Watch out! Those two “wild and crazy guys” are bracing for a return. No, I don’t mean those two ‘cats’ on Saturday Night Live either (Steve Martin/Dan Akyroyd).

Lincoln is a Good Movie, But Is it Inaccurate?

Jen Austin — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 13:51:36 +0000

A Connecticut Senator says the Steven Spielberg movie, Lincoln, is historically inaccurate.

Senator Joe Courtney has written a letter to Spielberg saying the movie has his state on the wrong side of the slavery debate. In the movie, Connecticut lawmakers are seen wanting to keep slavery, while in real life Senator Courtney says Connecticut lawmakers in the 1860's voted to abolish slavery. Now what?

The original, or should I say classic, was presented to us nearly 30 years ago, back in 1984, and although it didn’t get warm fuzzy’s from the crtitics (basically a one star entry), it was believable through the solid acting of the young cast.

Although they differ in style and tone in every way imaginable, ‘The Expendables 2‘ and ‘The Bourne Legacy‘ are both action movies and they share the same audience (people who like watching people beat up other people).

Well, the numbers are in…
