The One Where JMcG Defends Wall Street In This Weeks Vote

OK. Strolling in to court late... JMcG - with his case, defending Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.

Have a read, and then vote to the left. Simple.

Why you have to Acquit Wall Street 2 of all Charges  

Don't get me wrong, Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps (hereinafter referred to as "MNS") is NOT a 5 star film. I am not here to prove that though. I am here to prove that it is not the 1 star disaster that my learned colleague ('learned' AT, it's pronounced 'learned') would have you believe it is...

The One Where I Declare Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps GUILTY!

OK, something different for this one.

3/4 Ledgers went to see Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps on Monday. The 4th Ledger must have been busy.

JMcG and I have waited for this day. A day where we sit opposite spectrum's on the film scale.

I hated it. He loved it. So, we both put a case to the Jury.

Mine today. His over the weekend. Then you can vote. Of course, most of you will be so compelled to vote Guilty after this review, that you're more than welcome.

Is Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps Guilty... or Not Guilty? You don't have to have seen it to vote. I pray you never see it. Here's why...

The One Where The Town Is The One

"I'm Leaving This Whole Town In My Rear View"

Hmmm...

Do I just tell her how I feel? Just jump right in there? I mean, I know how I feel. I've felt like this before.

Yeah. Hard to believe. But there's been others.

Inception was love at first site.

Scott Pilgrim was perfect.

But this time... This time... This time I think it may last.

This time. I think I've found the one.

The One Where JMcG And I Tag Team The Last Exorcism

God damn you Eli Roth.

First you get to be on the panel of a wet t-shirt competition, in this.

Then, then, you stamp your mark all over this clever little thriller.

Don't hit the jump if you can't take spoilers. It's one of those that's impossible to justify my reaction too, without spoilers...

The One Where JMcG And I LOL Through Piranha 3-D

Mondays Poll is going to be 2-D versus 3-D.

This cine pass has let me see films I would never have bothered with. many of them have been 3-D.

Many of them have been 3-D that I could watch with out the glasses. That's not the same thing.

So... what did JMcG and I think of Piranha 3-D?

The One Where JMcG And I Ramble Through SALT

All the while through, I was thinking of No Way Out.

Not as a sideswipe to Salt. I just kept thinking that Spy movies aren't made like they used to be.

I have a soft spot for Spy Game, and on second viewing, I really liked Knight And Day a lot more.

My second viewing of that one, ironically directly before Salt. That was handy, as those in the know, will know Tom Cruise was originally in to do Salt, and dropped it for K&D.

So what of Salt...?

The One Were We Finally Chat Karate Kid

So, you voted, and we *did* go. Apologies for the delay. Here's a glimpse into Ledger banter, as JMcG and I discuss Karate Kid 2010. Is it the film to finally cause a divide... or do we just "like" everything...?

The One Where Flash And I Saw Toy Story 3

I know Toy Story and Toy Story back to front, word for word. The Blu Rays for Ethan may have been our smartest ever purchase for him.

JMcG and I checked it out last night. To see if it was to scary for him - as we plan to go next week. And to test the 3-D.

Here's the verdict...

The One Where We Review Inception

I'm as guilty as anyone for hyping this film up. I trust Chris Nolan, though. See Diary of a Ledger Monday, for more on that. He doesn't seem to think like others. He crafts a story, and tries to be unique in the way he tells it - fully aware there may not be any truly unique ideas left in the world.

The Ledgers went to see Inception last night. Gray will review it, so hit the link above for that. Cheese? Who knows. It may be the sort of thing that pulls him out of self imposed retirement. Below, though, as a trial, is JMcG and my opinions.

Literally cut and pasted from a FB chat. Unedited, so apologies for any naughty language. But Inception is the sort of film that makes your jaw drop, and your mind melt - all the while thinking... Holy shit. They actually did it.
