Hugo is successful on so many levels, it's hard to know where to begin. It is a true triumph for Martin Scorsese -- his first PG rated film since The Age of Innocence (1993)! It is no wonder that the film garnered the most 2011 Academy Award nominations (11), and won 5 of those awards (Cinematography, Art Direction, Visual Effects, Sound Editing, and Sound Mixing).
The Way is one of the best films to come out of Hollywood in a long time! Emilio Estevez wrote, directed, produced, and also appeared in this powerful gem. Martin Sheen turns in a strong and moving performance as the father who travels to France to claim the body of his son (Estevez) -- who died while on pilgrimage on El Camino de Santiago (aka The Way of Saint James) -- and then decides to make the journey himself.
