	John Moser, The Intellectual Odyssey of John T. Flynn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Flynn’s dissent from the unbridled optimism of the late 1920s—and his seeming prediction of the Stock Market Crash of October 1929—brought him to the attention of the editors of the New Republic, which was at the time in the vanguard of the American noncommunist Left.
		And although Flynn was extremely sensitive to the need to keep pro-fascist and anti-Semitic elements out of his chapter, the enemies of America First engaged in on ongoing campaign to connect its membership with extremist groups such as the German-American Bund and the National Union for Social Justice.
		Nevertheless, by the end of the war John Flynn had revived his career as a journalist and public intellectual; by this time, however, his primary audience was on the Right.

	The Popkorn Junkie :: The Aviator
		But, with "The Aviator", Scorsese has proven, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that he is one of the greatest directors in American cinematic history.
		With "The Aviator", he has eclipsed all of his previous accomplishments by leaps and bounds, and has created the best film of 2004, and one of the best films ever made.
		John C. Reilly stars as Noah Dietrich, Howard's financial advisor and the one guy who puts the numbers before the dreams.

	John Flynn (minister) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flynn moved to Sunshine, now an outer western suburb of Melbourne as a child, where he completed secondary school in 1898, and began working as a schoolteacher.
		Throughout his training, Flynn had worked in various then-remote areas through Victoria and South Australia, and his first posting after ordination was to the Smith of Dunesk Mission at Beltana, a tiny settlement 500 kilometres north of Adelaide.
		Flynn married the secretary of the AIM, Jean Baird, in 1931 at the relatively advanced age of 51.

	THE AVIATOR
		Hughes was not only filthy rich, but he was a brave experimental pilot (he broke many modern aviation records of the time), an ingenious inventor, a shrewd and cunning businessman, a Hollywood film producer and director, the owner of several airlines, and the creator of several distinct airplanes.
		THE AVIATOR is such a complete and comprehensive epic, even if it does not focus totally on Hughes’ entire life.
		In THE AVIATOR Scorsese’s abilities to marry big scale visual effects (and I mean George Lucas and Peter Jackson scale) with practical ones is a revelation.

		The Aviator is an Academy Award-winning 2004 biographical drama film, directed by Martin Scorsese.
		The movie is a biopic of the aviation pioneer Howard Hughes.

	Emanuel Levy : Review - Aviator, The
		The Aviator, the extremely entertaining biopicture of the young Howard Hughes, is Martin Scorsese's response to the long-held criticism that he's not a storyteller and thus can't make a commercial movie for the mass public.
		Aviator is a much warmer film than, say, King of Comedy or Kundun, lacking the detached coldness that has characterized many of Scorsese's better films.
		Aviator is classically structured as the rise-and-fall tale of Howard Hughes as an American icon.

	Martin Scorsese's The Aviator
		An original screenplay by John Logan, "The Aviator" tells the story of aviation pioneer Howard Hughes (DiCaprio), the eccentric billionaire industrialist and Hollywood film mogul, famous for romancing some of the world's most beautiful women.
		The drama recounts the years of his life from the late 1920s though the 1940s, an epoch when Hughes was directing and producing Hollywood movies and test flying innovative aircraft he designed and created.

	Latino Review
		Martin Scorsese's “The Aviator” soars above and beyond as a bio-pic and a fascinating character study of an enigmatic and legendary individual.
		Despite their realism Scorsese is smart enough to use Shore's score as well as Bach's “Toccata and Fugue in D Minor”, one of the most brilliant uses of a classical piece I've heard in a film this year.
		“The Aviator” is not without a few problems, the running time of the film is close to three hours and it takes a while for the story finds its groove; things don't start to get interesting into we're well into the first act.

	aviator
		Here Scorsese tells with affection for the golden age of Hollywood the adventurous story of the daring eccentric, playboy, billionaire, industrialist, aviator, filmmaker Howard Hughes (receiving directing credits for the 1930 "Hell's Angels" and the 1943 "The Outlaw").
		It never becomes more than a cursory three-hour look at Hughes as a neurotic womanizer, capitalist risk-taker, visionary, and as someone obsessed primarily with planes (the reason the film is called The Aviator) after fiddling around with movies.
		The Aviator opens with Hughes as a child standing naked as he comes out of a tub while dried with a towel by his mom.

	The Aviator
		Like all of Scorsese’s films, “The Aviator” is burnished to a deep glow: every aspect of the film is thoroughly realized—the photography, the sets, the music track (rich in period songs).
		Screenwriter John Logan is a bit facile here, reducing the obsessive-compulsive disorder of Hughes’ later years to an unconscious desire to please his mom.
		When Flynn eats one of the peas, Hughes is sickened and cannot continue eating, but is too polite—and too shy, oddly enough—to say anything.

