‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ review: Scorsese’s latest is easy to admire, harder to love
In a palatial mansion on Long Island, a lone, well-dressed millionaire played in an all-out performance by Leonardo DiCaprio presides virtually unseen over a bacchanal of benumbed excess, the avatar of an age of heedless self-indulgence and greed.

DVD Movie Review: God Bless America (2011)
Where to begin? I suppose I should get the family tree out of the way. The guy who plays Frank in this (Joel Murray) is the brother of one Bill Murray, whom you may have heard of.
