Goin' for a Michael Douglas double feature here. When you think about the bulk of his roles, very many of them seem very "Gordon Gekkoish"--this one has the financial criminal trade up to murder (David Fincher's The Game also kind of falls into this role category). This is actually a remake of Hitchcock's classic Dial M For Murder, only the husband is a big Fund Manager that is getting hit with some HUGE margin calls, so he finds out his rich trust fund wife Gwenyth Paltrow) is having an affair with a shady artist (Viggo Mortensen) and cooks up a plan to blackmail him into murdering her. Doing the Financial theme, because I cyber-commute to Wallstreet for a living--and I've seen over the years just about everything one can image from that crowd! Some of it great--a lot of it terrible and horrifying! But, I am having a good Fright Month in the markets. It's provided some real sell-off and buy back thrills so far!
