Like him or hate him, George W. Bush was one of the more engaging personalities to occupy the White House. Josh Brolin does capture some of that in this movie, but neither he or the director (Oliver Stone) seem to know what they want to say about the man. Some scenes go for muted satire, while others go for strained drama. Very few have the feeling of authenticity. Maybe that's because they couldn't (or wouldn't) explore these people as they really are, going mainly for who they are perceived to be by some. Stone was able to bring compelling character backround and historical balance to his "Nixon" in 1995 (with the help of the great Anthony Hopkins). Here he doesn't even approach that. It delves lightly, rather than deeply, into the story of a president who was popular enough to win re-election and controversial enough to inspire fierce debate over his policies. We don't get into much of that in 'W,' since the focus is on the first term and the father/son relationship between two presidents.
A Porn Movie with a heart? yes

Kevin Smith does a wonderful job showing the human side (pardon the pun) of the porn industry. Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks have a wonderful chemistry together, and it shines through. The supporting cast is great and the movie has a wonderfully touching love story.
Funny. Keep the kids away, but funny.

Funny, walking the line between funny and obscene.
Role Models was much funnier than I expected. I thought it was going to be a typical feel good comedy about two losers who show they are really great guys in the end. It exactly that, but it was done with great humor and acting. Much better than I expected.

Should've stopped with Spidey 2, this one takes on way too much and flops miserably compared to rest of series.
