The Playlist:
While there are probably not enough movies to call it a trend just yet, recent American cinema has portrayed real life fraud, duplicity and malfeasance with a certain pop culture pizazz. Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf Of Wall Street” was practically celebratory of Jordan Belfort’s well-heeled, hedonistic, and wholly illegal romp through the financial world. Then there’s Adam McKay’s “The Big Short,” that presented the 2008 housing market bubble like a music video crossed with an informercial. And now there’s Todd Phillips‘ “War Dogs,” which tells the true story of a couple of ambitious young men who worked in the grey area of arms dealing, and made millions. It might not be as frenetic as those aforementioned pictures, but it’s mostly just as entertaining, even if lacking in moral bite.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
