Title

Thighs Wide Shut

Description

Excerpted from the website:

The tale of how former House Rep Charlie Wilson (Tom Hanks back in fun mode), Texas socialite Joanne Herring (the always annoying Julia Roberts) and CIA Agent Gust Avrakotos (P.S. Hoffman who is the very definition of a best supporting actor) orchestrated the 'largest covert operation in history' during the Soviet war in Afghanistan is so beyond extraordinary that one could easily believe the whole thing was drummed up by Dustin Hoffman's uber-producer character from Wag The Dog . And by the way the movie based on that very true story zips right along, with typical Aaron Sorkin talky flair and cruise-control direction by Mike Nichols, one could still buy into the notion that it's all fictional. Fo reals or fo reels, it don't matter, cause Charlie Wilson's War works well enuff as an entertaining political flick that doesn't hit you over the head with its message. The same can't be said of a bunch of other flicks released this fall that all fizzled at the box office. Who knew that the Cold War could be such a hot genre? Here's hoping the next war that gets the cinematic greenlight is the Cola one!
