2006 - Dir: Robert Altman Shown at The FeckenOdeon on 13th November, 2009 “What a lovely film this is, so gentle and whimsical, so simple and profound.

Frost/Nixon is a 2008 film based on a play about David Frost's 1977 series of interviews with Richard Nixon. Ron Howard directs. Frank Langella is Richard Nixon and Michael Sheen is David Frost. The Younger Son gave this to me for my birthday, and we watched it tonight. I remember well the events that led up to the story told in this film. It makes me mad all over again. And apparently we learned nothing...

The critics have been miserly about Jim Carrey's Scrooge. Are they right, or do they just lack a little Christmas cheer? Ben Child passes the humbugs Perhaps the critics need a visit from the ghost of Christmas criticism: there is very little real joy in their hearts when it comes to Robert Zemeckis's latest 3D motion capture spectacular, a retelling of Charles Dickens's tale of an old miser who comes...

So far as I can tell, I don't think Roger Ebert has reviewed any Saw film since the first, which he gave a mixed-to-negative review: An efficiently made thriller, cheerfully gruesome, and finally not quite worth the ordeal it puts us through . And I don't mind that he hasn't. Ebert has a lot of films to see; even if I love the series, I can understand why he'd want to devote his movie-watching time...
