Martin Scorsese falls in love with actors sometimes. For now, he seems committed to having Leonardo DiCaprio star in everything he does. This time around — their third film after The Aviator and Gangs of New York — the audience has responded, giving the director his first No. 1 movie in the U.S. since Cape Fear in 1991. Cape Fear, you'll recall, was one of Scorsese's eight collaborations with Robert DeNiro. We're talking about two of America's grea-*test*-('") living actors here; if a director has to keep casting the same two guys, he or she do a lot worse. (Imagine getting hung up on, say, Andrew McCarthy and Rob Schneider.) Then again, Marty and Bobby haven't collaborated since Casino in '95. So Leo, as you prepare to make that movie about Teddy Roosevelt with Scorsese, remember he falls out of love, too. Just ask his four ex-wives.http://www.thestar.com/
