Let's see... [In reply to] Can't Post

Lincoln: If you want to know something about a person's life, you need to look at their actions, and what those actions created. This is the way Steven Spielberg has chosen to educate and inform us about probably one of the most iconic figures in US History, or world history for that matter. The study of his final months in office, and the political battle to pass the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery is a brilliant take that give real perspective to history, and here, Spielberg lets the words and actions tell the story. Tony Kushner's play-like script toes the fine line between education and realism in almost perfect ways. Spielberg's restrained direction keep the overall themes in play throughout the long scenes in rooms and Congress. It's a long film, but it draws you in, because it's successful at playing on these themes of fairness, equality, and justice under the law.

Les Miserables: It doesn't have the impact of a live show, but it has some interesting innovation of having the actors sing to the camera work rather than dubbed in later. If you liked the musical, or musicals in general, you will probably be entertained.

Downton Abbey: Here in the US we don't get season 3 until now, so we had a small party for the premiere of Season 3. All I can say is, it's one of the best things I've seen in a long time on TV.

oh yeah, I saw some weird film about furry-footed people and dwarves and wizards, it was ok, too ;)
