Movie Review: "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps"

"Greed, for lack of a better word... is good." - Gordon Gekko in "Wall Street" uttered the line of the decade in 1987, when capitalism was king.

Fast forward 23 years, and is Gekko as interesting in "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" after the global financial meltdown?

For lack of a better word... yes.
















The good news is that Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko is still the most interesting person on Wall Street -- at a time when capitalism is now a serial killer on the loose.

The bad news is that it's by a wiiiiiide margin (sorry, Shia LaBeouf fans). The plot was way too simple for my taste, and the ending kinda had me scratching my head. Overall, I'd say the movie is just OKAY.

QBF Rating: 3.0/5

NSFW Monday!

Good Morning! This is the 21st, and last of my "Body-Painted Football Babes Bonanza" series. Perhaps more importantly however, the semi-finals begin tomorrow in the World Cup! So a hearty congratulations to the great teams who made it: Uruguay versus Netherlands Germany versus Spain They will play each other tomorrow and Wednesday respectively, but all signs point to Germany defeating the Netherlands in the final. Now, back to the babes! We have ladies representing the Italian Republic (the only returning champion I'd wager, to ever come dead last in the weakest group), and the Republic of Korea (South Korea -- who lost to Uruguay in the 2nd round). - QBF Spicy Meatball: Korea's Taekwan-Don't Stop!
