Lincoln
 
Nothing on this?

My wife and I saw it last week. Thought it was good but feel most of the American public will find it boring as it mainly shows the politicing and back room dealings that go on.

People clapped for it at the end. My dad said people clapped at his show also.

Worth the $10 for the 2 of us - we had a living social deal:)

Daniel Day Lewis is absolutely magnificent in this film. It is worth going to see just to see his portrayal of Lincoln. I really enjoyed it.

This. You think you ware watching Lincoln, not someone portraying Lincoln.

Good movie. My son wanted to see it as well and after 20 minutes was begging to play games on the phone

Lewis is a character actor and has been for his noteworthy carreer.I think he almost went to the nut house at one point.If you have not seen him in There Will be Blood,Last of the Mohicans,or Gangs of New York you are missing great performances.

I have not been to a movie theater in over 20 years... (probably more like 25) I can't believe anyone still goes to movies. You guys probably still read daily newspapers.

I heard they exact opposite. The Spielberg when to great lengths to be spot on accurate with history and many other details of that period of time.
