Unsurprisingly, the film grinds itself to a halt when Rachel leaves to track down Samara’s natural mother (a laughable cameo by Sissy Spacek), seeking advice on ways to deal with sons possessed by bizarre Japanese video-demons. While the plot tries hard to get back on track, the last half-hour is only notable for Watts’s ultra-sassy heroine moment (“I’m not your fuckin’ mommy!”) and Nakata’s nice handling of some scenes that in less capable hands could have ended...

Most of the impressive supporting cast showcase Scorsese’s ability to craft small but memorable performances. John C. Reilly shines in his small role, as does Willem Dafoe in a brief cameo as a tabloid editor. It was great to see Alan Alda back on the big screen with a fairly meaty role as a senator who is out to get Hughes. And if nothing else, The Aviator reiterates that having Ian Holm and Alec Baldwin on screen, if only briefly, is nearly always worthwhile. Unfortunately, Cate Blanchett’s portrayal of Katharine Hepburn doesn?...
