MOVIE SYNOPSIS
W.
Whether you love him or hate him, there is no question that George W. Bush is one of the most controversial public figures in recent memory. In an unprecedented undertaking, acclaimed director Oliver Stone is bringing the life of our 43rd president to the big screen as only he can. W takes viewers through Bush's eventful life--his struggles and triumphs, how he found both his wife and his faith, and of course the critical days leading up to Bush's decision to invade Iraq.

Director comes up with little new about the Prez in ‘W.’
I don't envy Oliver Stone and his task, in "W.," of coming up with something novel to say about George W. Bush. After eight years of daily hyper-analysis by the 24-hour media, compounded by the endless chewing and regurgitation of yesterday's news by bloggers, I'd have been shocked if Stone had come up with anything original, be it in the realm of persona, psychology or politics.
