The 13th Great Film Of 2013.

If you think money doesn’t buy happiness, you are dead wrong. Jordan Belfort not only purchased a yacht with a helicopter on top of it, he achieved the ultimate happiness by trading up to a non-Jewish wife.

He had the best of everything: drugs, hookers, cars, a staff of servants. He was downright giddy. Meanwhile, I’m just hoping to someday become happy enough to hold my coffee with both hands.

The Wolf of Wall Street is Scorsese through and through. I love that he doesn’t do things the easy way, and he had to have worked his ass off to make this film. It’s two hours and 59 minutes long. And Leonardo Dicaprio is in almost every scene, amped up, addicted, exhausted. He’s amazing.

The fact that it’s a true story makes it all the more riveting. People lived like this! They did coke and banged chicks and didn’t hesitate for a second to take you for a ride. And if you think they’re really bad, just wait until Scorsese and DiCarprio get through with you.
