Is anyone else tired of Scorsese putting DiCaprio in ALL his movies? He used to have De Niro as his leading man. Quite a step down, IMO.

At least with DeNiro, you got a new character with most every movie. DiCapprio tends to portray slight variations of the same character. Either the director likes his lead actors Italian, or he is waiting for another Titanic sweep at the box office.

I've got to laugh. De Niro is a one dimensional over rated actor. Plays the same character in every movie.

Good point, but I have to say I rather liked "The Departed," though I'm not too crazy about either Dicaprio nor Matt Damon as human beings.

All in all, I've got to say that Scorsese may be the best director of "mob" films, but still, my favorite movie of his is "The Last Waltz," the farewell concert of "The Band." Not that I really care for his interviews, I just really LOVE "The Band."
