Great Gatsby

The Lovely Sharon and I went to the the movies yesterday.  We saw The Great Gatsby. I have always liked the story.  I have read F.Scott Fitzgerald's novel a couple of times but not for more than 30 years, maybe even longer.  I bought a new copy of the book a week or so ago but I have not yet started reading it.  The movie was ok but not great.  It had a entirely different feel than the Robert Redford version of The Great Gatsby which was also not great.

The movie had great visual effects and bold coloring but it did not seem particularly believable

The reviews have not been positive but over the first weekend of its release, the movie made a lot of money.

I am not certain I am glad I saw the movie but it was a hot day and the theater offered a cool respite from the heat.