	The Aviator (2004): Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett, John C. Reilly, Alec Baldwin - PopMatters Film Review
		A young soldier who happens to be in the area rushes to pull Hughes from the conflagration, and so, the genius adventurer miraculously survives, though he suffers burns over 70% of his body, multiple broken bones, punctured organs, and a gruesomely smashed face.
		At the same time, and rather contradictorily, The Aviator is also a tale of familial dysfunction, making Howard into a victim of his strange mother, who instills in him a distrust of the world that only seems confirmed by his misfortunes -- the plane wreck, for example (in historical fact, he endured more accidents).
		That The Aviator mostly lets Hughes -- and more importantly, the nation that makes him -- off the latter hook by positing him as a warrior against administrative corruptions (see the congressional hearing where he makes the bad senator quake) is a disappointment.

	DVD REVIEW: "THE AVIATOR"
		While the collective whole might not be grand (although it grows on you hours and days after seeing it), many of the individual moments clearly are, whether they're some spectacular plane crash sequences (and I do mean spectacular), a fiery Senate hearing or the eventual, if only brief liftoff of the famed Spruce Goose.
		The veteran filmmaker -- who works from an original screenplay by John Logan ("The Last Samurai," "Gladiator") -- certainly knows his way around a camera, and the professional-looking result is always up there on the screen.

	Mediajonez.com: FILM: Movie Review - The Aviator (2004) Leonardo DiCaprio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Aviator captures a portion of Hughes' life beginning with the lengthy production of his first film, Hell's Angels and ending shortly after the Senate hearing sparked by the construction of his megaplane, the Hercules (otherwise nicknamed the Spruce Goose).
		After all, as the title suggests, this film is about Hughes the aviator, a man who at one time held many records for his flying, all due to his revolutionary approach to design and his unrelenting want to push the envelope in general.
		The Aviator is layered in a way that most period pieces can't even hope to reach, which could be said of many of Scorsese's better pictures.

	The Seattle Times: Movies: Hughes' life takes flight in soaring "Aviator"
		And much of that sense comes from Leonardo DiCaprio's performance as Hughes, tamping down his usual boyishness (it's not the actor's fault that, at 30, he still has the face of a choirboy) with a blunt, gruff charm and a maturity that takes on a haunted quality as the film progresses.
		She immediately becomes putty in his hands, and so does nearly everybody else he crosses paths with: Hughes, rich with the confidence that money brings, here has a life force as big as a Cinerama screen, and DiCaprio rises to the challenge.
		Beginning in the mid-1920s (after a brief, odd prologue in which Hughes' mother gives her young son a rather intense bath) and continuing through the mid-'40s, "The Aviator" is less a full biography than a depiction of a man's glory years.

		Or the superficial, glitzy, and bloated The Aviator.
		Except, of course, that Levinson is not the man responsible for the mega-production starring Leonardo DiCaprio as the eccentric, womanizing billionaire Howard Hughes.
		Hughes is both boyish and filthy rich, and a dashing aviator to boot.

	AboutFilm.com - The Aviator (2004)
		Scorsese and screenwriter John Logan (Gladiator, The Last Samurai) chronicle these events, but a key difference between The Aviator and other biopics is that they don't show important events just for the sake of historically documenting the facts of Hughes' life.
		If that means The Aviator takes a few liberties with chronology and peripheral characters—well, there's a plethora of more factually accurate biopics out there that miserably fail to penetrate to the essence of the protagonist (see, e.g., Ray).
		More impressive are John C. Reilly as the stolid, reliable Noah Dietrich, who keeps Hughes' ducks in a row; Alec Baldwin as Hughes' nemesis Juan Trippe, the head of Pan-Am Airlines; and Alan Alda as Trippe's very own bought-and-paid-for U.S. Senator, the wormy Owen Brewster.

	Donner's Movie Reviews: The Aviator
		True, according to this movie, he was a pioneer in aviation, he was romancing the prettiest young starlets in Hollywood, and he overcame any obstacle that got in his way...
		The Aviator focuses on Hughes early years in the 30's and 40's and doesn't even touch upon his last couple of decades when he went from a little crazy to a whole lot of crazy.
		The Aviator is probably going to become a late addition to my top ten list of 2004.

