W movie preview
12.10.08 (9:04 am)   [edit]

Pretensions is still working on her review of the Anne Sophie Von Otter Christmas Special she went to last Friday, but in the meantime, here is a short preview of "W", the new George Bush movie. Yes, P knows that the film has already been showing since October in the States, but it has shown no signs of being released over here.

The semi-satirical biop is directed by Oliver Stone and stars Josh Brolin in the title role, supported by Elizabeth Banks as the first lady, Richard Dreyfuss as Dick Cheney and James Cromwell as Bush Senior. The film has received mixed reviews from the critics so far, scoring a 57% from Rotten Tomatoes, for example, 'though Dreyfuss in particular, seems to be eliciting praise for accurately incarnating Dick Cheney.

Though meant as a satire, the movie has been accused of being arguably too sympathetic towards Dubya. P is going to have to watch the film and tell you her opinion, but in the meantime, have a funny photo and the link to a trailer video. If anyone has seen it already, please leave a comment on what you thought!

"Anti-Bush" photo These aren't really anti-Dubya notices, they're witty adverts for a Bikini Wax, post-November elections.
