At least Ben Affleck admitted he struggled with the movies' portrayal especially of the New Zealanders, but of course, he may have been one of the producers, but did not write the screenplay, and everyone knows "based on actual events" means that it is not all the truth, it is a movie after all, not meant as a documentary!

I have not seen the movie, will probably wait for it to be on cable.

yes that is very true karen, i think he did produce it too or co-produce it,still surely they could get their facts straight, it is amazing how films influence peoples opinions though.

It's Frank-en-schteen.....

If you like Mel Brooks you have to watch History of the World, goofy, funny and an interesting take on 'history'.

I have just watched all of the Twilight saga series, i know a little late, but better late than never, i absolutely loved them all, and i cannot wait to go see breaking dawn part 2 which is screening right now in my city,no spoilers please, as i never saw the others on the big screen and am really looking forward to it, i just saw breaking dawn part one an hour ago.

Went with my mom and dad to see "Lincoln". Every school child in Illinois learns about "Honest Abe" but this just brings those long-ago lessons back in a whole new way. It reminded me a lot of "Schindler's List" in that they both are films about one man in a time of war, trying to do the right thing but it's an uphill process. I would really like to see it again when it comes out on DVD because there is so much to it - when I started looking at the costumes, make-up and sets, I lost track of the story! I think one of the gowns Sally Field wears was modeled after an actual gown worn by Mary Todd Lincoln from the Lincoln state museum down in Springfield.

The film was researched at the Lincoln library down in Springfield and I think also at the Chicago Historical Society. I heard on the news that Daniel Day-Lewis was at the Lincoln library doing research, but the staff only realized it was him when he answered his cell phone and his voice gave him away.

My dad is a huge 007 fan so I'm hoping we'll get to see "Skyfall" while it's still in theaters. Mr. Bond drinking beer instead of a shaken martini, though?
