Conan O'Brien spoke with Martin Scorsese recently, getting right to the important questions regarding the director’s controversial new film The Wolf of Wall Street. No, it wasn’t about the Oscars or the exchange of open letters between Christina McDowell and Tom Prousalis (who worked closely with the real-life Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio). It was about… drugs. As you’ll see in this video, O’Brien asks the director about the “expert” who instructed DiCaprio about how to behave on Quaaludes. Most film nerds know that Scorsese struggled with drug use early in his career, and the director jokes that he had a little of his own experience to help inform his leading star. Apparently Scorsese was legally prescribed Quaaludes...

Christina McDowell, whose father Tom Prousalis went to prison for his involvement with Wolf of Wall Street swindler Jordan Belfort, is penning a memoir publisher Gallery Books announced. The Simon & Schuster imprint is pitching it as "a classic father/daughter story and a cautionary, yet ultimately positive, tale of starting over" that shows the "consequences not just for one family, but for society as a whole." McDowell's story, the publisher says is a "younger, more innocent, true-life version of Woody Allen’s recent hit film, Blue Jasmine."

Most of you reading this website will know by now that Martin Scorsese’s latest, The Wolf of Wall Street, has prompted a number of wildly different responses from audiences — from people calling it the best film of 2013 to fellow Academy members calling the director’s work “pornography” and “disgusting.” And let’s not forget that open letter from Christina McDowell, which was countered with an even better open letter from her father. Scorsese has addressed some of the backlash in a recent video interview. “Why not just show it?” the filmmaker asks us, regarding the “obscene” and “profane” behavior of Wall Street’s protagonists. He hoped to invite people to enter the mindset of money...

New York (AP) - In "The Wolf of Wall Street," out-of-control stock broker Jordan Belfort is initially furious when a Forbes magazine profile turns out to be a hatchet job labeling him a "twisted Robin Hood who takes from the rich and gives to himself and his merry band of brokers."
But Belfort (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) is quickly schooled on the rules of publicity. The next morning his office is overrun with rabid young brokers desperately waving resumes, dying to join his merry band.
The reaction to Martin Scorsese's portrait of Wall Street excess has been comically similar. It's been judged by some critics and moviegoers as a glorification of unchecked greed. But the movie's bad reputation as an orgy of drugs, sex and money (not to mention a reportedly record-setting 506 F-bombs) has also drawn eager crowds. In two weeks, the film has...

Are people still mad at Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio for making “The Wolf of Wall Street” without pounding disapproval for Jordan Belfort into audiences’ heads? As TheWrap‘s film critic Alonso Duralde pointed out earlier this week, Scorsese’s adaptation of Belfort’s memoir of the same name ignited an online war between the film’s admirers and critics — some of whom accuse the film of “glorifying greed and psychopathic behavior,” as Christina McDowell — the daughter of a stockbroker who went to jail because of Belfort’s testimony — wrote.

Dropping a record number of f-bombs, and continuing to fuel discussion about whether or not it's condoning or indicting the wild behavior within it, "The Wolf Of Wall Street" is undeniably a wild ride. Yes, we know it's in theaters already, but in case you haven't caught up or just want a refresher on the madness of the movie, there's still a lot digest right at home. Kicking things off, Break has a new clip from the film, centering on the first date between Leonardo DiCaprio's Jordan Belfort and his eventual wife Naomi, played by Margot Robbie. It's a sultry little head-to-head between the pair, who make a pretty explosive on-screen couple. Meanwhile, real life and the film continue to overlap. In case you missed it, Christina McDowell, the daughter of convicted financial felon, Thomas T. Prousalis, penned an open letter calling out the filmmakers for celebrating the lifestyle...

Bank of America and Jp Morgan's CEOs are more productive targets for rage at injustice than a Hollywood blockbuster
Greed is still pretty good. Con enough people out of millions of dollars and you'll get to live a life of hedonistic luxury where you can surround yourself with chimps on roller skates, pay women to have sex with you and enjoy midget throwing contests during slow days at the office. You might crash the odd helicopter during quaalude-fueled binges or sink the occasional yacht off the coast of Italy, but all in all, it will be a good life. You'll be the envy of many, and even if your treachery finally does bring about your downfall, the landing will be relatively soft.
So goes the basic story line of Martin Scorsese's latest film, the Wolf of Wall Street, featuring the debauched shenanigans of Jordan Belfort, a penny stock broker...

