The film reunites its original two stars from the West End and Broadway productions of the play: Michael Sheen as British television broadcaster David Frost and Frank Langella as former United States President Richard Nixon. After the Watergate scandal of 1. Nixon leave the White House. Among them is British journalist David Frost, currently recording a talk show in Australia, who decides to interview Nixon. Nixon’s literary agent, Irving Lazar, believes the interview would be an opportunity for Nixon to salvage his reputation, and to make some money.

Lazar demands $5. Frost accepts. After persuading his friend and producer John Birt that the interviews would be a success, Frost and Birt travel to California to meet with Nixon. On the plane to California, Frost flirts with a young woman called Caroline Cushing, and they begin a relationship. Frost struggles to sell the interviews to U.

S. networks, and decides to finance the project with private money and syndicate the broadcast of the interviews. He hires two investigators — Bob Zelnick and James Reston Jr. Birt. Frost is not clear on what he wants from the interview, and Reston encourages him to aim for a confession from Nixon.

Frost/Nixon is a 2008 British-American historical drama film based on the 2006 play of the same name by Peter Morgan, who also adapted the screenplay.

Under scrutiny by Nixon's post- presidential chief of staff, Jack Brennan, Frost and Nixon embark on the first three recording sessions. Frost is restricted by an agreed- upon timeframe and, under pressure from his own team, attempts to ask tough questions, but Nixon dominates the sessions regarding Vietnam and his achievements in foreign policy. Behind the scenes, Frost's editorial team is nervous about the interviewer's technique and angry that Nixon appears to be exonerating himself. Four days before the final session, which will center on Watergate, Frost receives a phonecall from an inebriated Nixon. In a drunken rant, Nixon declares that they both know the final interview will make or break their careers, and compares himself to Frost, insisting that they both came from humble backgrounds and had to struggle to make it to the top of their fields, only to be knocked back down again. Frost gains new insight into his subject, while Nixon assures Frost that he will do everything in his power to emerge the victor from the final interview. The conversation spurs Frost into action.

He works relentlessly for three days to prepare, while Reston pursues a lead at the Federal Courthouse in Washington. As the final recording begins, Frost ambushes Nixon with damning transcripts of a conversation between Nixon and Charles Colson that Reston dug up in Washington. As his own team watches in horror from an adjoining room, Nixon admits that he did unethical things, adding, "When the President does it, that means it's not illegal." A stunned Frost is on the verge of inducing a confession when Brennan bursts in and stops the recording.

After Nixon and Brennan confer, the interview resumes, Frost aggressively pursues his original line of questioning, and Nixon admits that he participated in a cover- up and that he "let the American people down."After the interview, Frost and Caroline pay a farewell visit to Nixon at his villa. Frost thanks Nixon for the interviews and Nixon, graciously admitting defeat, thanks Frost in return and wishes him well, privately adding that he has no recollection of calling Frost while drunk. He also for the first time addresses Frost by his first name.

Nixon watches Frost and Caroline Cushing leave and then leans over a railing of his villa, looking out at the sunset. An epilogue states that the interviews were wildly successful and that Nixon never escaped controversy until his death in 1. Other figures and personalities depicted in the film include Tricia Nixon Cox, Michael York, Hugh Hefner, helicopter pilot Gene Boyer (as himself), Raymond Price, Ken Khachigian, Sue Mengers and Neil Diamond.

Critic Roger Ebert gave the film four stars, commenting that Langella and Sheen "do not attempt to mimic their characters, but to embody them."[1. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film 3½ stars, saying that Ron Howard "turned Peter Morgan's stage success into a grabber of a movie laced with tension, stinging wit and potent human drama."[1.

