For those who have followed my blogs and follow me on twitter will be aware that when I can't sleep I always seem turn to the DVD "Fight Club".
I've watched it so many times that I am nearly at the stage where I can tell you what colour shirt the actors and extras are wearing in each scene. But the other day I was just aimlessly looking around in Sanity (for those who don't know, Sanity is a DVD and music store, some of their prices are a bit on the heavy side.) While I was in there I came across "Oliver Stone's Wall Street DVD pack", it has both the original 1987 "Wall Street" and "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" the 2010 sequel.
I rented "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" recently . It was good but being a Shia LaBeouf fan I expected more from it. It had been awhile since I had seen the original and decided to buy it. Seeing as it had been some time since seeing the original I wasn't to sure if I would still enjoy it.
I like it better than the sequel. I've always been a Charlie Sheen fan and watching reminds you of why he is a great actor, seems like we need some reminding of late seeing as he has been acting a bit crazy. But I think it is safe to say this movie has, if not nearly, replaced "Fight Club" as my go-to-movie when I can't sleep.
For those who have never seen either of these movies, I suggest you do. Especially the original, which showcases the age story of being a nobody to wanting to get, as well as being hungry for, the best out of life. I think watching this movie so many times in a short period of time may or may not be responsible for my latest infactuation with money. Don't get me wrong here, I have always loved money- after all it is why we go to work- to get paid. I'll tell you know I'm not working for the fun of it.
