emmzziToday's films were
Wolf of Wall Street
In which Leo DC plays a massive asshole stockbroker building up a monster business in the times when regulation was a lighter touch than it is today. He has has a giant drug habit, and plays games with the FBI. Nice ensemble cast piece in which everyone but the cops is very unpleasant. At 3 hours, I was glad I packed sandwiches. Not Scorsese's finest, but didn't feel overly long. 8/10. Few too many gratuitous nudes for me. By the 30th one they add nothing to the sense of debauchery and are a bit more airbrushed than we *actually* had in the 80s.
Delivery Man
In which Vince Vaughan plays an asshole trying to make good to win over a woman, what a surprise! Over active spern donation and poor clinic practices lead to him having 533 children, many of whom now want to meet him. Fun, relaxed, one of his better performances. 7/10
