Movie Reviews of Nixon - Collector's Edition
Movie Review: Good DVD transfer--but not anamorphic
Summary: 5 Stars
Another well-crafted masterpiece from Oliver Stone with an incredible performance by Anthony Hopkins in the title role. The 'R' rating is due to some profanity, which is hardly noticeable compared to other 'R' rated films.
The transfer of this film to DVD ("Collector's Edition" release)is quite good, based on my viewing this movie on a 46-inch Samsung high definition LCD TV, played on a Toshiba HD DVD player. The picture is sharp and the colors are perfect. The format is widescreen, but unfortunately it was NOT enhanced for large screen TVs, so it is not anamorphic and you wind up with this (annoying) letterbox, reduced-size image. Hopefully this movie will be one day released in a 16x9 aspect ratio. Other than that, this DVD is well worth its price and "Nixon" is a movie that you will watch again and again.
Summary of Nixon - Collector's Edition
Oliver Stone's controversial drama about the Nixon years in the White House stars Anthony Hopkins in a genuinely great performance as the scandal-plagued president. The film attempts to wed suggestions of Nixon's formative experiences as a boy to his political connections with shady movers and shakers and finally to his self-destructive tenure in the Oval Office. The Watergate scandal is revisited rather impressionistically--it may be hard for viewers who weren't alive then to get a sense of what the crisis was about. The parade of stars playing figures in Nixon's orbit--J.T. Walsh as John Ehrlichman, James Woods as Bob Haldeman, David Hyde Pierce as John Dean, etc.--is fun if a tad distracting. Joan Allen got a well-deserved Oscar nomination as First Lady Pat Nixon, and Hopkins got one as well. --Tom KeoghA dramatization of Richard Nixon's involvement in the Watergate conspiracy resulting in his resignation from the presidency. Includes an interview with Oliver Stone & footage cut from the film.