		The Aviator ends in 1946, when Hughes was still a dashing young man and romancing actresses like Ava Gardner and Katharine Hepburn.
		Historical perspective is provided by spotlights on Hughes's role in aviation and his obsessive-compulsive disorder, and a 43-minute Hughes documentary from the History Channel (part of the Modern Marvels series, it focuses on his mechanical innovations and spends less than a minute on his movies).
		The movie focuses on his love of aviation, his incredible vision, his passion for building and flying aircraft, and the beautiful women whom he allowed to get close to him.

	The Aviator
		One of the problems with The Aviator, Martin Scorsese’s distressingly unconvincing biopic of multi-millionare wack job Howard Hughes, is that the reliably maverick filmmaker finally seems to have made his peace with the Hollywood machine.
		So the first hour or so of The Aviator, with its lavish recreation of old Hollywood’s high glamour and weirdness, comes out as a wash for me, since I couldn’t believe in the relationship at its core.
		The obvious point of reference here is Citizen Kane; of course that’s an unfair comparison, but since one of screenwriter John Logan’s first credits was RKO 281, a fictionalized retelling of the making of Kane, I’m guessing it was on his mind as he wrote this one.

		Flynn is calling for the council to release copies of the negotiated host-community agreement before it is ratified, and asking that council members pledge never to work for Harrah's or receive anything of value from the Las Vegas company or its subsidiaries.
		Flynn said he will publicly present his proposals at the regularly scheduled council meeting, following the closed-door deliberations on negotiating strategies.
		In West Warwick, Flynn is seeking to eliminate any appearance of secrecy and quash any speculation that town officials have personal financial interests in the outcome of the high-stakes negotiations.

	Weekend: 'Aviator' is a bumpy flight
		True, the film focuses on Hughes' early successes and failures in aviation and movies; we never see anything about his Las Vegas and military industrial complex connections and only a flash of him as the world's most famous, and grubbiest, recluse.
		It's the flesh and blood aspects of The Aviator that don't soar.
		Then there's screenwriter John Logan's clumsy handling of Hughes' germ phobia, all nervous tics and panic attacks in restrooms.

	calendarlive.com: MOVIE REVIEW - 'The Aviator' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		This is very much a traditional wide-screen epic of the old school, the kind of meticulously executed extravaganza, complete with an all-star cast, that the director (whose knowledge of film history is exceptional) has admired for years.
		But in "Aviator" he's put all his technique, energy and style at the service of a story we can't look away from, at least initially.
		Though he also dallied with Ava Gardner (an effective Kate Beckinsale), Hughes' most sustained passion was always aviation, and "The Aviator" lives up to its name by spending considerable time on the ins and outs of Hughes' spectacular flying career.

	Joey the Film Geek: Reviews - "The Aviator"
		He's written some stuff I like (he wrote the great HBO TV-Movie, "RKO 281" and he helped write "Any Given Sunday"), but he's also written some stuff I thought was overrated, or I didn't like at all (he wrote "The Time Machine" and he helped write "Gladiator," and "Star Trek: Nemesis").
		But after seeing "The Aviator," I now have a whole lotta respect for her as a woman, as well.
		Well, if the real Errol Flynn was anything like the person depicted in the film, he was a real asshole.

		Industrialist billionaire, aviation pioneer and daredevil, film producer, Hollywood playboy, and yes, that reclusive mysophobe who wore the Kleenex boxes on his feet.
		The Aviator features an amazingly large all-star cast, including Kate Beckinsale (Van Helsing) in a small role as Ava Gardner and cameos by Jude Law (Closer) as Errol Flynn, pop star Gwen Stefani as Jean Harlow, singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright as a club singer, and his folk legend father Loudon Wainwright III as another.
		The Aviator is probably Scorsese's most accessible movie yet, a true Hollywood biography of impressive scale, combining old-time filmmaking with the director's usually brisk and clipped style.

	The Aviator - The Palm Beach Post \| ajc.com
		Among the many choice sequences in The Aviator are Hughes' money-be-damned enthusiasm for filming the World War I dogfight epic Hell's Angels, and his days as an unkempt, drug-dependent, germ-phobic hermit.
		Late in The Aviator, when Hughes is locked in contentious congressional hearings with Sen. Ralph Brewster (Alan Alda), DiCaprio seems to be a boy sent to do a man's job, with the time frame and ages deliberately fuzzed.
		Alda's Brewster is a wily, cordial pit bull; Alec Baldwin is effective as a shadowy aviation rival heading Pan Am to Hughes' TWA; John C. Reilly leaves a favorable impression as a Hughes underling; and even Jude Law drops by to play Errol Flynn, last of his six performances released in four months.
