FINALLY! "Bernie" is a movie worth watching

Bernie (9) got me back to the theater. Glad I went (for a change.)

Frost/Nixon

Starring: Frank Langella, Michael Sheehan

Rating: 8



Plot: Based on a series of TV interviews three years after Nixon's resignation,this movie is well crafted and well acted. It held my attention throughout. It forcuses on Nixon's awkward and sometimes devious personality and Frost's difficulty in keeping Nixon from dominating the interviews. It may discomfort many people who feel that any critique of the Nixon administration should be balanced by the positive things that happened. Nevertheless, the movie is deserving of it's nomination for an Academy Award.
