Friday: Wall Street



Nope, not the Wolf of Wall Street, just…Wall Street. 

Took a break from the movie theater and watched the classic Michael Douglass/Charlie Sheen film in the comfort of my own (ok, my parent’s) living room. Of course, that meant unabashed interruptions by my mom (“wait, what did he do?,” “is this based on a true story?” and my favorite “I bet Madoff watched this on loop.”

Synopsis: Newbie stockbroker Bud Fox is seduced by all that money can buy and begs to be taken on as a protégée of the great Gordon Gecko.

Review: Um duh, obvi a really fine film. Especially Hal Holbrook and all his little speeches about the evils of too much money. And when Charlie Sheen sobs after being taken away in cuffs? PRICELESS.
