually on Twitter, but I guess I will have to settle for continuing to follow fake Scorsese instead. Speaking of which, I also love fake Michael Bay a whole lot.
