Wall Street:Money Never Sleeps



Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko

Shia LaBeouf as Jake Morre

Josh Brolin as Bretton James

Carey Mulligan as Winne Gekko


Wall Street:Money Never Sleeps is an intense drama about money,greed and family.
  Jake Morre is a wall street worker who is engaged to Winne Gekko;daughter of former wall street worker Gordon Gekko.  When Jake meets Gordon he askes for his help,in exchange,Gordon wantes Jake to help him get reunited with his daughter,as their relationship went sour years back.  As tension grows and greeds comes into play,the what would seem easy obstacle becomes an extreme hardship.

  This intense drama never lets up from it's very intruiging storyline.  The actors did a phenominal job as well.  The film had an extremely unexpected turn toward the end and the turn turned around again unexpeted.  Needless to say,this film was very enjoyable.

  The way that wall street displayed on screen for this film is,im sure,what it is like in real life;if not worse.  The emotion and hardship of it all displayed here is im sure so real to life;which is great to show us.  The film shows us that taking for granted what we have and lieing will get us no where;also, to never let greed get into the way of what we care about because it will always end up badly.

  Gordon shows us how a man can be redeemed from greed and that it is good to reuinte thigns that were torn apart because of greed.  He also show's us that not everyone can be trusted and people are not always what they seem.

  Wall Street:Money never sleeps is an entertaining and intruiging film that is just as much heart breaking as it is heart warming.

Stone



Robert De Niro as Jack

Edward Norton as Stone

Milla Jovovich as Lucetta

Frances Conroy as Madylyn


  Stone is a film about a convicted felon,his wife,and his parole officer.  Stone is a convicted felon who just wants out of jail,plain and clear.  As does his unfaithful wife,Lucetta.  Jack,Stones parole officer,has no means to take time off of his sentence until Stone's wife,Lucetta,changes his mind and seduces him. 

  Edward Norton has played some very great roles.  This one just adds to them.  Just as Norton's character was being introduced I smiles and told myself,"Wow,he is doing a phenominal job as his character."
 
  As far as Robert De Niro and Milla Jovoich go,they both were also fantastic.  De Niro is great no matter what role he is in.  Wether it is a deranged boxer like he was in 'Raging Bull';or as a notorious ganster like he was in 'Goodfellas',he never disapponits.

 The plot of stone was in and of itself,very intense.  This film was very entertaining and also unpredictable;  such as their decisions and just they way that the story went.

  A very intense motion picture with alot of twists and unexpected turns make 'Stone' a very enjoyable film.
