One of the finest filmmakers in the history of cinema,Martin Scorsese’s work in the documentary field is often unheralded among mainstream audiences. While most of his nonfiction films are in the realm of music, such as the concert documentary ofThe Band’s swan song performance inThe Last Waltzor an exploration of an inflection point in the life and career ofBob DylaninNo Direction Home, these films are as vital and personal to Scorsese as his narrative pictures....

It’s interesting to remember thatJoeandAnthony Russo, the fraternal diptych behind the wildly entertainingCaptain America: Civil WarandCaptain America: The Winter Soldier, didn’t have a whole lot of experience when they scored the Winter Soldier gig. Sure,Welcome to Collinwoodwas a passable heist comedy and their work onCommunityandArrested Developmenthas been celebrated widely, but that kind of employment history would put them more in line to remakeFletchorGhostbustersthan take on arguably the mightiest of all modern franchises....
