9/10 Oliver Stone may be controversial with many of his movies, but I feel he only gets the opportunity to scratch the surface of one of the world’s greatest mysteries, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Call this a conspiracy theory movie or what ever else you want, but this is pure brilliance. Kevin … More JFK (1991)
9/10 The Cuban Missile Crisis almost ended the world as we knew it in 1963. The tension between the UNited States and Russia were never any worse than thirteen days in October. Headlined by Kevin Costner and Bruce Greenwood, this amazing cast do an outstanding job of bringing the drama of those days to life … More Thirteen Days (2003)
9/10 Olympus Has Fallen is an event no one has ever seen, or may actually ever see. Hollywood tries to give us the worse case scenario with a rugged hero that always saves the day. Gerard Butler is that hero. He is an ass kicker as well as a believable secret service agent with the … More Olympus Has Fallen (2013)
9/10 There are a handful comedies about the Presidency, yet none are as good as Dave. Kevin Kline is fantastic as both the President and a regular guy who can do impersonations. Dave is a real good story because it has a heart and soul, while sending a message about doing the right thing. Filled … More Dave (1993)
8/10 Chris Rock uses Head of State to give us one of the craziest Presidential campaigns ever, well that is until 2016. The movie is a non stop mockery of the campaign trail that will have you laughing from start to finish. Head of State aims to knock every cliché off the list while doing … More Head of State (2003)
7/10 Tricky Dick was a very controversal man and President. When it came time to tell the truth, or at least have the opportunity to tell the truth, he chose to play a game and not seize the opportunity in front of him. British reporter David Frost was one of Nixon’s greatest adversaries, because he … More Frost/Nixon (2008)
5/10 Lincoln is one of those movies that is held in such high regard because of its award-winning lead. I can’t quite jump on that wagon because despite the solid performance from Daniel Day-Lewis, I found this movie to be slow and boring. The cinematography and costume design was really good to showcase the late 1800’s, … More Lincoln (2012)
2/10 Abraham Lincoln was the President, this we all know is a fact. Whether or not he was a “vampire killer” is a whole other story that no one will ever know. Writers try to come up with these ideas and sometimes these type of movies are what we get. I hate to bash movies, … More Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Killer (2012)
4/10 George W. Bush is either a hero or an idiot, this opinion will be based on which side of the political line you are on. Oliver Stone tries his best to paint a bad picture of the former President but doesn’t actually hit all the marks he’s aiming for. In some regards this film … More W. (2008)
6/10 Primary Colors is loosely based on a real candidate who ran and won the office of the Presidency. John Travolta gives a solid performance as a southern man with many skeletons in his closet aiming to win the White House. I never felt the ending of this film did it justice, but that’s not … More Primary Colors (1996)
