Rating: 5 cats
Director: Mike Nichols
Starring: Julia Roberts | Philip Seymour Hoffman | Tom Hanks

Charlie Wilson’s War

Bruce says: “CHARLIE WILSON’S WAR is not a film I was looking forward to seeing. To my surprise it was my favorite among the Hollywood year-end fare. Had I thought it through I might have not been so surprised. After

Rating: 2.75
Director: Joe Roth
Starring: Billy Crystal | Catherine Zeta-Jones | John Cusack | Julia Roberts
