Mrs. RandySF and the kid are going to visit a friend of hers and give be a Boxing Day afternoon all to myself. I already saw the Hobbit, so I am debating between 47 Ronin and Wolf of Wall Street. Any suggestions?

(4,031 posts)Entertaining throughout with a fantastic cast. I actually applauded at the end, because I was so caught up in the plot(s), and I never do that!
May see it then, as its at my 'neighborhood' theater. Hadn't been thinking of it.

(4,031 posts)(husband works in the business), so I can be pretty jaded. This movie is based on the abscam scandal of the 70's, which makes for some interesting wardrobe selections and hairdos of the era. The character development throughout the plotline was impressive, and I found the whole movie hit all the bases. Check it out!

(31,405 posts)Wolf of Wall Street is VERY long--too long--Scorsese is not known for
his editing skills. Frankly, I found it a little boring. DiCaprio was excellent,
though, as usual.
American Hustle was interesting; I'm old enough that I vaguely remember
Abscam. Amy Adams, Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper all turn in terrific
performances. Wardrobe for the guys was spot on; no women in the
late 70's/early 80's EVER dressed for a business meeting the way Amy
Adams' character was turned out. It really bothered me to see the accurate
clothing for the men and Hollywoodized, slutted up attire for the woman
who was supposed to be passing herself off as someone with a British title.
