Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

Thanks Lindy. You get to see the movies we have no intention of ever seeing. Ever.

I agree with @1.

You watch it so we don't have to suffer.

Really? Dominoes? That's even more terrible than I imagined, and I thought I was imagining the worst.

Money Never Sleeps sounds more like the title of the next 50 Cent album.

Bummer. I liked the original Wall Street. I was hoping this would be good, or at least decent.

Lindy, do you actually like any movies? I find your takedowns of bad movies entertaining, but I sometimes wonder if you trash everything.

Thank you, Lindy.

Subtlety and Oliver Stone are not acquainted, but if he's resorting to such literal visuals as falling dominoes, it's high time someone took his Oscar away.

@5, I feel like I saw a movie review of a movie Lindy liked. I mean, she still snarked and pointed out the movie's flaws, but I thought in the end she liked it. I'll have to go through the archives to remember which movie, though.

I know she loved the Cheap Trick Live at Budakon movie.
10
@5, Here, I think she liked Knight and Day
11
She also liked Get him to the Greek, Babies and The Eclipse.

There. Now that's enough Lindy stalking for one day.

It's not Lindy's fault that they keep forcing her to watch terrible movies. After reading financial blogger Bess Levin's scathing take-down of this film, I suspect that Lindy actually went easy on this one.

My partner is chomping at the bit to see this movie. He loved the first Wall Street, so he's anxious to see the sequel.

And, like Lindy, I too will be forced to sit through this movie (frankly, I just have no interest in movies that glamorize greed and screwing over the common dude for millions and millions so someone can buy that luxury apartment worth 5 million in NYC and eat fish eggs by candle light with a Daryl Hannah clone). Then again, maybe it's the foul taste in my mouth from the first Wall Street that has caused my preconceived notions regarding the sequel.

Regardless, thanks for the heads-up, Lindy. I might use the opportunity to catch up on my sleep, while sitting in the movie theater.

Wait, why are so many people surprised this movie is awful? It has Shia LaBeouf in a starring role, doesn't it? What more do you need to know? Anything he's ever starred in has been garbage, so why would you assume this to be any different?

I thought people have been telling O Stone to shut up for years (or were they just laughing at him?). At least JFK was well-filmed tripe.

This is the first time I've found out Shia LaBeouf is a man. I always thought it was a female name. In any case, I wasn't planning to go to this movie anyway (though I really liked the first one).
Thank you Lindy for your always totally funny and right on reviews.

@5: Apparently, she likes that owl movie.

"The story arc isn't an arc so much as it is a gloppy smear of oatmeal on a dirty countertop."

Lindy West, you wrote this whole review while eating breakfast, didn't you. I'm on to you.

Please wait...
