THE WOLF OF WALL STREET trailer has landed and it looks like it could be Scorsese’s funniest film since THE AGE OF INNOCENCE. In leiu of another masterful Daniel Day Lewis performance is a monkey in a suit and Leonardo DiCaprio. The film also stars Jonah Hill in an uncomfortably sweaty turn and Matthew McConaughey whistling Dixie in addition to doing a rarely seen Bobbie McFarrin impression.
Scorsese is obviously one of the best directors we have ever seen so anytime he steps behind the camera he has our eyeballs in the theater. This looks like a darkly comedic journey through greed, excess, and dwarf tossing. Have a look, and if you want to get behind this film even more you can buy the source novel here.
LOCKED AND LOADED,
MR. SIX

The last few Scorsese pics left me a little disappointed. I had begun to think Marty had become a ‘gun for hire’ and that his brilliance may have been spent (his earlier works were some of the best movies ever made). I attended a screening of The Wolf of Wall Street this evening, and was expecting to be unimpressed. I am happy to say I was completely blown away. This pic is Marty at his best. I laughed, I cringed, I related (with fond memories as well as a bit of guilt) and I TOTALLY believed every unbelievable moment. A good book, a great screenplay and a delightful cast were formed and molded into what I believe should get Scorsese a best director Oscar, and likely a Best Picture Award for the movie. Leo DiCaprio has grown into a versatile actor and his creation of this super hero dirtbag’s roller coaster ride in this crazy (true) story is really honest and delightfully entertaining. Jonah Hill pulled out all the stops too and this is definitely his best work. Thank you Mr. Scorsese for delivering the goods so brilliantly!
