I liked "Snow Falling on Cedars" the best of those. Not great but it was worth seeing once. I'm sure it will lose quite a bit on a television screen instead of a movie screen--I love the Pacific Northwest, and the film captured the "feel" of the Pac NW pretty well. I'm one of those who thinks Ethan Hawke is underrated; he does a nice job in "Snow Falling on Cedars."Didn't like "Horse Whisperer" much. Nice performances in some of the smaller roles--Sam Neill, Chris Cooper. I don't really remember much about the film, actually. I enjoyed seeing Allison Moorer singing in it and think it probably gave her musical career a boost(well-deserved).
"U-Turn" is worth seeing because of the cast and little else.
"Nixon" is gawd-awful. There have been maybe four or five videos over the past 10-15 years that I've quit watching part way through, and this was one of them. I had higher hopes for this film than anything Oliver Stone has done, figuring that Stone's skewed view of reality might just work in his favor with a subject like Nixon. No such luck.
