Frost/Nixon

Frost/NixonGrade: A- | Genre: Drama
Summary: The film's essence is a boxing match comprised of words lasting four rounds. You have two men desperately fighting for their lives and looking to rewrite their futures. Losing just wasn't an option. .

The fascination with Richard Nixon seems to carry on with the years, and Hollywood certainly isn't immuned. In 1995, Oliver Stone directed his gaze on the fallen President, largely painting him as a man plagued by mental issues. Our most recent take Frost/Nixon doesn't focus so much on the life of Tricky Dick, but rather one moment in time -- a post resignation set of interviews he has with talk show host David Frost in 1977. It marked Nixon's one chance to tell his side of the story, and to reinforce to the American public that he wasn't the bad guy everyone had painted him out to be. He just got caught up in a massive smear campaign spearheaded by journalists that were hell bent on his political destruction. While Nixon is busy fashioning the interview to repaint his legacy, Frost saw this monumental interview as his key back under the American spotlight which dimmed for him years before. Frost stakes his entire fortune and reputation on his ability to make Richard Nixon (Frank Langella) accept his wrongdoings and fork over an apology the American public has been waiting for. A tall order indeed.

Tim Burton's new project is one of the ultimate head trip films Alice in Wonderland. Set to be released in March 2010, the film has already added the star power of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Anne Hathaway as the White Queen and Helen Bonham Carter as the Red Queen. Relative newcomer Mia Wasikowska will play the pivotal role of Alice. Wasikowska is a 19-year-old Australian actress who has had some exposure to US audiences as one of Gabriel Byrne's patients in the HBO show In Treatment. Count on CGI to play a key role in Wonderland as it does in all of Burton's fantasy visions.
