ED MORRISSEY REVIEWS The Aviator. I haven’t seen it, but lots of people seem to like it, despite agreeing that it has flaws.

UPDATE: Reader Doug Levene emails:

What struck me about the Aviator is that it’s the first Hollywood movie I’ve seen in quite a while that portrayed a business man – a filthy rich, ruthless entrepreneur yet – as the hero, and the crusading, anti-war-profiteering, corruption-exposing Senator (who’s painted as kind of a cross between Elliot Spitzer and Cong. Dingell) as the villain. Am I the only one to have noticed this peculiarity?

I haven’t seen the movie. But here’s an econoblogger’s take on who the real heroes of the movie are.
