New Images From Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps
January 28, 2010
“In my father’s world, making a million was a ton,” Oliver Stone explains to USA Today in a new article on the film. “I come back to Wall Street now, and it’s not a million dollars. It’s a billion dollars. And a billion is nothing. They don’t even consider that the beginning of a hedge fund. That is what is amazing about the ’90s and 2000s — how rich people got.” Stone, who originally passed on the script for Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps, did eventually return for the sequel. “I guess the crash, which happened in the meantime, made it more interesting,” Stone says about its relevance to today.

Movie Review: Extraordinary Measures
January 25, 2010
Extraordinary Measures,” a movie about a medical breakthrough, is not especially eager to break new ground of its own. Directed with care and competence by Tom Vaughan (“What Happens in Vegas”), the film hews closely to familiar themes and patterns. One strand is a drama about a family in crisis, with parents facing the illness and possible death of two of their children, who suffer from a fatal genetic disorder. Read more
