Frost/Nixon

Another terrific movie - it's a good year (2008). Larry and I both enjoyed it and so did Frank and Betsy. I was sorry we had to wait so long for this movie to come to town. All the performances were really superb and the translation from the stage avoided stage-yness. Langella really deserves the Oscar - it had to be hard to play such a troubled and conflicted character without going over the line into pathos or caricature. But I think it's Sean Penn's year, and of course he's deserving too. I still have a few movies I want to see, but I feel like I've made respectable inroads into the Oscar fodder this year.
