DVD Review

Frost/Nixon Frost/Nixon is the story and basically the post-watergate interviews between British reporter David Frost (Michael Sheen) and President Richard Nixon (Frank Langella). The film shows the behind the scenes of the interview and how Frost had to finance most of the project with his own money. The interview quickly escalates into a battle of wits between the two. The two stars both deliver Oscar caliber performances and deserve all the applaud they received during its release. The film itself was nominated for 5 Oscars (Director, Editing, Picture, Adapted Screenplay, Actor (Langella)) Ron Howard proves once again that he can direct heavy handed material and still make it an enjoyable film to watch.
