Movie description
Martin Scorsese's THE AVIATOR is a lavish spectacle of a motion picture that harks back to Hollywood's Golden Era in telling the story of Howard Hughes, one of 20th-century America's most pioneering and influential figures. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio as the eccentric billionaire, Scorsese's biopic concentrates on Hughes's life between the 1920s and '40s, when he made striking contributions to both the film and aviation industries. At only 25 years of age, Hughes directed the most expensive film ever made up to that point, HELL'S ANGELS (1930), which Scorsese gleefully recreates here in all its sprawling, audacious glory. At the same time, he became known as an unabashed playboy, bedding the likes of Jean Harlow (singer Gwen Stefani), Ava Gardner (Kate Beckinsale), and Katherine Hepburn (a brilliant Cate Blanchett). In the mid-'30s, he turned his attention to the aviation industry, where he quickly became world-renowned for shattering speed and distance records. He also continued to test the limits of flight technology, building bigger, faster, and stronger aircrafts. All the while, he struggled with an obsessive-compulsive disorder that sent him into a full-fledged tailspin after a near-fatal plane crash. The film concludes with Hughes being called before the Senate in 1947 to defend himself against the nefarious Senator Owen Brewster (Alan Alda), who accused Hughes of taking money from the United States government during wartime. Stunningly photographed by Robert Richardson, Scorsese's nearly three-hour drama features an impassioned performance by DiCaprio, who is also credited as an executive producer. Although she appears in less than a third of the film, Blanchett delivers a performance that cements her status as one of the finest actresses ever to appear on the big screen.

Editorial reviews
"DiCaprio convincingly conveys the hard shrewdness and the petulance of the man. It's a make-or-break performance for the film, and it pays off." Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (12/17/2004) "A magnificent DiCaprio fully captures Hughes' drive and intensity..." USA Today - Mike Clark (12/17/2004) "[T]here's a sleek, almost tactile pleasure to be had in getting swept up in the gale force of a man who smashed through limits because he didn't see them." Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (12/24/2004) "DiCaprio gives a turbocharged, ready-to-rock performance....Stunningly shot..." Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (12/30/2004) "[C]ome fly with Scorsese for a fine, forceful film that's always arresting..." Uncut - Chris Roberts (02/01/2005) "THE AVIATOR celebrates Scorsese's zest for finding excitement in a period setting….Scorsese has emerged into the full flower of his gifts." Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (12/24/2004) "[E]ngrossing, witty, elegant and inventive..." Sight and Sound - Kevin Jackson (03/01/2005) Ranked #29 in Uncut's Best Films Of 2005 -- "[A] lavish, glamorous biopic of billionaire recluse Howard Hughes that doubles as a feverish tribute to the golden age of Hollywood movie-making."

BY BIDDING ON THIS ITEM, YOU ARE AGREEING TO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING SO PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE BIDDING:

PRODUCTS

All of my dvds are used unless specified as new which means still wrapped like in the store but does not necessarily include the cardboard sleeve if it originally came with one. All dvds come in a case with the original cover art unless specified otherwise. My dvds are not copies, bootlegs, asian imports etc. They are all the real deal. A very small selection were rentals. The case and cover art are sold as-is but I will NEVER send you a broken case. When I rate the dvd as "like new, very good, good and acceptable", I am always referring to ONLY the dvd, NOT the case.

SHIPPING CHARGES

Shipping includes more than just the postage. It includes my supplies (dvds, printer paper, printer ink, labels, envelopes, boxes, etc.). It also includes daily trips to the post office, gas etc. so there is NO SHIPPING DISCOUNT FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES FOR U.S. BUYERS!!! IF YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH MY SHIPPING CHARGES OR REFUND POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS OR ANY OTHER ITEM I HAVE LISTED.

Please DO NOT send payment until everything you have bid on has ended.

PAYMENT & DELIVERY INFORMATION

I ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL !!

I make it a point to ship within 3 business days after I receive your payment, except of course weekends and holidays. Payments must be received within 7 days after your final auction win. If not received within 7 days after your final win, and other arrangements have not been made, I have the option to void the sale to cover the cost or file a dispute against you with ebay which will count as a strike against your account. If you are bidding on multiple dvds, payment is due within 7 days from the date of the LAST item you won and I realize that your bids may stretch out over several days. This is not a problem.

RETURN POLICY

I am committed to the satisfaction of my customers and try to provide the highest level of service and excellence. My used dvds are cleaned and tested if necessary for functionality prior to shipment and I guarantee that they play as if new. If upon receipt, you find that the dvd does not play properly, it is your responsibility to contact me within 48 hours of receiving it per the delivery/tracking confirmation. Otherwise, my return policy expires and I cannot accept the dvd back. It is your responsibility to ship back the dvd within 3 days after receipt, providing me with the tracking number at the time of mailing. It doesn't have to be received within 3 days, just get it in the mail within 3 days. Return shipping costs are the buyer's responsibility. Once I receive the dvd a refund will be issued immediately via PayPal for the purchase price/winning bid of the dvd only.  Purchase price does not include what you paid for shipping.

I DO NOT accept returns for the new dvds since they are brand new.

I DO accept returns for used dvds and ONLY if it does not play properly. Cover art and cases are sold as-is and I will not accept returns if you do not like the condition of the case, but I do guarantee that I will NEVER send you a broken case - and broken means that it will not have cracks or will not close. In other words, the case doesn't work. A sticker on it or writing on it or something similar DOES NOT qualify as broken and I DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS BECAUSE OF BUYER'S REMORSE.

INSURANCE

APPARENTLY EBAY IS REMOVING THE INSURANCE OPTION AS OF 9/22/09 (WEIRD) SO INSURANCE IS NO LONGER GOING TO BE AN OPTION UNLESS I AUTOMATICALLY ADD IT TO THE HANDLING FEE. SINCE MOST PEOPLE DO NOT CHOOSE TO HAVE INSURANCE, I AM NOT ADDING THAT EXTRA CHARGE TO THE COST AND I AM NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO STATE THAT IF YOU WANT IT TO LET ME KNOW. SO... THERE IS NO LONGER AN INSURANCE OPTION BUT I WILL PACKAGE AND SHIP YOUR ITEMS AS SAFELY AS I CAN !!

I will provide buyers with the tracking number when I create the shipping label. All items are shipped with delivery confirmation. Also, if you are not aware of this, you can go to View Order Details for the item you won and can find the tracking number there.

FEEDBACK

I only leave feedback first when I am the buyer. Due to the new feedback policies, many buyers are using feedback extortion to try to get an item free or for some other annoying reason. Therefore, it is because of these bad ebayers that I refuse to leave it first. I will however, leave positive feedback for you the same day it is left for me.
