Too Excited for The Amazing Spider-Man 2

I've seen trailers before. I've even seen a movie or two. But this year is set to have some of the most exciting movies ever. I'm not normally one to be excited by trailers and heresay and whathaveyou but some of these movies look amazing. Such as...

The Amazing Spider-Man 2

The Amazing Spider-Man 1 may not have been the best superhero movie, hell, it wasn't even the best Spider-Man movie. It had it's fair share of problems, such as recapping an origin that movie-goers saw a decade ago, aborting plotlines like Peter's super spy parents, and fighting a bigger, stronger version of himself in the Lizard. But the new movies have Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield who are cast perfectly as Gwen Stacey and Peter Parker. The new movies were always being built to be part of a franchise and that would be the excuse for all the dangling threads in the first movie. With all that aside, check out the trailer.

Crime has had to adapt to dealing with a superhero. Super villains are beginning to pop up and team up against our Amazing hero. Just look at Electro alone. He shoots lightning bolts, that's what Thor does and Thor doesn't go around fighting Spider-Men in the movies. The odds have ramped up, Spider-Man has to deal with bigger threats. And Electro is just one of them. He also has to deal with a Robot Rhinoceros (AKA The Rhino) and a Super Villain hiding behind the scenes who knows Spider-Man's secret.

Sure, Spider-Man 3 suffered from having too many villains, but hopefully this one will be different.

There is also the mention of Aunt May hiding something about Peter Parker's past. The old thread in the first movie will actually be used. This is amazing, everyone thought the plot thread will just be forgotten, but there you go. We are finally going to learn that Peter Parker's past parents discovered a cure for cancer and then were killed by Carnage. Or not.

We have to all get excited for May to see how this movie turns out.

The Man of Wall Street

There may be spoilers below for the 2013 movie The Wolf of Wall Street.

I saw TWOWS  for a mate's birthday the other day and it rocked my world. Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio's character) is a wolf of a man. All the money is his, all the drugs are his, and all the women are his. But most of all, all the power is his. Jesus, believe me, this guy is a beast.

Through shift stock deals and manipulating the markets Belfort builds himself an empire out of penny stocks. He becomes partners with Jonah Hill after Hill quit his job in a bet to Belfort.

Now I know some of you reading this may have taken a completely different take on this movie. You could say that I am putting the character on a pedestal. You could even say that DiCaprio's character was a no-good criminal. You'd be right.

Belfort and his newly founded company of thieves robbed money from working class Americans to give to themselves. After Belfort had all the money everyone wanted it, his friends, his wife, a Swiss Banker, and the FBI. And everyone got it. And they wanted more. The correlation I would like to draw is that Jordan Belfort wanted more money, since he is the Wolf and all, but everyone else wanted more money as well. So who are all these other people? They have to also be wolves. Beta Wolves.

Throughout the movie it was shown countless times that Belmont was not a smart man, he was not an honest man. But he got exactly what he wanted. He may have lost it. But he had all the power in the world.

So, is a wolf someone that gets what they want? I don't think so. I think a man (or woman) should always try to get what they want, whether it be money or a better life. Should they do it dishonestly? That isn't for me to say, I think everyone should consider that for themselves.
