Frost/Nixon: Damn, Tricky almost won this one!

We were rooting for Trickster but, alas, he didn't make the final cut in the last session.

I found this to be an enjoyable chess match between two camps with Frost being the "vapid" guy in the middle.

Langella gave an oscar worthy performance but I felt it actually had a touch too much gravitas or Dracul about it.

Sheen was excellent and it's funny to see him as a werewolf and Nixon-bater in the same weekend. I guess in the UK you take what you can get. Platt and Rockwell gave their usual fine performance and Bacon shined as the "intense" ultimate Nixon man.

This film is a boomers delight and I see it pleasing both sides of the audience--which was a difficult task.

"I guess in the UK you take what you can get."

Well, the director of Underworld took Michael Sheen's long time partner Kate Beckinsale during filming and eventually married her!

If I were Michael I'd have sunk my fangs into Len Wiseman's jugular...

...the best film I've seen so far this year.

Have not seen Milk yet.

What did you think of that one, grits? From a film making perspective, that is.
