FROST/NIXON


I finally saw Frost/Nixon the other day. I was really into the whole Watergate scandal when I was a kid. I was 13 in 1972, so it was a big part of that summer. The movie was terrific. Great acting. Frank Langella as Nixon was stupendous, and Michael Sheen as David Frost was so good, I forgot I was watching an actor. I'm not sure how much of the small details are true...like the comments Nixon made to Frost before the tapings, the late-night phone call, etc, but all in all, a really worthwhile film. Check it out.
