Film INDEX
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (12A) ●●●●● (Oliver Stone, US, 2010) Shia LaBeouf, Michael Douglas, Carey Mulligan. 132min. Oliver Stone’s sequel to the iconic original has all the fancy moves and polish of a classic Hollywood melodrama. Gordon Gekko (Douglas) is released from prison into a world where ‘greed is good’ has become a generation’s way of life, and becomes the voice crying in the wilderness against the doom-laden folly of the American financial system. But has the wily old leopard changed his spots?. Selected release. Warren Miller’s Wintervention (E) (, Various, Various) 90min. The annual ski and snowboard film showcase. Glasgow Film Theatre.

When in Rome (PG) ●●●●● (Mark Steven Johnson, US, 2010) Kristen Bell, Josh Duhamel, Anjelica Huston. 87min.
