Frost/Nixon - 2008
Being the sucker to politics that I am, of course I enjoyed this movie. Seems somewhat accurate in it's depiction of the historic interviews David Frost does with Nixon, and the subsequent days leading up to it. Some off putting romantic entanglement doesn't much forward the film in anyway but doesn't derail it either. One of Ron Howard's best. 4/5
If not for the interesting turn of events in the third act, this would've been a 3.5/5. Now a 4. Wonderfully acted, and directed might I add, but some scenes are either
too melodramatic, or just too drab. One of the two. No true complaints considering each drab moment is heavily outweighed by the compelling one's. God bless Haneke. On to renting
Cache now.
Saw this the day it came out, whenever that was. Originally, this was strictly meant to be just some claustrophobic/being held hostage film with a nuclear attack scenario happening outside. Then, a producer said "Hey, I know a great way we can tie this into the Cloverfield universe" and tacked on some extra terrestrial like creatures in the final act. And thank the Lord he did. I haven't seen such a well made genre movie since
Cabin In The Woods. 4.5/5
Nothing to be said, watched it twice in one day. 5/5
