I just saw Charlie Wilson's War -
I highly recommend it.
Part of it made me think about Biden when he was trying to get something done about Kosovo to end the rape camps and help the refugees.

This movie critic gives it :thumbsup: :thumbsup: lol.

4. I still want to see it
so don't spoil the ending. I've heard from a couple of people that it's good. You guys make me want to see it even more now.

9. Nope - won't say a word.
I'll just say that I wanted to get a popcorn refill during the movie . . . but never did.

It was that good.

6. I saw it just before Christmas
with the holiday traffic. i enjoyed it emensily. However at the end a few hard core rethugs started to craw... "Revisionist History" "this was pure fiction" "total bullshit"... Until some guy yelled "you republicans can't accept Democrats doing things correctly." I chimed in "Regan was president but not in control" someone else spoke up "yeah, Regan forgot about authorizing illegal activities, remember Iran contra?"
that was it untill out in the parking lot I heard another altercation "Fucking Commies" with the retort "bullshit we Dems kill commies cheaper than you republicans, and we we are forced to clean up your messes."

I give the movie five stars. a must see...
