MORE IS NEVER ENOUGH.

Few filmmakers depict greed and amorality on screen like Martin Scorsese. Thrilling, glamourous, seductive: his unflinching eye sees all and refuses to look away. Nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) is a monstrous masterpiece, equal parts hilarious and horrifying.

Leonardo DiCaprio is on dazzling form in the frenetic true life tale of New York stock-broker Jordan Belfort and his rise from boiler room brokerage firm to a decadent life of obscene wealth, stratospheric drug-use, and rampant corruption. Spiralling out of control as government investigators close in, Belfort’s fall is as spectacular as his meteoric rise.

Revered filmmaker Martin Scorsese directs the shocking true-life story of New York stockbroker Jordan Belfort.

From the American dream to corporate greed, Belfort goes from penny stocks and righteousness to IPOs and a life of corruption in the late 80s. Excess success and affluence in his early twenties as founder of the brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont warranted Belfort the title – “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

Money. Power. Women. Drugs.

Temptations were for the taking and the threat of authority was irrelevant. For Jordan and his wolf pack, modesty was quickly deemed overrated and more was never enough.

But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador.

A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies.

At the ages of 24 and 25 years old, we lost two of hip hop's most influential and talented voices in eerily similar ways. Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G were once two friends making their way through the hip-hop industry until a misunderstanding drove a wedge between the two rappers. On September 7, 1996, Tupac was shot in a drive-by shooting. Just 6 months later, Notorious B.I.G was fatally shot in a drive-by in Los Angeles on March 9, 1997.
