Each time I post, I will try to review/commentate multiple things. Unless something is very important, I will do this.
Let's start with a movie review:
"Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" (2010) Directed by Oliver Stone
If you saw the original "Wall Street" movie, you will be all set to go to view this sequel, which takes place 23 years after the original (fun fact: both movies take place 2 years before their release year). Gordon Gekko is getting out of jail after serving his eight year jail sentence for security fraud. His daughter, Winnie, is dating Jake, a person very similar to Bud Fox from "Wall Street." They are happy, and Winnie dislikes her father. Her brother committed suicide and she blames it on him. Jake and Gordon secretly become acquaintances, and they try to get Winnie and Gordon back together. Their is a simultaneous plot about a Wall Street Firm. That was the less interesting part, and it was also more confusing.
Overall, the acting was amazing with very realistic dialogue. The direction was smooth and the plot was good. Recommended.

T.V. Review
"My Generation" Episodes 1 and 2 (2010)
This series had a very good concept, and if executed correctly, it could have been very good. Unfortunately, that is not what happened. It is about a group of teenagers who were followed for a documentary in high school, and what they are like 10 years later. Most of the characters are the exact opposite of what they were in high school. The "Over-achiever" is a surfer slacker, the "Beauty Queen" is the perfect housewife, the "Rebel" is the wife of the jock turned military man, and the "Wallflower" is the mother of the "Over-achiever"'s child. The actors are not given a lot to work with, but they make the series somewhat watchable. There are about 5 minutes in each episode I enjoy. This over-the-top dramedy is not recommended.