Manohla Dargis of The New York Times said, "[S]tories of lost crowns lend themselves to drama, but not necessarily audience- pleasing entertainments, which may explain why Frost/Nixon registers as such a soothing, agreeably amusing experience, more palliative than purgative."[1. Dramatic license and factual inaccuracies[edit]Both the film and the play take dramatic license with the on- air and behind- the- scene details of The Nixon Interviews.[1. Jonathan Aitken, one of Nixon's official biographers who spent much time with the former president at La Casa Pacifica, rebukes the film for its portrayal of a drunken Nixon making a late- night phone call as never having happened and says it is "from start to finish, an artistic invention by the scriptwriter Peter Morgan."[1.

Director Ron Howard discussed the scene in detail on his feature commentary for the DVD release, pointing out it was a deliberate act of dramatic license, and while Frost never received such a phone call, "it was known that Richard Nixon, during .. Watergate scandal, had occasionally made midnight phone calls that he couldn't very well recall the following day."[1. Aitken recalls that "Frost did not ambush Nixon during the final interview into a damaging admission of guilt. What the former president 'confessed' about Watergate was carefully pre- planned.

Director: Derek Cianfrance. Released: April 2.

U. S. Release Dates)A motorcycle stunt rider (Gosling) turns to robbing banks as a way to provide for his ex- lover (Mendes) and their newborn child, a decision that puts him on a collision course with an ambitious rookie cop (Cooper) navigating a department ruled by a corrupt detective (Ray Liotta). Ambitious crime saga with a clever and daring three act structure that constantly surprises with its changes of direction. It may start off a little like ‘Drive’ on a motorbike, but soon establishes its own identity.

It’s an acting showcase for current and upcoming talent. Certainly not feel- good, but a great drama. Riddick. Starring: Vin Diesel, Karl Urban, Katee Sackhoff, Jordi MollàDirector: David Twohy. Released: September 2. Betrayed by his own kind and left for dead on a sun- scorched planet, Riddick fights for survival against alien beasts and becomes more powerful than ever before. Soon bounty hunters from throughout the galaxy descend on him, only to find themselves pawns in his greater scheme for revenge. From the writer- director of the two previous movies, it’s a smaller experience than ‘Chronicles’, rated R like ‘Pitch Black’.

Karl Urban briefly reprises his role as Vaako, and the bounty hunters include ‘Battlestar Galactica’s’ Katee Sackhoff. Hard to believe it’s been 9 years since the last installment. Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson. Director: Francis Lawrence. Released: November 2.

Returning home, Katniss (Lawrence) and Peeta (Hutcherson) try to forget their time in the arena. But all is not well; rebellion is simmering.

As they embark on the Victors Tour of the districts, Katniss has to prove that her act to save both herself and Peeta in the arena was not that of defiance against the Capitol, but one of love for him. Meanwhile, the President (Sutherland) prepares a special Hunger Games made up of previous victors, to show his people who is ultimately in control. The production added some serious class since the first movie (which I thought compared poorly with ‘Battle Royale’) – this one was adapted by Simon Beaufoy (‘Slumdog Millionaire’) and Michael Arndt (‘Little Miss Sunshine’), had the director of ‘I Am Legend’, and Philip Seymour Hoffman joined the cast.

Wolverine heading to Japan where he falls for the daughter of a Japanese crime lord and goes up against Silver Samurai (Lee) and Viper (Khodchenkova). We’re told to expect different forms of martial arts – mano- a- mano, extreme fighting. Jackman says “It’s a world full of honour, tradition and customs and Wolverine’s obviously someone who’s really anti- all of that, trying to negotiate his way. He gets his ass kicked by a couple of samurai – not even mutants.

He’s shocked by that at first.” Coming from a solid director (James Mangold, ‘3: 1. To Yuma’) and writer (Christopher Mc. Quarrie, ‘The Usual Suspects’) this is different enough to erase the underwhelming memory of ‘Origins’.

Oblivion. Starring: Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko, Melissa Leo. Director: Joseph Kosinski. Released: April 2. In a future where the Earth’s surface has been irradiated beyond recognition, the remnants of humanity live above the clouds, safe from the brutal alien Scavengers that stalk the ruins.
