Wall Street (1987) review
Synopsis: A young and impatient stockbroker is willing to do anything to get to the top, including trading on illegal inside information taken through a ruthless and greedy corporate raider whom takes the youth under his wing. This has been on my 'to watch' list for a while now, and with the upcoming sequel due for release soon, I thought it'd be the perfect time to review Wall Street. WS was a film which impressed me to the point where I wanted to be a stock broker. Or a rich greedy S.O.B. No, seriously though, it was the performances in this film that drew me further into the film. The chemistry between Charlie Sheen and his father (in the film and real life) was unmatched; particularly the scene between Bud and his Father outside the elavator. the sheer aptitude both of these actors shown was just amazing. Most definitely the highlight of the film, it didn't leave my head after watching. Similarly, the dialogue had the same effect; leaving some of the most brilliant quotes I've heard in a film. It was Gekko, Michael Douglas' character who had left the biggest impression on me. His charisma, his attitude, the way Douglas delivered the lines, the sheer tenacity he showed throughout the film was what made Douglas' character work. The story was another factor which upped the overall badass-ness of the film; stockbroker looks up to rich guy, rich guy takes him under his wing, stockbroker becomes rich, rich guy destroys stockbrokers' fathers business, stockbroker destroys rich guy. Not as straightforward as that, but that's the gist of it. Sort of. Great film, not perfect though. Not everything is. 7/10 Kazed1
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010) teaser & EXCLUSIVE clips/images
Check these out, a sequel to the 1987 film Wall Street, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. It could be a huge disappointment, I'm not liking some of the elements thrown into the mix, like Gekko's Daughter, LeBouf marrying her etc. Let's hope Douglas stelas the show.

The Nightmare on Elm Street review (2010)
Synopsis: A re-imagining of the horror icon Freddy Krueger, a serial-killer who wields a glove with four blades embedded in the fingers and kills people in their dreams, resulting in their real death in reality. Ahh, where to begin. To bluntly put it, Nightmare on Elm Street was bad. It was pure cheese the whole way through. I appreciated some of the scenes in the film, notably the opener. I thought it was a great way to introduce the premise of the film, but really, from there on it went downhill. The terrible one liners were...well, terrible. A few examples included "I'll take a stab" (Wow. Such an original, well thought out line.), "Who are you?" "I'm your nightmare"(Kudos, Mr. Writer.), and "Ooh, sounds like fun. It's a little fast for me. How about we hang, first?"(...It'll become understandable when it's in it's original context.). All of these came together in such a great(!) package, I just wanted to see more. Not. Some of the effects were respectable, but nothing to write home about. The performances were adequate, nothing or, really no one that stood out, but they weren't as cringeworthy as the dialogue they spewed from their one-dimensional crevices.(Haha) The film was just okay, has nothing on the original. 4/10 Kazed0
Nightmare On Elm Street teaser
So I'll have to admit here, I haven't seen all of them, so I think I may have to get round to that that some point. This, is more of a 're-imagining'- So basically a remake. In the meantime though, for those of you who have seen it, the teaser which was released to today, via MySpaceA re-imagining of the horror icon Freddy Krueger, a serial-killer who wields a glove with four blades embedded in the fingers and kills people inside their dreams, resulting in their real death in reality.Cool.
