The movie is Moneyball. Check it out.

Oh right. I knew about that and I'll watch it eventually. I didn't know he had a significant role.

Not on this site of course, but somewhere that isn't at the mercy of google.

i saw The Wolf of Wall Street a week or so ago....and pretty much agree with everything Exoskeletal....esp in regard of DiCaprio and Hill....LOVE the scene where they smoke crack

i have to say that for a 3 hour movie that is almost all nothing but drugs and sex....it went quickly and very much held my interest

when i saw it last Wednesday iw as wierd cause the theater was quite full for a 1130am showing on a week day....and seriously i was only person there that was under 60....having already known that this fill was basically a well filmed sex romp fulled by cocaine ....i was looking around at the crowd and wondering "i wonder how long it will take before someone walks out?...probably the first time they show him snorting coke out of a hookers ass"....the answer is 4 left a little less than 5 minutes into the film right after he snorted coke out a of a hookers ass.....and it just went downhill from there

The thing about Wolf of Wall Street, is that I don't feel like it needed more depth to it's story. It was basically a story that we all have seen before. The rise and fall of a very determined person and the excesses that they go through. It was similar to the rags to riches story of Scarface and all the other movies that have similar stories. I'm glad that the main focuses of the movie was on the excesses part because we have seen this numerous times before. We know he's going to rise and then eventually fall.

Yesterday I went to see Nebraska and I was so pleased to see that movie. One minor thing that bothered me about the cinematography. I get that they used black and white to showcase how bleak life is out in Nebraska but some of those cloud shots I wish I could have seen the beautiful blue hues of looking up at the sky and the white from the clouds. I wish they would have shown some color just for those scenes. I really went in expecting this movie to be more of a drama with few light moments but it was more of a heart warming comedy.

Fruitvale Station

*Spoilers ahead although they really shouldn’t be considered spoilers. I talk about what should be common knowledege of what transpired on the day of the film*

There has been a lot of debate over the film that tells the story of how Oscar Grant died on New Years Day in 2009. The events that occurred that led to the police confrontation, the events after, and the life lived by Grant before he was killed have all been discussed. To me, watching this film didn’t bring up any of those debates. The film showed the day of a human being living the last day of his life. I had known his past history and the film did a good job portraying the fact that Oscar was not a perfect person. The drugs in his system when he died and the fact that he was on parole was not expressed but that really didn’t matter to me. I don’t need to hear about the negative things about a person when the only real issue is that he was unfairly taken from this world. It’s completely unfair to judge a person who isn’t around to defend themselves. It’s ignorant to judge somebody on their past. Logic tells me that Oscar would have never turned his life around if he had not been killed, but who knows what could of happened if he had lived. I just wanted to say that those debates had nothing to do with my reaction to the film and honestly it really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things.

The film chronicles Oscar’s last day as well as some flashbacks from his past that help give the viewer an idea of what Oscar was like. A lot of people claim that the film was too sympathetic to Oscar but what I saw was character. Oscar’s character was all you needed to see to have the tragedy of what happened it you. As I watched Oscar play with his daughter and have dinner with his mother I became more and more anxious knowing what was going to happen by the end of the film. Michael B. Jordan joins a long list of amazing acting work we got to witness this year and is a sign to come that he is a talent to watch. His portrayal of Oscar was so heartbreaking considering how much life was beaming from his eyes knowing full well that it was only going to end. The connections he had with his family and friends were connections that hopefully everybody has in their lives. It’s a film about what could possibly happen during an ordinary day in our lives. It’s about making the best out of your situation even if it’s ****ty and wrong. Jordan played a man with love in his life even if his life wasn’t exactly where he wanted it to be. Past mistakes shouldn’t define a person if they still have so much time to make things better.

Octavia Spencer plays Oscar’s mother Wanda and although she’s only in the film a short time, she makes her presence known in a huge way. Her performance was heartbreaking. Ryan Coogler (this is his debut as a director by the way) portrayed Oscar and his family with such realism and emotion that it was very hard as I said to watch the film knowing what was going to happen. I wanted to scream at the screen that he shouldn’t take the train. The world that Coogler painted was incredibly warm and loving even though it was set in a place of poverty and misfortune. I hope to see more of his work in the future.

Overall I was pretty floored by the film and had a very big emotion response to it which has only happened a few times this year. I didn’t see it as a racial statement even though it has every right to be one. I saw it as glimpse into an imperfect person who was taken from this world before he had a chance to turn his life around, but even so, he still touched and gave love to a lot of people. It’s a sad powerful film that should be seen.

5/5

I think it's deserving of one, but that could just be my own opinion. I thought it was hilarious and not too disgusting like the other Jackass movies.