Note: There are some slight spoilers for The Wolf of Wall Street in the following editorial. Audiences are finally seeing and weighing in on The Wolf of Wall Street, as are critics, and a fascinating divide has broken out. On one side of the argument you have the people that see the film as a darkly comic satire and one that depends on the audience to recognize it as such. On the other is the camp believing it's a film that glorifies Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his Stratton Oakmont co-horts as they snort endless lines of cocaine, treat women as their play things, defraud their clients and, more or less, get away with it all in the end. What is the cause of this dividec Personally I don't know how anyone can see it as a glorification of the activities that take place. It seems Martin Scorsese's decision...

Christina McDowell, daughter of a business associate of Jordan Belfort, accuses Martin Scorsese of glamorising financial fraud
• The Wolf of Wall Street - first look review

The daughter of a man linked to the discredited financial schemes depicted in Oscar-tipped drama The Wolf of Wall Street has attacked the film's director, Martin Scorsese, and its star Leonardo DiCaprio, for glamorising a lifestyle of "fun sexcapades and coke binges".
Christina McDowell, whose father, Tom Prousalis, was a business associate of Jordan Belfort, the titular crooked stockbroker portrayed by DiCaprio in the film, accused her targets of "exacerbating our national obsession with wealth and status and glorifying greed and psychopathic behaviour" in an open letter published in La Weekly.

Jordan Belfort, the titular character played by Leonardo DiCaprio in the latest Martin Scorsese flick "The Wolf of Wall Street," soon could be getting his own reality show.
The man who was imprisoned for 22 months after being convicted of fraud crimes connected to the stock market is described as "TV gold" according to several executives who have met with him.
The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Electus CEO Chris Grant -- the head of the studio behind "Fashion Star" and "Mob Wives" -- has been "hopelessly smitten" with Belfort since reading his 2007 memoir "The Wolf of Wall Street." The pair has been pitching Belfort's "unique set of business skills" as an uplifting show that shows him "stepping in to help others who, like him, have hit rock bottom but still hold out some hope for redemption."

The Violent Kind is the latest low budget offering from The Butcher Brothers (The Hamiltons).

Throw Cody’s ex-girlfriend Michelle (Tiffany Shepis) , her younger sister Megan (Christina Prousalis) and several strong supporting cast members in and we have us a weird, twisted and ultra violent party movie.
The story takes our “gang” up to the woods to a cabin to, what else? Party! It’s all good times when all of a sudden the camera shows us that there are others watching. We watch Cory deal with his ex Michelle who is at the cabin with her new bf. Cory is the cool, calm and collected one of the entire group and plays it cool.

Another entry in Sundance's very strong Park City at Midnight program, The Butcher Brothers' The Violent Kind is sexy, bloody, and way out there. In other words, it's a lot of fun. The Butchers are able to change courses multiple times, constantly upping the ante to the point where all of humanity might just be at stake.
We meet Cody (Cory Knauf), his cousin Q (Bret Roberts) and their buddy Elroy (Nick Tagas) when the guys get in a driveway brawl over some bunk drugs Q sold. The guys are second generation of a Nor Cal bike gang and everyone is heading up to an old farm house to celebrate Cody's mom's birthday. It is not Cody's night. Q and the guys are mad about a deal he messed up and his ex-girlfriend Michelle (Tiffany Shepis) shows up with a new guy. Things take a bit of a turn...

