"Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works." These lines uttered by the business mastermind, Gorden Gekko, 23 years back still continue to stir a thought whenever you hear them. And Michael Douglas has reprised his role with some aplomb in the sequel Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps that has taken the US box office top spot for the weekend with $19 million. While the sequel should go on to earn more than the original that grossed $43 million in US, the more-than-two decade timeline between the movies hardly warrants a comparison. The second spot was taken by the high flying owls of Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole. The movie did not stir the box office much despite being a family-centric film released in 3D (surprised people not that interested in talking owls!). Ben Affleck's The Town continued an impressive second week with only 34% decline in weekend results. It will be grossing $50 million at the US box office soon. And catch the trailer for The King's Speech starring Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter. Hilarious, mixed with the right amount of drama!
