Thread: FROST/NIXON was fantastic!

    FROST/NIXON was fantastic!

    I'm having trouble deciding who had the better fantastic performance, Michael Sheen or Frank Langella (who really got to shine towards the end, IMO). Really makes me want to see their stage version, as there's one scene in particular that would have been amazing to see live at a playhouse. The writing was excellent, and Ron Howard's direction really served this film well.

    That said, I'm still dying to see BENJAMIN BUTTON.

    I'm eagerly awaiting it. I just ordered the play from work and am debating whether I should see the movie first or read the play (I'm leaning toward the play first).

    If they have to make a film out of a play, it is usually a plus when they can use the original cast.

    Michael Shhen is an amazing actor. He'll win an Oscar within five years.

    Are you talking about the
    Spoiler:
    very heated "It's not illegal when the president does it"
    back and forth? I had the same feeling as you during that sequence.

    That, but also
    Spoiler:
    the Nixon drunk dial,
    which I thought was fantastically written and really well played by both sides. You really got to see both man at their cores in that scene.

    You're the second friend out here who's making me crazy jealous by catching a screening of this. I've got to get my connections game right. I'm slipping.
