As of today, director Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio are officially signed on to make another movie they've been wanting to do together called The Wolf of Wall Street. The film is based on the memoir by Jordan Belfort and tells the story of "his days as a hard partying, drug addicted stockbroker who was indicted in 1998 for security fraud and money laundering and served a 22-month federal prison stretch."
I love watching the films of Scorsese and DiCaprio. They're a great team of awesome talent that knows how to make solidly amazing films. I expect nothing less but complete greatness from these guys, and I'm sure they'll bring it with their fifth collaboration.
Executive producer and writer of HBO's The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire, Terence Winter, wrote the script for the movie. For those of you not familiar with they guy, the movie is based off of his coming...

There isn’t much news here to speak of, only that the third time is the charm, after news of a Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio reunion was once and twice confirmed. An official press release lets us know that everything has come together for a summer shoot for The Wolf of Wall Street, which sees DiCaprio playing stockbroker Jordan Belfort in the film written by Terrence Winter (The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire).
ScreenDaily also chimes that the film is a budgeted at a fairly large $85 million, somewhat surprising after his last film, Hugo, wasn’t a box office hit. But Scorsese tends to get what he wants regardless and considering his last DiCaprio collaboration, Shutter Island, was the biggest success of his career, the pattern could certainly be repeated. Check out the press release below.
Los Angeles, CA – April 19, 2012 – Martin Scorsese will direct “The Wolf of Wall Street” starring Leonardo Dicraprio.

Debbie Lum Image from “Seeking Asian Female.”
Five years ago, Debbie Lum set out to investigate a phenomenon that she says has “haunted” her — and some other Asian women — her entire life.
“I’m talking about yellow fever!” she says. “If you’re Asian, you know exactly what I mean. It’s Asian American Issues 101.”
If you’re not Asian, what Lum is referring to is the targeted attraction that some non-Asian men have toward Asian women — an obsession, in some cases,...

[Our thanks to regular Twitch reader Indiemaker for the following review of Dave Boyle's indie comedy White on Rice.]
White on Rice is a film that has slowly but surely garnered its fair share of buzz these past few months. I know Todd posted a brief review over the summer and I suspect the film is going to become a substantial cult célèbre even if it may be a while before many of you get a chance to see it.
White on Rice has become something of a festival darling and rousing crowd pleaser throughout its extensive fest play. The film is currently being self promoted and independently distributed by its writer/director David Boyle. So if you're anxious to see it now, you need to go to the website and beg Dave to personally bring it to your town.
I'm sure the director is becoming more and more wary of all of the comparisons being made in reviews to Napoleon Dynamite. Let me say they're unwarranted even if...
