Green Guys (2011)
Great Ponzi Scheme Film
This film was much better than expected. I watched this because I'm a stock broker and love movies like Wall Street but honestly I wasn't expecting much because I haven't seen any marketing for this film. However, I ended up really enjoying it and highly recommend it.
The actors brought the broker world to life and the dialog was spot on with a lot of the logistics. The writing was tight and skillfully written, although there were a lot of f words.
The shots were always interesting, which reminded me of early Scorsese or Francis Ford Coppola.
It's a film you should check out if you're interested in finance.
The Ides of March (2011)
Clooney Stays Consistent
Clooney had a fantastic debut with Good Night, Good Luck, then fell off a bit with Leatherheads, and is now back to form with this gripping thriller about political ethics and morals.
Ryan Gosling is magnetic in the lead role, and as always, delivers a charming portrayal of a man trying to do right in a volatile atmosphere.
One person mainly left out in reviews has been Phillip Seymour Hoffman who is once again powerful and real. He is easily one of the greatest actors working today and is always fun to watch.
The cinematography was exceptional in this film and George seems to always pick the top people in the business to work on his films. It pays off, because The Ides of March is a pleasure to watch and a thrill of a ride to take.
