JUST got home from seeing "LINCOLN". Trust me. SEE IT. Here is why:

96. Saw this movie today. It's good, but I don't recommend it.

It's good, but not great, so if you don't have anything else to do, it's an entertaining film. Nothing beyond that.

I found it corny, sentimental, boring at the beginning. It's about the passing of the 13th Amendment, and that's it. Oh, yeah, Lincoln and other politicians were involved in that, but it's really about how to get a constitutional amendment passed, how hard it is to do, and how unlikely it was to get that one passed at that time.

DDL turned in a good performance, but not quite as good as he normally does. Maybe because he missed the crustiness of the woodsman in Lincoln? Not being from the country, he may not have realized that (or Spielberg). Whatever it was, his performance didn't wow me. Then again, we don't really know what Lincoln was like. It was a good performance...don't get me wrong. It just wasn't quite a "wow."

Sally Field and Jones were superb. Spader - wow, he was so entertaining. He always is. Who'd have thought that good lookin' young man that Spader was years ago (what a hunk he was...too beautiful to be male) would end up being an awesome character actor! Anyone recognize one of Spader's cohorts as one of the trio who was in Wherefore Art Thou, Brother?

David Straitharn....that man was so sexy when he was young. He's "mature" now, but still what I'd call a sexy man. A very sexy man.

Good movie. But I wouldn't tell a friend to go see it. I'd recommend they wait and see it on TV.
