This weekend at the movies

You don't easily forget Michael Douglas as the consummate, charismatic and greedy Gordon Gekko from his Oscar winning performance in Wall Street. In that film, Charlie Sheen's hot shot broker character studied under the wing of Gekko how to succeed without a conscience in the finance world. Over 20 years later, in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, Gekko's released from prison and it seems prison has been good to him. A young hot shot trader (Shia LaBeouf), who is married to Gekko's daughter (Carey Mulligan), sides with him to warn of the coming global economic collapse indicating a change of allegiance from consumed by money to actually caring. That might take the edge out of the Gekko we've seen in Wall Street, although money never sleeps.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

Wall Street 2 Poster
Release Date: September 24, 2010
Studio: 20th Century Fox
Director: Oliver Stone
Screenwriter: Oliver Stone, Allan Loeb
Starring: Michael Douglas, Shia LaBeouf, Josh Brolin, Frank Langella, Carey Mulligan, Susan Sarandon, Vanessa Ferlito, Charlie Sheen
Genre: Drama
MPAA Rating: PG-13 (for brief strong language and thematic elements)
Official Website: WallStreetMoneyNeverSleeps.com

Shia LaBeouf stars with Michael Douglas, who'll reprise his Gordon Gekko role. Langella will play Lewis Zabel, an old-time broker who mentors LaBeouf's character, a young Wall Street broker.
When Gekko comes out of prison, he essentially has to redefine himself, redefine his character, he's looking for that second chance.
LaBeouf portrays Jake Moore, who is the fiancé of Gekko's daughter, played by Carey Mulligan; Josh Brolin as the head of an investment bank; and Susan Sarandon as Jake's mother. Charlie Sheen, who played the central role of Bud Fox, a young trader, in the original, will make a cameo in the sequel.

EN 5 Second Review: Douglas is the movie. For nostalgia's sake it is a good movie. It falls down a bit when LaBouf is onscreen as comparisons to Douglas don't work for him. Overall a fun movie thanks to the performances of Douglas and Brolin.

NFL Computerized Game Predictor Week 3

Week 1 was insane week 2 just got crazier with the quarterback shuffles that have followed (about one-fourth of teams have a different quarterback under center than they did two weeks ago). Does Ryan Fitzpatrick even have a reputation? What rumors have you heard about Bruce Gradkowski? That’s why we have to rely on the computer rather than trying to figure this out ourselves. It’s impossible at this point to keep up with who is the starting quarterback, much less who is going to cover. Oh well, week three is here and its time to get the NFL computerized predictor moving on up after last weeks 10-6 ATS record at 1/2 play we are sitting at +150.00 for the year… [Read More...]

Deal of the Day: The Wizard of Oz (70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray] $36.99

Buy The Wizard of Oz (70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray] for just $36.99

In this charming film based on the popular L.Frank Baum novel, Dorothy and her dog Toto are caught in a tornado's path and somehow end up in the land of Oz. Here she encounters some memorable friends and foes in her journey to meet the Wizard of Oz who everyone says can help her return home and possibly grant her new friends their goals of a brain, heart and courage.

Review:

When it was released during Hollywood's golden year of 1939, The Wizard of Oz didn't start out as the perennial classic it has since become. The film did respectable business, but it wasn't until its debut on television that this family favorite saw its popularity soar. And while Oz's TV broadcasts are now controlled by media mogul Ted Turner (who owns the rights), the advent of home video has made this lively musical a mainstay in the staple diet of great American films. Young Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland), her dog, Toto, and her three companions on the yellow brick road to Oz--the Tin Man (Jack Haley), the Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr), and the Scarecrow (Ray Bolger)--have become pop-culture icons and central figures in the legacy of fantasy for children. As the Wicked Witch who covets Dorothy's enchanted ruby slippers, Margaret Hamilton has had the singular honor of scaring the wits out of children for more than six decades. The film's still as fresh, frightening, and funny as it was when first released. It may take some liberal detours from the original story by L. Frank Baum, but it's loyal to the Baum legacy while charting its own course as a spectacular film. Shot in glorious Technicolor, befitting its dynamic production design (Munchkinland alone is a psychedelic explosion of color and decor), The Wizard of Oz may not appeal to every taste as the years go by, but it's required viewing for kids of all ages
