The Anti-Jeb
+ To understand this movie, you need to understand Oliver Stone
+ Oedipus Tex
Talk about bait and switch... and I'm glad for the foolery. I'm a strong Texas Liberal and planned on two hours of laugh out loud enjoyment at our native son's expense. But I got so much more. Oliver Stone ignored the 2000 election and 9/11, to focus on Bush as a real person. I have met ...

JFK (Special Edition Director's Cut) - Oliver Stone Collection
Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones
Warner Home Video, 2001
Political perfection...
+ JFK - Blu-ray Info
+ "It's Up To You"
I have made it pretty clear in the past that Oliver Stone is a director I just don't really get. He is lauded by many and he is considered to be one of the most controversial directors of our time, but every film of his that I have seen has proved to be less controversial and more boring and ...

loved it!
+ Good
+ Pretty good
I loved this film. It is incredibly accurate from an historical point of view. The events. people, and places depicted were 100%. If you are a Jefferson scholar, historian, or fan; you will appreciate the detail this film contains. It has been criticized for being slow and overly long. It is ...

George H.W. Bush: Speeches of the 41st President
George H.W. Bush
Soundworks Int. DVD, 2005
This is worth your time.
Viewing this DVD is worth your time. Not since Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush were President, have we heard much about American exceptionalism. Even with all of our problems, the USA is still the greatest nation on earth, but you do not hear much of this anymore. America enjoys great freedom ...

Sunrise at Campobello
Ralph Bellamy, Greer Garson
Warner Home Video, 1998
Jean Hagen Shines
+ ONE DETERMINED INDIVIDUAL
+ Wonderful Docudrama!
Ralph Bellamy and (to a lesser degree) Greer Garson won plaudits for the amazing way they sunk themselves into their roles as FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt; and Hume Cronyn is also very good, but for sheer professionalism acting honors go to Jean Hagen for her no-nonsense take as FDR's private ...
