DUBYA

So tonight I went to see W and I have to give credit to Oliver Stone. At first, I was hesitant to see it thinking that it could tend towards the unabashedly leftist campaigns demonizing the president as an the evil man who marks the corner stone of the moral decline of our fair country. To my surprise , the film turned out to be a pretty engaging biographical account that portrayed W from his years at Yale to more or less the present. I found myself compelled by a man and the things that shaped his life as a simply a man trying to live his life in the shadow of his father. The film flashbacked between young and old Bush from his years as an adolescent living under the shadow of his father to the war room with the whole crew rationalizing preemptive invasion of the entire middle east for Freedom with a capital 'F' ('Oil'). But that's beside the point. Brolin was W for 129 minutes. As were each of his castmates. Much of the film centered around his time in office involving his immediate cabinet and succeeds in delivering intensely real and haunting performances by: Josh Brolin (Dubya), Ellen Burnstyn (Loorrra), Toby Jones (Karl) and Richard Dreyfuss (Dick.). For the most part, the cast exacted a humanizing and unforgiving portrayal of deeply complicated characters that makes the film worth watching. see it. like it or not. 2.6/5 stars

I would post the trailer here but it seems silly. Instead, here is a little something from Spain that's taking over like Franco in the 50s. His name is Rodolfo chikilicuatre and he's here to party and spread happiness to the entire world. De todas formas, Rodolfo existe para la baila eternal en su corazon. Abrazad el chiki chiki. Abrazadlo.
