RE: Spielberg's Lincoln
Just got in after catching a mid-afternoon matinee of Lincoln, which I enjoyed thoroughly. I won't try to spoil it for anybody, or put up unreasonable expectations, but I just thought it was very, very good. The movie just looked great, and the acting was excellent all around. I even enjoyed Tommy Lee Jones and James Spader, neither of whom I'm a fan of. But the standout, obviously, was Daniel Day-Lewis. I thought he was just fantastic. I don't keep up with movie awards, but I expect that he'll have a few coming his way. I was happy back when it was announced that Liam Neeson was bowing out and Lewis was taking his place. I've got no fight with Liam, but I can't imagine that he could have topped what Lewis did. Now to sit back and impatiently wait for a nice fat DVD release, hopefully one chock full of behind the scenes extras.
HA!! I knew I recognized Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens, but just couldn't place him. I just looked it up and it was Jackie Earle Haley, a.k.a. Kelly Leake from the original Bad News Bears movies. Wow! Just....wow.
