Big Short



A training movie for a business school staffed by A-list actors (R. Gosling, S. Carell, C. Bale, M. Tomei) and celebs. Why? There is no human story. Also, the Wall Streeters are shown as social misfits, Xanax and Zoloft babies, etc. If you are on a Wall Street, you are fitting in very well, thank you.

Sisters.




The movie is late about 20 years. In 2015, divorced medical nurse (Amy Poehler) is not a middle class living in a nice suburbia of Atlanta.  A real estate agent (Maya Rudolf) is an office drone, not an accomplished career woman with a Mercedes. Hollywood (see my reviews of Yellow and Gone Girl) still has a strange idea of the lives of ordinary Americans.
