Netflix:Round 2: Charlie Wilson's War

This kind movie is right up my alley. With strong performances by Tom Hanks and that other guy; the character played by the other guy was especially interesting. Charlie Wilson as played by Tom Hanks was a colorful congressman from Texas who had accepted his station in life.

He was not ashamed of being a mainly regarded for his flaws. This movie had everything from women, scantily clad women, espionage, politics and historical significance. Its a story that is not often told and a lesson we have not learned as a society as yet. I can now officially accept Mr Hanks apology for that island movie.
*********************
On a slightly different note... While cooking breakfast I thought to check out Dare Devil. FX always has some movie on but for once it was not X-Men 3. I had some good will stored up for the Afflecks after his brother's performance in Jesse James; big brother Ben officially used it all up in 15 minutes.

I took in a couple minutes of my day and it felt like I lost a lifetime. Jennifer Gardner didn't help either. How did they think Electra was a good idea after this steamy load?
