I don’t think my movie going life has been influenced by anyone more than Martin Scorsese. His filmography is nothing more than amazing when you look at the work and effort put into each piece of art he makes. Every title stands alone in the museum of movie history. He has touched many themes over the years in his films providing some form of feeling to anyone who watches a Scorsese film. He is a master at what he does and is always quick to point out in his amusing modesty that it is because of past masters that he does what he does. It’s clear that his influence has reached the top of Hollywood’s “A” list including Quentin Tarantino, Spike Lee, and John Woo, the man has given us a lot to be thankful for.
With his latest, Shutter Island, hitting theaters this Friday, we’ve decided to dedicate an entire week to one of our heroes and quite frankly, one of the reasons this site is here. We will do our best to direct you towards the greatest moments of Martin Scorsese’s career. Join us for reviews of our favorite Scorsese movies, interviews and insight into the master’s life. It’s MARTIN SCORSESE WEEK!
Now go home and get your fuckin' shinebox.
