NEW YEAR'S EVE FILM MARATHON 2013
THE WOLF OF WALL STREET
Recommended. American dream as seen by a psychopath. The scene of between the phone call from the casino up to the arrest in its own right should earn Leonardo di Caprio an Oscar. True to the book by John Belfort which in turn is quite honest, according to the investigator, especially the most unbelievable bits check out, it's more than just a lively story of life and crimes of the Wolf of Wall Street. Most importantly it shows, known to me from London, drug-fuelled traders at work and play. No wonder such people have ruined the world's economy. Another tasty bit is the impersonification of his second wife (Nadine - Naomi in the film) - looking just like the original but with bigger curves.
You have to admit money helps in preserving good looks - JB being 51 looks much better than many guys around my age (a recent date from the internet just made me cringe and the guy was 44). And that's after a good few years of substance abuse.
CASSE-TETE CHINOIS
Watchable. Audrey Tautou speaking Chinese is a gem. I was curious of the lead character's issues with settling in New York but I'm not sure for what other reason one might watch it.
ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE
Walked out. Vampires for retired people.
