Ah, Nixon
Taylor Marsh — ... Telling exchange between Bill O’Reilly and Chris Wallace tonight on "The Factor." Wallace was at a screening of the new Frost/Nixon film, with the audience getting into a discussion afterwards. Evidently, the panelists started wondering who would be Frost to George W.

Movie Review--Frost/Nixon
A Chequer-Board of Nights and Days — ... , which somewhat surprised me. I agree with Hewitt that Frank Langella gives a masterful performance as Nixon and that Michael Sheen and Sam Rockwell do a great deal to buttress the film, as does Kevin Bacon's on-point portrayal of Jack Brennan, Nixon's Chief of Staff in exile.
