Dino what can you tell me about Shia LaBoef -is it a special way of cooking steak?

He turned up in a surprisingly watchable and effective low budget thriller on BBC1 the other night called Disturbia. Mind you, he didn't have to act much, the plotting was sufficiently tight and the direction maintained the tension all the way.

"The Wolf Of Wall Street". A true story based on the autbiography of the central character, Jordan Belfort, which means the hideous little shit will be deriving a considerable income from this turgid and overlong film which takes absolutely no moral stance on this chronicle of greed, corruption and selfishness. It features very explicit scenes of sex, but is really rather boring. Three hours long. The rise and fall of a man with no morals at all - and presented as a mirror to the ugliness of Wall Street and its milieu. (There is even a knowing reference to "Greed is Good" and Gordon Gekko). The only moment in the film that really suggests director Martin Scorsese acknowledges the wreckage the progress of this latter-day rake has had on the lives of thousands of ordinary people is late in the film, when an FBI man who has been pursuing Belford, is shown in a New York subway train with sad looking people - perhaps the sort of individuals who are victims of Belford and his rancid crew. It does have a very good central performance by Leonardo Di Caprio - vamping it up as Belfort. But this veers far too closely to admiring these people and their ilk who put the rest of us in the shit.

"Her" a new film directed by Spike Jonze in which the central character played by Joaquin Phoenix falls in love with a computer operating system called Samantha The computer's voice is that of Scarlet Johansson - and I can see how any man might fall under her spell. Her voice is terrific. (The whole package is even more so. The one time i was in the same room with her she exuded a quite remarkable animal magnetism). But the has other beautiful women - Amy Adams and Rooney Mara which merely helps highlight the sad central theme - of loneliness, portrayed with bitter sweet humour. It's a clever and very likeable film which also prompts thought about the extent to which artificial intelligence can replicate feelings and become a simulcra of a human.

Jonze is a director of ingenuity but is often wide of the mark. His best previous film was, for me, the wonderfully inventive "Being John Malkovich" but he also directed the dreadful "Where The Wild Things Are" and the disappointing "Adaptation" based, very loosely, on a great book called "The Orchid Thief" by Susan Orlean.
