To pass the time this next week (a holiday week without any services or opportunity to meet with other family) I decided to get some movies as I hate all the football on TV this time of year. I had talked to Angela and she reminded me I could go to the library to get them. I thought they would be free, but they cost me two dollars a movie. I can have a balance of $10 with them and the movies have to be returned by next Saturday. I rented the Wolf on Wall Street, 12 years a slave, the butler, Philomena, Nebraska, and Thor. I was able to pay down $2 right of way.
The first movie I chose to watch today was the Wolf on Wall Street. What a movie! I thought it was supposed to be funny but it had me on the edge of my seat. What a strange movie. If you have a strong stomach for very explicit sex scenes and over-indulgence of drugs then you can get through the movie to learn about the bottom line. It was sad to see how badly money and greed corrupt someone but there was also an underlying message of true friendship and loyalty to one another. And then of course one could not deny seeing how back-stabbing and revenge could have such a serving role. The actors - who were all Oscar nominated a year ago - were truly awesome in this movie. On a scale of one to five, I give the movie a four.
