My column last week about movies that are unavailable in shiny-little-disc format garnered such controversy, comment, and acclaim that I just had to write another one.

Sh!#ting on the Classics: The Great Gatsby (2013)

I recently attended director Baz Luhrmann’s new screen version of The Great Gatsby. No matter what you may have heard about this movie, I was not disappointed. I went in expecting to hate it, and I did!

Review: The Great Gatsby

by Adam Riske

Find a nice quiet room. Turn on four stereos, each playing different styles of music. Now invite over 500 people who have been drinking all day and doing speed all night. Pick the most boring person of the bunch and ask them to read you The Great Gatsby. This, my friends, is what the first 30 minutes of Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby feels like. I wanted an ejector seat. It felt like Vietnam. Then a miracle happens. The movie settles down and while never becoming good, it ceases to be terrible.
