FROST AND NIXON

I CAN'T SAY YOU WILL LIKE THIS FILM AND I CAN'T SAY YOU NEED TO SEE THIS FILM.

IT IS "QUAINT" ( strange or unusual in a pleasing or interesting way ). IF YOU ARE THE RIGHT AGE, YOU WILL RECALL THE TWO MEN AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THERE
BEING ON TELEVISION TOGETHER.

THE FILM IS BUILT AROUND THE DETAILS OF THAT SHOW REACHING THE AIRWAVES AND FROST BEING ABLE TO GET NIXON TO ADMIT TO A DEGREE OF WRONG-DOING ON HIS PART AND NOT JUST BLAMING ALL CRIMES ON HIS MINIONS.

WHILE MY FRIEND, D.L.B. DID NOT LIKE THE VOICE USED BY FRANK LANGELLA IN THE ROLE OF NIXON - I FEEL LANGELLA DID A FINE JOB AS THE FORMER PRESIDENT.

HE MADE NIXON A REAL PERSON IN THE FILM AND NOT JUST A CHARACTER WHO HAD LINES TO READ. IT IS DIFFICULT TO PLAY SUCH A WELL KNOWN PERSON, BUT FRANK GAVE AN AWARD WORTHY PERFORMANCE.

I DID NOT SEE MICHAEL SHEEN AS DAVID FROST -- I STILL SAW HIM AS PRIME MINISTER TONY BLAIR, THE ROLE HE PLAYED VERY WELL IN "THE QUEEN," OPPOSITE HELEN MIRREN.

THERE IS A CHARACTER, CAROLINE CUSHING, I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY SHE IS FEATURED IN THE FILM, EXCEPT THAT SHE WAS GOOD LOOKING.

YOU HAVE TO COME TO THIS FILM MOTIVATED, THE FILM CAN'T AROUSE YOU IF YOU ARE NOT AROUSED BEFORE THE PROJECTOR ROLLS, IF PROJECTORS STILL ROLL.

THE FILM ASSUMES YOU CARE AND WILL PAY ATTENTION.
