biopic of America’s outgoing president, George W. Bush. Oliver Stone directs and he’s always been at his best when focussing on real politics and real history. At the very least, W will be an interesting contribution to an analysis of Bush’s presidency. -

A bunch of idiotic Hollywood superstars set out to make an iconic, Apocalypse Now-style war movie, only to find themselves in the middle of a real war… and not realizing.
