Double Take - Orlando Jones & Eddie Griffith
I thought this was rather hilarious, at every other twisted messed up situational adventure these 2 have, the Snark is intense....{I'm not biased, but, the pooch made it funnier}

Blood & Chocolate - I enjoy this type of Plot, where the persons Loyalty to their tight-knit tradition-bound Family is challenged especially where Love is concerned, the fact this girls "Clan" are wolves, makes it much sweeter, so to speak...they morph in a far more fantastic manner than the usual gruesome body crunching-contortion into wolf some other Films portray...I'm still keeping an eye out for the Book version {and hoping there's more}

Fallen - Denzel Washington,
Just when he thought he finally closed the book on a Death-Row psycho, he realizes the Demon has a bone to pick with him when transference fails during the possessed prisoners execution, another favorite topic for me..Demonology v.s. Angelology, where the poor bugger slowly realizes he can't trust just anyone....I looooved the twisted end.

The Lone Ranger (2013)


The Lone Ranger is not great, but reasonably entertaining. Quite funny in places but is over long.

"The Station Agent"

there is something about this movie...

Greco

I loved The Station Agent. Thanks for reminding me; think I'll rent it again or try to find it on Canadian Netflix which, unfortunately is far more limited than US Netflix.

BTW .. to those who enjoyed Wolf of WallStreet, may I recommend Margin Call (with Kevin Spacey) for a more accurate, realistic view of what really goes on.

Time Magazine tried to separate fact from fiction regarding Belfort's book upon which Wolf is based:

The Wolf of Wall Street: The True Story

We sort out what’s fact and what’s fiction in Martin Scorsese's glitzy new film about a real-life scammer

By Eliana Dockterman @edocktermanDec. 26, 2013

Drugs, prostitutes, crashed helicopters — the debauchery in The Wolf of Wall Street is so outlandish that audiences might leave the theater thinking director Martin Scorsese took plenty of creative license in telling the story of Jordan Belfort, a New York stock broker who conned his way to earning hundreds of millions in the 1990s. But Scorsese’s film closely follows Belfort’s own memoir, also titled The Wolf of Wall Street.

That said, Belfort glorifies his vulgar antics in his book, so how much of his account is truly real is up for debate. After all, Belfort was a scam artist — he made a living by lying. Scorsese, knowing this, portrays Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) as an unreliable narrator in the film (see: the changing color of the car in the first scene and the driving while high on Quaaludes episode).

TIME fact-checks the movie against Belfort’s books (he also wrote a sequel entitled Catching the Wolf of Wall Street) and a series of Forbes articles that have followed Belfort’s scheming.

Belfort’s first boss told him the keys to success were masturbation, cocaine and hookers.
Ruling: Fact

According to the book, a broker named Mark Hanna (Matthew McConaughey) gave him this advice early on in his career.

Belfort and his partner owned shares of a risky stock and had their brokers at Stratton Oakmont brokerage aggressively sell the stock to inflate the price. They then sold the stock themselves to turn a profit.
Ruling: Fact

Belfort and Danny Porush (called Donnie Azoff in the film and portrayed by Jonah Hill) utilized this age-old pump-and-dump scheme to get rich quick after graduating from scamming middle-class people into buying worthless penny stocks at a 50 percent commission.

Forbes magazine exposed Belfort, calling him a “twisted Robin Hood.”
Ruling: Fact

Though Belfort wasn’t on the cover, Forbes did run a profile of him in which they called him “a twisted version of Robin Hood, who robs from the rich and gives to himself and his merry band of brokers.” Though it was a scathing portrait, the promise of quick $100,000 commissions brought job applicants to Stratton Oakmont in droves.

Stratton Oakmont took Steve Madden public.
Ruling: Fact

Steve Madden did give a speech the day of the IPO, to which the Stratton Oakmont brokers responded with jeers. Madden, Belfort and Porush owned most of the stock and drove up the price. Belfort, Porush and Madden all went to jail for their scheme.

Danny Porush (Donnie Azoff) was married to his cousin.
Ruling: Fact

They’re now divorced.

The driving on Quaaludes scene.
Ruling: Mostly fact

It was a Mercedes, not a Lamborghini. But the rest is true to Belfort’s memoir.

The office parties included a “midget-tossing competition.”
Ruling: Fact

…According to Belfort.

The company billed prostitutes to the corporate card.
Ruling: Fact

…And wrote them off in their taxes.

He crashed a helicopter in his front yard while high.
Ruling: Fact

On a related note, he also did at least attempt to sober up in real life.

He sunk a yacht in Italy.
Ruling: Fact

And the yacht used to belong to Coco Chanel.

He called his trophy wife “duchess.”
Ruling: Fact

Though her name was Nadine, not Naomi.

He served a reduced prison sentence after ratting on his friends.
Ruling: Fact

Turns out Belfort was even more of a jerk than they show in the movie. In the film version, Belfort tries to save his partner from incriminating himself. In reality, Belfort ratted out his partner Porush, among others, for a reduced sentence (the two reportedly no longer speak). Belfort spent only two years in prison and had Tommy Chong (of Cheech and Chong) as his cellmate. Chong convinced Belfort to write a memoir.
