ANT-MAN movie review

Even the tiniest can be very dangerous. Paul Rudd's Ant-Man defies the odds with great strength in a minute size with this latest and so far the coolest Marvel movie.

The red and black costume has that old "feel" as this was supposedly used by Hank Pym in the previous wars. They may not have directly made him side by side with the Avengers during wars, at least they give some associations and mentions with Tony Stark.

With Ant-Man, there are also funny phrases delivered. Scott Lang's (Paul Rudd) wingman named Luis (Michael Pena) even did not let himself go in the low light. Two scenes with him are flawlessly dubbed. I also like how it was edited.

The ant sequences and actions, at least there is no icky feeling with the crawling army. You will in fact love their skills and cooperation. A remarkable National Geographic scene for you to analyze too.

Of course, as a Marvel fan, the show experience isnt complete if don't watch it til the end. Wait for the 2 scenes mid and after the end credits. I'm already excited if Ant-Man gets into the Civil War.

SHIA LABEOUF learns how to make money

Jake Moore (Shia LaBeouf) may be worth millions at a ludicrously young age but he is also keen to do some good in the world by investing in green energy amid a fascinating world intoxicated by the sheer thrill of as much money as possible.

In Oliver Stone’s “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps,” LaBeouf’s Jake is a honest trader who gets embroiled in ominous financial dealings that is bound to spin dangerously out of control. With Michael Douglas’ Award-wining role Gordon Gekko out of prison and Josh Brolin’s Breton James, “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” multiplies greed and avarice where there is no such thing as ‘enough.’

“Wall Street 2” steers Jake Moore (LaBeouf), a smart young proprietary trader into making millions at the venerable Keller Zabel Investments, run by Louis Zabel (Frank Langella), Jake’s mentor. Jake’s girlfriend, Winnie (Carey Mulligan), meanwhile, is supportive of his drive – fueled by an idealism she finds lacking in her father Gordon – to invest in green energy. A wave of rumors that Keller Zabel is stuck with billions in toxic debt causes the company’s stock price to suddenly nose-dive, and Louis Zabel is forced to fight for his company’s life. When the government refuses a bail-out, Bretton James (Josh Brolin), a ruthless billionaire and master manipulator, arranges a takeover of Keller Zabel for a fraction of its worth. This move then propels Jake to avenge his losses by finally forging an unlikely alliance with Gordon.

To play the role of Jake, Oliver Stone cast Shia LaBeouf, star of the hugely successful “Transformers” films, as well as the recent “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” and the thriller “Disturbia.” “He reminds me of a young Tom Cruise [with whom Stone worked on “i”],” says Stone of LaBeouf -- “The same drive, work ethic, and energy.”

LaBeouf was drawn to the role of Jake for several reasons, including his admiration for Stone’s body of work. “I love ‘Wall Street’ – I’m here because of it,” says the actor. “As a movie fan, you learn a lot watching Oliver’s movies. You get a lot of facts as well as entertainment.”

In addition, starring in an Oliver Stone film was a change of pace for the young actor. “I’ve been making fantasy films for a while,” he explains. “I wanted something with teeth, and Oliver Stone makes movies with teeth.”

LaBeouf describes Jake as someone who comes from a modest background, and whose tenure as a caddie for Louis Zabel, the head of the esteemed investment bank Keller Zabel, would lead to much bigger things. “Jake is a guy who came from nothing, in Long Island, with a father who’s non-existent,” the actor explains. “Jake was hired right out of business school and put into Keller Zabel as a proprietary trader, and starts trading his own account. He works his way up the ladder and becomes Zabel’s right-hand man at a young age.”

“When I took the movie I knew little of the world of finance – I didn’t know what a derivative was, I didn’t know stocks, bonds,” he continues. “Oliver said, ‘If you want to do this you’d better get cracking [and do your homework],’ and I walked into a brokerage house office and asked them to set me up an account.”

