Shia Labeouf, Wall Street 2 | featured news

This week at the movies, we've got good greed (Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, starring Michael Douglas and Shia LaBeouf); heroic owls (Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole, with voice work by Sam Neill and Geoffrey Rush); and some venomous rivals (You Again, starring Kristen Bell and Jamie Lee Curtis). What do the critics have to say?

A few days ago, Shia LaBeouf commented on how crappy Transformers 2 was. Which wasn't exactly shocking for him to say, the guy has half a brain and even he knew it was crap.Now he's dumping on another movie he starred in, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. But he's not blaming George Lucas' idiotic script, which he should be doing. Instead, he's blaming himself. More from the LA Times:"I feel like I dropped the ball on the legacy that people loved and cherished," LaBeouf said, explaining that this upped the ante for him before he began shooting the "Wall Street" sequel.

Yesterday you got a very quick look at WALL STREET: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS, which apparently doesn't feel like having a "2" in the title I just noticed. Well, now we have a poster to go along with it, and it features a very young Mr. LaBeouf and a very old Mr. Gekko posing for a portrait that looks like it should be hanging in a CEO's office somewhere.