On Wednesday the Sundance Film Festival unveiled the films competing in late January 2010. Yesterday they announced the rest of the line-up of independent films vying for attention for industry types and the curious public.
The entire list of 53 films is below, but here are a few that stood out to me from the premieres alone:
Mumblecore directors the Duplass Brothers, have a new, untitled movie starring an unusually high-profile cast compared to their usual improvisational crew. John C. Reilly, Marisa Tomei, Jonah Hill, and Catherine Keener. Reilly and Keener are actually in two films at the 2010 festival.
The Company Men, starring Ben Affleck, Kevin Costner, Maria Bello, Tommy Lee Jones, Chris Cooper, Rosemarie DeWitt about corporate downsizing.
Rodrigo Cortes’ Buried, starring Ryan Reynolds as a man buried alive in a coffin. I’ve read the script and its great. More on that as soon as I can.

Every year the fest rolls around I am jealous of those who get to attend the premiere of some of the most talked about independent films. This is the largest indie film festival in the U.S. and this year's lineup for the Park City at Midnight category looks like good stuff. The festival runs January 21 - 31 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance, Utah. Many popular horror films got their start at the festival, including Saw. I wonder if Weinberg was there... After the jump you can get up close and personal with the lineup for Sundance's Midnight movie series. Keep your eyes here for more info on the films as we get it. I also gave you my picks. Tell me yours?

The Butcher Brothers have a bit of a spotty track record with genre fans. From pleasing the majority of us with The Hamiltons to savaging some good memories of ours with their insipid April Fool's Day remake, you just have to take their films with a grain of salt.
Now that their latest film The Violent Kind starring Cory Knauf, Christina Prousalis, Taylor Cole, Tiffany Shepis, Bret Roberts, Nick Tagas, Joe Egender, Joseph McKelheer, and Samuel Child has made it to Sundance, some buzz is being drummed up around the Web.
Over at the official The Violent Kind Facebook page some artwork has popped up for the film, which you can dig on below.

One of the films that I personally am post excited to see is the Butcher Brothers' (Mitchell Altieri, Phil Flores) The Violent Kind, which stars the lovely Tiffany Shepis (Night of the Demons), alongside Cory Knauf, Taylor Cole, Bret Roberts,Christina Prousalis, and Joe Egender. The indie feature from the directors of The Hamiltons, and the producers of Halloween and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, along with producers Michael Ferris Gibson and Jeremy Platt, revolves around a group of young bikers who find themselves tormented by mysterious and gory goings-on in a secluded farmhouse. Today the official Facebook was launched, which featured the below quad poster debut!

Yesterday we got the list for the films playing in competition at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and today we get the rest of the films that will be featured and there are quite a few that make 2010 look much stronger based on pedigree alone than I have seen in quite some time. Variety has a big write-up detailing the categories and more on the festival right here, but I am just going to offer up the titles and let you sort it all out.
The titles already in the RopeofSilicon database are linked.

In addition to the competition titles which were announced yesterday, Sundance has announced the remainder of their line-up and it includes some titles we’re already familiar with along with a huge number of premieres.
Also on the docket are two new series: Next which showcases low/no budget films and Spotlight which highlights films which festival programmers deem worthy of extra love including Enter the Void (review) and Lourdes (the trailer for which I really liked).
I’m particularly excited to see some of the titles in the New Frontier program but overall, the line-up is an impressive one but the Kristen Stewart fan in me is excited to see her turn as Joan Jett in The Runaways and I think it’s fair to say we’re all dying to see Vincenzo Natali’s hotly anticipated Splice (trailer).

The Sundance Film Festival's competition lineup for 2010, announced Wednesday, might demand that audiences wear their serious caps. But the out-of-competition selections allow programmers and viewers to cut loose a little.
The 53 films that populate this year's Premieres, Next, Spotlight, Park City at Midnight and New Frontier sections run the gamut from the cosmically experimental to the star-studded and silly. There is indeed something for everyone at this year's event, which runs Jan. 21-31 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance, Utah.
As usual, Premieres collects work involving the industry's higher-profile talent, none more so than John Wells' feature directorial debut, "The Company Men," which stars Ben Affleck, Kevin Costner, Maria Bello, Tommy Lee Jones and Chris Cooper. Mexican actor Diego Luna's directorial debut, "Abel," will screen, as will Philip Seymour Hoffman's "Jack Goes Boating."
Michael Winterbottom has the rare distinction of having two films in...
