W.


After Oliver Stone's last debacle(anyone see Alexander), he needed a solid showing with his next project and I think he did it. He chose to do another biopic and he didn't use any of his prejudices or conspiracy theories either. I for one would've laughed all day at a Bush bashing film, but he chose to show the human side of the retard, instead of just the stupid side.(that's all the bashing I'm going to do too). It show's some of his flaws, but doesn't preach on his bad choices in life, because we all make them. It almost makes you feel sorry for him. I just had a problem with the "why" part of the movie. Why make a motion picture about one of the worst, if not the worst president in the history of our country? His story really isn't that fascinating. In the end, it's not the context that made this a watchable film, but the curiosity. Better than reading a bio on "W", but nothing spectacular if you don't give a rats ass about the "W". Good for what it is and that's about it.

Alexander was fantastic. You have no idea what you're talking about.
