Nixon
A surprisingly sympathetic account of the life of Richard Nixon from Oliver Stone, NIXON stars Anthony Hopkins as the former American president. Told out of chronological order, the film traces Nixon's life from his strict Quaker upbringing, through his rise in the Republican party, to his wounding defeats in the early 1960s, and finally to the triumph of the presidency and the disgrace of Watergate. Viewing Nixon as a tragic figure, Stone finds the answer to the man's debilitating flaws in the hobbling insecurities fostered by his rigid youth. The film's supporting cast includes Joan Allen, James Woods, Ed Harris, and Bob Hoskins.

A boldly conceived film on the corruption of power. It attempts to cast Nixon as the protagonist of a tragedy in a Shakespearean mould Ð like Macbeth, he clambers over the dead bodies of others to seize power and to retain it. While the film fails to show

Actress Rebecca Hall avoids reading press coverage of her performances after constantly worrying about her father Peter Hall's reviews as a child. The Frost/Nixon star grew up watching her director dad work on theatre productions, and she admits seeing him "religiously" pore over his reviews has put her off looking at her own. She tells Britain's Telegraph magazine, "He gets all of them and lays them out on the kitchen table and goes through everything in detail. "I remember being a kid and... Read more
