Oliver Stone - 2008

What was most disturbing about this movie was that Stone makes you root for Bush. Subversive. James Cromwell is absolutely disturbing as "41" and makes you really feel for "43". The character players were all very good, and Brolin is excellent as Bush.

It seems that one of Stone's hypotheses is that had Bush been able to just play baseball for a living, he never would have bothered to work so hard to become president. Fascinating.

In 3D this time.

Peter Berg - 2008

If Will Smith weren't so damn likable, this movie would really suck. Which is odd, because Peter Berg is pretty good, and Charlize Theron is absurdly attractive. But, it's pretty dumb.

Pete Travis - 2008

Second time...still pretty average. Love Forrest Whitaker though.

Brian DePalma - 1983

Oliver Stone writes, Brian DePalma directs, Al Pacino, Michelle Pfeiffer star - awesome. The final scene is pure 80s indulgence.

the hangover

Todd Phillips - 2009

Quite funny.
