Charlie Wilson's War

Oscar all over this one!

Casting, incredible, down to the smallest part.

Script, brilliant, pulling off a small miracle attempted in many a film, but successful in only a few - plenty of comedic lines in a movie that isn't a comedy! Laughs a-plenty, but a film with a punch! A message profoundly relevant without being heavy-handed.

Hanks, Hoffman and Roberts - awesome ... three brilliant actors who add those little touches that spell the difference between acting and portraying. Lots of folks can act, and even act well, but only a few can portray! And in such a portrayal, the audience is pulled into the story being told - more than watching, but actually there!

In all respects, a flawless film. A great addition to a year of good films.

Hats off to Hollywood!
