Welcome to Fun Stuff with Deb

My movie recommendation for the week: Oliver Stone's W. The director's portrayal of the President is more sympathetic than I expected, and provided some motivation for why he is the way he is, but still skewered him pretty well. The casting is fabulous. Josh Brolin disappears inside the character of George W. Bush. Thandie Newton's Condi Rice is scary, and I won't be surprised if she gets a Best Supporting Actress nomination. Unless you're a staunch Republican, you'll probably enjoy this film.