LaBeouf then dove into his research with zeal. After what amounted to an intensive course in finance at various investment and trading houses, LaBeouf made a modest investment grow exponentially. He also passed his Series 7 test, becoming a licensed broker-dealer.

“It is amazing. I come from poverty. My mother laughs about it all the time. She went on welfare; we had no money and now I’m trading upwards of $300,000 in the morning. It’s outrageous. It’s really outrageous. My Mom’s happy as a clam,” LaBeouf concludes on the current state of his career.

“Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” opens September 29/span> in theaters from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.

the influence of GORDON GEKKO

Michael Douglas is back in his Oscar®-winning role as Gordon Gekko whose iconic “Greed is good” mantra and daring corporate raids made him a rock star of financial titans. No longer the king of Wall Street, Gekko emerges from Federal prison after serving eight years. While away, his wife has divorced him, his son has died, and his one remaining family member, his daughter Winnie (Carey Mulligan), won’t speak to him.

Resolute to win back the love of his daughter and determined to reestablish his position as Wall Street’s most powerful broker – Gekko joins forces with Jake Moore (Shia LaBeouf) who is engaged to Winnie. Jake personifies the brilliant technologically savvy individuals who by 2008 were making millions before they turned thirty. Gekko uses Jake to gain access to Winnie – and Jake seeks Gekko’s advice in gaining the upper hand over Bretton James, a ruthless investment banker whom Jake holds responsible for his mentor and firm’s destruction.

Gekko’s imprisonment taught him many lessons, says Douglas. “He’s had a lot of time to think. He can see much more clearly. He’s bearish on what’s been transpiring in the world of finance. Gekko is able to look at the problems objectively and he can see how screwed we are.”

When Gekko is released from prison, he is determined to reestablish his position as a Wall Street’s most powerful broker. But he’s looking for more than re-accumulating vast sums of money; “Gekko wants to be acknowledged,” Douglas explains. “It’s one of the reasons he’s written a book.”

“The (first) film’s popularity grew over the years,” adds director Oliver Stone, who was initially surprised by the way audiences embraced Gekko. “I made ‘Wall Street’ as a morality tale, and I think it was misunderstood by many. It’s still amazing the number of people who came up to me over the years and said, ‘I took on a career on Wall Street because of your movie.’ Many of them are now in their 30s, 40s and were doing quite well on the Street -- as honest traders, I should add.”

“What shocked me was this exponentially-growing accumulation of wealth kept going, into the 1990s and 2000s,” says Stone. “The numbers grew and grew, so the millions of dollars became billions of dollars. And the greed of Gordon Gekko was swamped by the greed of the banks.

“By 2008, no more Gordon Gekkos were possible,” he continues. “That character, was now gone, replaced by institutions that had once formerly been regulated. In the past, a bank was a bank, and an insurance company was an insurance company. In 2008, that all changed. The firewalls between these functions were destroyed by the deregulation of the 1980s and 90s. The crash happened in 2008 and that made it suddenly very interesting, because you saw all the flaws in the system,” explains Stone. “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” is really a reckoning with what happened.”

”Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps” will open September 29 in theaters from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.

the women from WALL STREET

Esquire – In the original Wall Street, the part of Darien Taylor, Bud Fox’s (Charlie Sheen) girlfriend and Gekko’s ex “was not well developed.” Michael Douglas who plays Gekko (“Wall Street 1 and 2”) would later say that Daryl Hannah’s casting caused problems. Hannah wasn’t happy playing the materialistic social climber, and director Oliver Stone’s tough approach to her performance upset her. While Douglas bagged an Oscar for his performance, Hannah won a Razzie for worst Supporting Actress.

In the new movie, “Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps” which opens worldwide this September, Oscar-nominated Cary Mulligan plays Winnie, Gordon Gekko’s estranged daughter and girlfriend of Shia LaBeouf’s Jake Moore.
