	DVD REVIEW: "BOILER ROOM"
		While the coloring/lighting of a few scenes might seem odd to some viewers (such as the broker room always being bathed in a cool bluish hue), the effect is entirely purposeful (in that example to give the room a cold and impersonal appearance).
		As far as the audio is concerned, the various rap & hip-hop songs sound great (from an aural and not necessarily artistic standpoint), as does the film's score, while various subtle sound and spatial effects are also present.
		That's because the writer/director of "Boiler Room" has simply taken Oliver Stone's far superior 1987 film, "Wall Street," along with bits of James Foley/David Mamet's "Glengarry Glen Ross" and fashioned a "new," or at least updated cautionary tale about sales and greed on Wall Street.
